I just logged into my account for the first time in years to say this comment is amazing and I love you.

I really appreciate what you’re doing, and hope you continue doing it. I know you’re taking a professional risk and I admire you for it.

It’s the kind of place that has rainbow crosswalks and residents who go into spittle flecked rage if anyone proposes to build a homeless shelter within five miles of their house.

Hope she’s happy etc. She’s just always seemed exhausting to me, the kind of person who always has to be the center of attention.

Is Patrick Mahomes elite?

I know I’m an outlier here but I thought it was a defensible call. He grazed the helmet/facemask. It wasn’t awful and probably not even intentional, but the last thing I want is for refs to engage in Talmudic meditations over *just how much force* one needs to apply before it’s roughing. God knows there’s enough gray…

Man no one’s gonna talk about it - or not much anyway - but that was a more singular reversal of the final result than the non-PI call in the Saints game. Holy shit that was a boner for the ages. I had my thumb on the “off” button and everything.

As I Browns fan I actually kind of like the Patriots because they make the Yinzers cry great big heaving salty tears. It would’ve been nice if BB transformed into the greatest NFL coach ever while he was WITH Cleveland instead of AFTER, but who am I to judge a man’s evolution.

If .4% of the population is trans there’s only a 20.1% chance (.996 to the 400th power) chance that none of 400 randomly selected people are trans.

You can tell Liz has steeped in British culture like an Earl Gray teabag by the way she uses the American spellings for humor and favor.

I think there’s a class element involved here as well. If you have enough money and status you get to live your life peaceably, either in the open (if the culture accepts it) or as a “confirmed bachelor” (if not). There’s a certain US Senator who is living proof of that.

Kevin is such a dipshit. Look, you can sell an image of yourself as a bold and fearless truth teller if you want, fine, whatever (though 99% of the time that means you’re just a garden variety asshole), but if you choose to take that on then you choose to take the baggage that goes with it. Assholes are usually not…

Thanks for this. I’m in no way connected to the industry but it just seems like being decent to those looking to break in shouldn’t be too much of a reach. And the idea that it should be worthwhile to encourage interested women to break into a male-dominated industry, and to help them navigate the obstacles there,…

Her outlook is very atomized: Here’s what YOU should do, how YOU should get a raise, etc. There’s no room for collective bargaining or unions, no effort to look at what WE should do or how WE should get a raise.

I’d like to congratulate Andrew Lack for joining Jeff Flake in this year’s induction class to the Aptronym Hall of Fame.

It’s really good to see pushback to that effect on”globalism.” I can see skepticism of the concept as it relates to wage-suppressing and environmentally hazardous trade agreements, but 1) this guy means globalism as basically diversity and 2) he’s not talking about strenuous opposition but violent hatred.

The road apple doesn’t fall far from the, um, someone complete that for me.

Her take on this always seems to be “we can’t call it a lie because we don’t know what he actually thinks,” but in order to say “he really believes this stuff” YOU HAVE TO PRESUME TO KNOW WHAT HE THINKS! QUIT BEING SUCH AN ASSHOLE MAGGIE!

I’m too lazy to look it up, but I remember seeing once that the MOR gentle rock mellowed-out-Laurel-Canyon members of Bread absolutely loathed each other and were constantly at each others’ throats. Even if this is a complete lie I choose to believe it because it is delightful, and incidentally I just realized how…

lol just replied to her with this as well: MC5 is punk for sure. Where do you file Motörhead though?
