Don’t you know how many days are in a week, bro?

I was only being slightly snarky, and I appreciate your response, because I have the same gut feeling that capitalism is just another tool. It’s one of those “it’s the worst economic system except for all the others” kinds of things (cf Churchill on democracy, right?). The problems of capitalism aren’t necessarily…

What do you think “late stage capitalism” is other than “how much can we make off of the lowest possible investment?”

But it’s still in the same vein as what Albert’s talking about--over a century of construction.

Missed ya over the weekend, Barry. This is a gem for the rot of most sports talk:

Never forget:

I dare you to tell Pat Riley he wasn’t the GM in Miami. I know everyone likes to say this, but LeBron is not the de facto coach/GM where ever he goes. The problem has been that only Riley and Spoelstra (mostly because of Riley’s backing) have really been “powerful enough” (within the context of the organization) to…

So by dint of not being pure nonsense, it’s now among the top 0.01%  of intellectually rigorous tweets, I guess. Weird world, man.

This is so much better an article than the tired, tired takes of “Virginia basketball is boring, except when it’s not.”

Oh my, you cruel bastard, you. I...I think I want that, too, now. That rage could fuel Albert’s writing for the next 6-8 years!

I don’t want to get divorced, and my wife isn’t moving to “places where you don’t melt into a puddle by mid July”, unfortunately. Not a fan of the climate, metaphorically or literally, but I’m stuck and it’s home and blah-blah-blah. You don’t get to judge me!

Peyote-Capote, I guess. The last two syllables rhyme, not the first one. Listen, all I care about is how cool Storm Duck is.

Crap. I conflated the business continuity “what happens if they get hit by a bus” metaphor with the “getting hit by a car” deadspin list meme. I was wrong, and I humbly repent.

Look at Mr. Not-in-the-Bible-belt-with-his-fourth-grade-health-class over here.

I’m so happy to see all this Storm Duck love. I’m a newcomer to the bandwagon, but I’m now all-in for Storm Duck.

And also such a better name than Truman Peyote, which I think is just a weak rhyming reference. Just appreciate the spondaic strength of Storm Duck. I’m a believer in Storm Duck.

I applied for a technical writer position and corrected the grammar of the posting. I did not get the position. In the bygone days, I would have said that an editor is responsible for that stuff; if the piece is good enough, then the editor should be taking care of that. Nowadays, I don’t know. Editors, and copy…

+1 being hit by a bus

Same thing I was thinking. Either the Dodgers on their own, or MLB, could say that, at the least, the next home game is empty. And the Dodgers need to think about what they can start doing proactively about their stadium situation. Also, bring relegation to American sports.
