I'm torn on this because St. Louis absolutely gargles balls, but the NYC partisans are the once and future kings of "can dish it out, can't take it"

Any time public funds/tax incentives are part of a stadium deal, there should be a clause that allows for eminent domaining any team that does this

When the day comes that we are finally through All Of This, there’s a whole lot of people/orgs I never want to hear another word from, forever, and The Atlantic is real high on that particular list

I used to joke about β€œthe good Atlantic writers vs the bad ones”, but there are no good ones anymore

The wild part about TPB is that the movie is SO MUCH BETTER than the book. Like, the screenplay tightens it up while losing nothing

crime was higher when i lived in dc - and i worked in southeast (the β€œbad part”). never had a problem. dc is fine and people are afraid of their own shadows

and only a complete moron would think trump would or even could do anything to improve it

I could happily go about the rest of my life without hearing another word about either, but I am also a messy bitch who loves drama, soooooo

I think cat people pretty much all hate LLMs. Dog people can go either way. I love dogs, but I wouldn’t take that sort of fawning from a person.

...which brings up a whole different problem, specifically how many local news stations are owned by Sinclair, but they're at least more subtle about it than the Jesse Watters of the world

I am begging for the vast majority of bsky pundits to spend one (1) afternoon canvassing, it doesn't even matter what district. Nothing will make the scales fall from your eyes on what the median voter TRULY looks like, faster.

Surveys are even wilder, you will see the most incoherent combos ever

I tried to do a Renegade run in Mass Effect, made a new dude for it, gave him a super thuggy face, and named him Angus. That playthrough lasted less than half an hour, and a decade plus later, my wife still calls me Angus when I make some claim I'm obviously never going to follow through on

Good luck! It's super routine but you WILL need to take it easy after. Whatever you're picturing, think easier.

Also, if you metabolize lidocaine quickly, uh, make sure they know that. You're just going to want to trust me on that one

At this point I just think whoever it is, is a mole from the Sliwa campaign

I broke up with more than one woman because of it! I wasn’t even sure I wanted kids at that point but the visceral reactions I would see to kids just being kids told me everything I needed to know about them

I think it’s inverted; the over reliance on phones and the internet has followed the death of third spaces, especially for kids/teens. They aren’t allowed to be anywhere, or go anyplace on their own. What else are they supposed to do?

No way, I laughed. I almost replied with a HEYOOOO but thought that might be going too far

Obviously, not everyone needs to be a parent. And not every parent is great at managing their kids in public. But people who can’t coexist with children in a public space are the enemies of civilization. Like, if a kid being a kid in a restaurant ruins your day that badly, that’s on you, not the kid

An orange and white cat glares directly at the camera. It is not clear what he is annoyed about.

As much as I miss SOME parts of that phase, there are definitely parts of that phase I am 100% fine seeing in the rear view mirror

I spent a couple hours each night just walking around the house with him in the baby bjorn so he'd sleep. Got my steps in, at least.

The same phenomenon that made more than a few people vote for Trump II - because they wanted it to be 2019 again - is gonna make people do a lot of weird and frankly pointless shit trying to make it 2023 again

After the A's and Cleveland win back-to-back 2035/2036, MLB finally implements relegation so that neither happens again
