Some folks wondered how it could be worse than Harris. Now we're finding out.

Go Bills!

Tony Romo is a horrible color guy and will never get better.

I wonder what a game would look like if the refs didn’t call breathing on Patrick Mahomes a penalty?

One thing I miss about working in a newsroom: Being in the same place to share jokes and stories with my colleagues face-to-face because I think I'd really like a lot of them in person.

One thing I don't miss: Working face-to-face with some of them because I'm pretty sure I'd think some are twats.

Seeing the replies to this post on Twitter and over here is a telling microcosm of what that site has become lately.

OU watching the Big 12 this season thinking, “Damn, we could win that damn conference.”

That's so true lol. There was a time I was trying to read everything Marvel, way before I had a job and kids and comics started costing $4-5 each. But even then, my bank account did not like it lol.

I mean, I get that, but they've done storylines around people not trusting superheroes (Civil War the biggest), and folks HAVE assumed Spidey and others were mutants at times. I know it's your opinion, but shouldn't opinions be grounded in what's in the comics? Most of what you said isn't there is.

everyone, usually pretty publicly, and they shout "MUTANT DETECTED" at any mutant, so any hero they haven't shouted that at can be pretty safely assumed not to be a mutant. Also, some of what you describe does exist, but more as a general hate/distrust of everyone with powers.

puts them in the good graces of the public (Spider-Man), have associations with teams like the Avengers, which are seen as more trusted because of folks like Iron Man and Captain America, or have a clear source for their powers (magic, technology, etc.). And Sentinels have fought just about ...

What you either haven't noticed or ignored was that the mutants who generally get the hate are the ones who have identified as such or who have visible mutations. And some heroes' origin stories are well known (Capt. America, Fantastic Four). For others, they could either have a history that ...

Try it this way. "If there was truly prejudice against black people, it would be held against all black people. Beyonce and Denzel Washington wouldn't be celebs, all that."

Prejudice rationalizes its inconsistencies, even when they aren't rational.

On top is a picture of a skeleton wearing a brown robe like a monk. The skeleton is sitting at a decrepit desk with books and a monitor on it, with more shelves in the background, all moldy. Below it is the following text: For the last time: Abyss = for staring into Void = for screaming into Please stop screaming into the abyss, we are not insured for that

Your public service reminder:

Wait, hold up: Someone in Hollywood greenlit a Christmas movie with a $250 million budget? Someone thought that was a good idea and would make money just because of the Rock? Really?

Another barn burner. Glad Buffalo came out on top today. Hopefully we get to see these teams play again for the AFC title in January. Go Bills.

That’s to amend the Constitution. He can change a law with simple majorities in each house of Congress.

Well, found WeRateDogs over here so don’t know if I’ll need to add anyone else at this point to be honest.

The only thing either fighter got out of that match was a big paycheck. Tyson comes out looking as old as we were afraid he would, and Paul still has no wins against legit boxers of this era. And Netflix now has NFL and WWE fans scared they can’t stream anything without massive buffering.

It's officially the holiday season in Oklahoma when Braum's brings out the egg nog.

Wouldn't Africa be part of that too? If you loop around the Mediterranean Sea through the Middle East, you can go from Europe to Africa, and the Strait of Gibralter isn't even 8 miles wide. The Mississippi River is wider than that in parts.

Absolutely love this story.

Sign the Petition Award John Williams the Presidential Medal of Freedom

Know what I haven’t done over here yet? Talked about how awesome John Williams is!

I know he’s got a ton of awards, but the legend deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom too. Sign my petition if you agree. Just trying to get him his due. #StarWars #composer #harrypotter chng.it/kymzpYCM

If you see this, post your favorite character smiling.

Spending more time over here than on the Evil App. Had done a good job curating my feed for the most part, but lots of folks I like are moving over here.

Oklahoma just isn’t playing as physically tough as they did against Texas. They’re getting shoved around in the line, not holding into blocks. Whether it’s their play or UCF, that’s I’m gonna cost them the game.
