Also a distinct possibility, leading up to the next Collective Bargaining Agreement.

...which makes me wonder whether Clark was investigated by someone hired by owner(s).

i think this is dead on re: the first. Woke 2 needs to lean in heavy on "he a little confused but he got the spirit"

I believe the northeast quarter of this country loves you because you're kind, but not nice.

Nice people don't start flame-wars over Cyclops's heat vision.

But kind people support those who are being bullied.

NGL: feels like it.

I don't know, I think renaming Penn Station to "Fucking Racist Shit-Head Station" has a certain NYC ring to it.

"Be right back; gotta go take a Trump Dump."

Man, the Epstein files have really put a crimp on the president's "Trump Youth" plans.

Not-quite-former libertarian and neurodivergent here. Think of them like an autistic rules-lawyer, who absolutely opposes racist policies as nonsensical overreach, but does not see past policies whose _effects_ are racist. "Unintended consequences", "negligence", and "side-effects" are invisible.

Engineer here. "You" mess up a door handle by having some "genius" in a higher hierarchical position say, "You know, having the door handle stick out increases aerodynamic drag. Make them flush with the door."

Pointing out the obvious problems won't stop them.

Listen to the story that shaped a generation. Decades after starring in Stand By Me, the film adaptation of THE BODY, Wil Wheaton lends his voice to an all new recording of the audiobook. Pre-order your copy and start listening March 24, 2026.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

I was seriously considering the acting profession when I was a teen (and making major life decisions), until I found out that the _employment_ rate among actors was around 3%.

(That's at any given time; to be an actor for this survey, you had to have had a role within the last three years.)

So true. I find it disrespectful to the animal who gave its life for your dinner to turn their very body into inedible shoe-leather.

That's what the hide was for.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.

And your words do sound especially entitled.

Two blonde women, one with a highlighted blue smudge on her ear, apparently enjoying their time in a large, crowded sporting event. The headline reads, "Americans Over 65 Are Ditching Hearing Aids for This New Device". Both women appear to be in their late 20s.

Screw the device; I want to know how this woman over 65 looks so young.

The problem of professional music recordings including that noise which is akin to two chalk slates mating.

In other news, they say that people with ADHD can experience heightened levels of misophonia.

If you think acoustic-guitar string-scraping makes the music sound "real" and "authentic", you're part of the problem.
