I can't remember who posted it originally but Shield Of The Americas absolutely sounds like some Latin American costumed superhero that Homelander tears in half fourteen seconds into the next season of The Boys.

I liked when the machine noticed "something suspicious" around the waistband of my trousers and triggered the extra patdown. It was just sweat. I'd been walking around Chicago on a hot day.

Most of the people I know who complain about taxes don't even know their actual effective tax rate. They just like to complain.

Some real Bari Weiss vibes on that one.

This is much bleaker than @jvl.bsky.social's observations about boat sales and record-setting travel.

I do! I've had a complicated relationship with Canisius since I arrived there as a freshman thirty years ago.

His brain stopped absorbing new information in the 1980s. That's why he's obsessed with stuff like Time Magazine and Venezuela nationalizing the assets of oil companies.

That's why they all want the Ten Commandments posted in schools and not the Beatitudes.

There are still people who think it's possible to make Mitch McConnell feel shame.

I'm so sorry to my Canadian friends, I just can't keep New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia straight in my head.

I'll never forget calling Apple for support on an XServe that was barely a year old - I needed a power supply to replace one that had failed. They suggested checking eBay.

Tom Nichols is an excellent source of analysis for anything that's not food-related.

Thinking that a kidnapping raid on Venezuela was proof that Iran would be a cakewalk is like doing windmill dunks on a Li'l Tykes plastic hoop and then declaring for the NBA draft.

One of the biggest lessons we learned during COVID was that in times of financial crisis, the most effective thing to do is give people money and trust them to spend it appropriately. Don't have an insanely overregulated technocratic solution (Democrats) or tell them it's their own fault (Repubs).

Everyone's dunking on this fool, and rightfully so, but it's worth remembering that this widespread belief that poverty exists because people are unable to manage money effectively undergirds a lot of government policy. Why do you think programs like SNAP and WIC have so many purchase restrictions?

Not just little kids, I thought I was going to need a crowbar and blasting caps to get my teenagers out of bed for school on Monday morning.

Is it an updated version of the old Mac shooter Marathon? I don't really follow video games but I remember playing that one back in the day.

Also made a lot of structural changes that moved power in the House out of the committees to the Speaker and other leadership. He doesn't get nearly enough opprobrium for being an arsonist.

He ran on an explicit "America sucks and is terrible" campaign message, and self-described patriots lapped it up. Truly incredible.

Met some North Dakota hockey fans when they were in Buffalo playing Canisius, they went out for beers the night before and were legitimately shocked at the amount of booze an average Buffalonian would throw back.

I never had a Geocities page, but I absolutely had a video game review site on Angelfire in the late 1990s. Blue text on a black background, as was the fashion at the time.

He's a Phi Beta Kappa lawyer who studied at Vanderbilt, UVA, and Oxford. His whole cornpone cosplay routine is an act.

He's more of a disappointment than fools like Blackburn and Tuberville because he absolutely knows better.
