  1. We did make that joke today. :—)
  2. Unfortunately I was unable to protest, although the fans at my softball game at Washington and Liberty HS in Arlington must have come from a protest because I saw some "Hands Off" posters. Now I ask you...is there a more Northern Virginia/Washington DC team sponsor than this?
  3. Why is this starter still in? Yikes for the White Sox
  4. Remember when he had no trade value?
  5. Also, those consumers have a recent memory of being killed in service of the one-party state.
  6. Listening to Sam Stein and Tim Miller yesterday. Stein was talking about how this kind of market crash and a recession/depression would break the fever dream. Tim Miller wasn't having it citing the case of a global pandemic made fundamentally worse by the RW media and the MAGAs and that had not sufficiently broken through evidenced by Jan 6 and response. I personally think Biden won because of the obviousness of the failed COVID response with regular people but the recovery went too well and people returned to their tribes and comfortable narratives aided and abetted by the oligarchs creating those narratives that suited them best. I think the roaring twenties were still the roaring twenties after October 1929 but things really got faccacta after Smoot Hawley. I think the roaring 2020s will still be the roaring 2020s until the real effects of the tax cuts to aid the billionaire class create a sucking chest wound to the social safety net occurs and that is felt. Might take 6-12 months. I don't think the environment where people are seeing life savings wiped out by golfing idiot and a drug addicts wielding chain saws is cutting all medical and scientific research funding is going help in marginal elections but the real change in perceptions has yet to occur.
  7. they chose the picture that captured his challenges.
  8. Benetti talking walkup songs. I would use Blue Oyster Cult's Godzilla. I have been trying to get my daughter to use that.
  9. appropriate image for Torkelson despite the K
  10. This is a different Torkelson. He just seems so much more dynamic and confident. Good thing I'm not gay...
  11. i am happy we got breakout from K Carpenter. Now lets get C. Keith rolling.
  12. Tell me that isn't an instant reminder of certain trade decisions that impact Detroit and metro area including across the river.
  13. Did the leopards eat your face?
  14. The Russell Brand story is really struggling to break through the fall of Civilization and death of hope.
  15. Scapegoat for not getting Alex Bregman in the fold?
  16. It would be great if we could reestablish manufacturing. To quote Valeria in the movie "Conan" when discussing invading Thulsa Doom's lair: the monomania of Trump and these crap advisors combined. They aren't particularly good at economics because they don't see economics through the filter of data and analytics but in terms of platitudes and loyalty.
  17. Poll: AOC leads Schumer in head-to-head New York primary matchup by double digits - POLITICO
  18. by this you mean the actual channel not the MLB app which appears to show these weird games with their local ads all off-season. If you want to know what the Dominican Republic's citizens ad market looks like, its very interesting...almost more interesting than the games.
  19. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein 🌌: "Funny how Black people knew about the civil rights violations at Tesla facilities but white buyers are forever innocently ignorant" — Bluesky If you got "trapped with a Tesla" you are an ignorant ****.
