And then we need to give youth sports officials the power of arrest! (typed by a man who manages a youth sports league)

Leduff seems like James Yoder.

I think the compulsion should come from norms. Those behaviors that are community and societal vs. the naked selfishness of Trump whose brand is gratification via the various vices he promotes.

The value of having "elites" who are invested in the well-being of the nation and who want to be seen as invested -- can't be underestimated. Peter Meijer may be a son-of-a-bitch Republican rascal to many of you, but he actually did go into the military while nary a single Trump or Kushner has. During WWII, the British Royal families and other upper class twits as well as the Bush, Roosevelt and other US grand families had to perform military service.

I was thinking of your neck of the woods

more on this thing

i agree that peasant and more backwards culture tends to have low attitudes toward animals. It’s still common among native americans to eliminate bothersome pets by taking hammers to their skulls.

Awesome?

I always wondered that about Ken Burns. He grew up in Ann Arbor and came away dissing Detroit history that much. I wonder if the lad got thumped down in the city by some rowdy hard hats.

This is probably just ukrainian propaganda but.... Putin does act like an old man in a hurry, put another more clinical way is called "terminal urgency"

That's amazing! Love that

I'll say both suck. Favre obviously got away with a lot because he's whiter than Vick. Vick should have been shunned and I still shun him despite whatever happy story rehabilitation that has happened.

Lets hope we get back to a point where normal people see this picture and say...that guy is probably a Nazi

Or how much do you have to bribe Rob Manfred to allow your guy to juice and play with a juiced ball

Will this get us 4k broadcasts?

These were Federal crimes.

I needed this good news today

Also, Kim Jong Un is planning his own. Every tin-pot, despot is dreaming of ways they can put their people out for their god kings.

The level of stank that will be on him will prevent polite society from attending.

Can you even imagine how envious that guy must be? And to think he'll never have this. The institutions do not exist for this to be his funeral. Who would stand vigil? His kids? Maybe the strap hangers would say they would but none of them will.

Watching the funeral. This is the absolute culmination of tens of thousands of years of ceremony from the cave drawings and monoliths to the most elaborate possible veneration. I would go out with the Clash's Death or Glory and smashed Boons Farms bottles against the garage wall, but this was amazing to watch.

This is not something we really should do anything about but it is relevant to the ongoing situation. The abject weakness of Russian forces after this war could create the conditions for change. Not all those changes will be positive.
