I think this has more to do with the increased acceptance of conspiracy media than people generally acknowledge. It was easy to dismiss double-spaced typewritten documents with spelling errors and cross-outs being held together with a staple in the corner. But as you say, everyone looks like ****ing CNN now.

Man, I've lost so many IQ points reading the last couple of pages.

Better yet, she may even claim First Amendment violation, which would be super rich coming from a sitting congressman whose very job description requires deep understanding of the Constitution.

The operative word is “anymore”.

lol “nobody wants to work anymore”. That is, he’s hitting on many of the things I railed about ten or so years ago on MTS.

It took me multiple tries to stick with it, because I don’t love unremittingly mean people with no redeeming qualities, but once I got past the characters themselves and focused on the jokes, I liked it a lot better.

We don’t know yet that Munch won’t end up being supernatural, but I do agree with you that it hasn’t become a factor with two episodes left, and for that, so far, I’m glad. Speaking of supernatural in TV or movies, the Crown: I’m on episode 6/4, after the crash in the Paris tunnel, and while both the Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth and Mohamed Al-Fayed were alone ruminating about the recently-deceased, each had what looked like beyond-the-grave visits from the ghosts of Diana and Dodi, respectively. I never did like this trope in the first place because I think it’s lazy writing, although depending on the tone of the show or movie, I’ll allow some hallucination if it’s one-and-done, and if it’s clear by whatever the “dialogue” is that it’s being fabricated in their heads. Not my favorite thing, but meh … okay … However, in this case, each of the apparitions said something that only the deceased characters could have known or thought, suggesting they were actual visits from ghosts and not hallucinations, which, again, as writing goes, I regard to be a super lazy crutch. I understand the supernatural has been quite in for some time in Hollywood productions, but that doesn’t mean it’s always appropriate in every circumstance it’s used. It’s one thing to have the supernatural creeping into a fictional piece like Fargo, and I don’t love even that. But when they impose it on a scene from what’s supposed to be actual history, that is a bridge so far for me that I’m sorely tempted to just bail on whatever it is I’m watching. If either of them show up again to anyone else before the end, like Diana to William and/or Harry, I might just do that.

JL Partners seems to me like the kind of outfit that would simply make things up, or at least cook the books, to reach the conclusion they and their constituents want to put across. Releasing poll results without internals does nothing to dissuade from that idea. Citing that as proof of concept makes it seem like anything after that is coming out of your ear. Eric.

That last one seems exactly like what a drag queen would say. 😉

And I am avoiding Napoleon for the same reason: I had hoped it would be about his career.

No way it was a setup to get media attention, right?

lol! I was just thinking about this some and coming back to say no way could it be Harold Castro because he couldn’t have had that kind of separation between his on base and batting average.

My Aunt Doris would lip-kiss us kids and we’d have to wipe her voluminous lipstick off of us. She also smelled like old people. Ewww …

It’s gotta be someone who was talked up as a top prospect who ultimately exposed at the major leagues but we still gave too many at bats to, like Jacoby Jones or Don Kelly or Harold Castro, someone like that.

Yes, but there’s no link to the internals, which reputable poll companies make available, so you are supposed to take Heartland’s word for all of it. Do you?

The calls on the Republican line on Washington Journal are all about how people are going to be forced by Democrat fascists to buy electric vehicles that cost $62,000 a year.

It’s hard to have a threesome with teenagers when you’re busy punching them in the face.

Not only is there zero link to the internals on that Heartland “poll”, the only links they do provide on that story at their website is to coverage of their purported results by right-wing media firebreathers. Of course, their target audience for the story not only doesn’t care about things like internals, they would almost certainly lambast anyone who mentions it as fascists and commies.

Maybe we should build a time machine and go back to January 2018 and sign J. D. Martinez. https://www.mlb.com/news/comerica-park-may-offer-hitters-big-advantage-c265913828

I don't know, Deuce strikes me as more of an Old Crow Bourbon guy.

It's difficult to get big boppers interested in coming to (and staying with) your team when you play in what's practically the hardest home run park in the majors.

My brother was having a hairy cow in the moment that Dan Campbell kept going to for two, but I was telling him hey, I think it’s great, and so what if we fail because we already have a home playoff game and our destiny will be in our own hands anyway. Little did I realize … 😏

Funny you should mention, because timing: Just as this was a uniquely Lions thing to happen to us during the game, it would also be uniquely Lions that the aftermath is Brad Allen gets Donaghyed and the Lions still won’t be able to do **** about this game.

So even if Allen made an honest mistake here and saw Decker line up as eligible even though he thought it was Skipper reporting, what was Allen supposed to do when he saw the “faulty” lining up?
