I appreciate Ted Cruz going to Cancun so that people can dunk on him without having to be dicks about innocent people suffering. He is truly a humanitarian.

Everything was way more expensive back then. Remember my " historically rich " game? I still play it, almost unconsciously/automatically, anytime I read any well-done, well-detailed piece of historical fiction or non-fiction. I've been trying to make a modern price comparison of sorts -- I've been ...

I just drove by a giant gold ox. I think I passed out and ended up in the Bible

The most surprising thing is that Trump paid his SAG dues while he was president.

Why are states loosening restrictions right before the Super Bowl? Even if you think loosening restrictions is the right thing, wait until after the super spreader event. Like here, before CNY, they adjusted the 8 houseguests at a time rule to 8 houseguests per day, to prevent the possibility of mas...

What is Trump even doing these days? With the caveat that I'm not the most informed person, it seems like after he got booted from Twitter he dropped off the face of the earth. He has set up the "Office of the Former President". Also his lawyers are bailing on him setting up the hope for him to rep...

Episode 4 really turned up the intrigue of Wandavision and has given me some high hopes for the finish.

What do you have against space lasers?

It’s kinda gilding the lily.

The fact that the White House is getting more questions about GME than the COVID vaccine show that the true partisan bias of the media is ‘oooh, shiny’.

Isn’t Elon’s whole fucking business selling cars that he doesn’t own? Tesla is basically a car futures company.

And all this happened pretty at the same time that Bitcoin is surging, which made buying up GPUs to do Bitcoin mining profitable again I am skeptical of this claim. Mining BtC with stacks of GPUs in your basement can't compete with the warehouses of dedicated mining modules. The average time betwee...

At press time, Schilling slammed the Boston Red Sox, his former team, for “caving to the woke mob” when they became the last franchise to integrate in 1959.

We should be glad it’s just some dick waving instead of bombs.

Contracted public 'services' are no better or worse than the same services performed by government employees. The incentives, including perverse incentives, differ some and overlap some but in the grand scheme of what's wrong with the criminal justice system it's trivial and, as noted above, a nod ...

Hey, if it makes an idiot babble, maybe it has promise. Haven't followed the whole discussion obviously, but I agree with you about private prisons needing to go. "Orange is the New Black" illustrated it pretty well... - a for-profit industry has motives that go against the public interest of corre...

If you think it's bad that the government can do things/make decisions, the filibuster is nice as another way of the government failing to do things or make decisions. If you think it's important for the government to be able to act, then the filibuster is a giant middle finger with no real princip...

I just watched 4 years of a senate that had to include their cross party brethren in most matters for fear of organized filibusters of important bills. Earmarks are gone and I don't see how the back room deals end just because there is no filibuster. The only thing that passed, aside from a basical...

The Bucs were an ideal team for Brady to go to weapons wise and the Pats were a hot mess close to the brink. Belichick did take a Matt Cassel led team to 11-5 (though they missed the playoffs)

It's gonna be crazy when they own a DTC pillow company.

And Congress' inability to get bills through puts pressure on the Executive branch to rule by presidential and regulatory fiat, rendering Congress even less relevant. This. It not a coincidence that the imperial presidency accelerated at the same time that routine filibusters did. The other thing i...

Cruz is up in 2024

Am I the only one that was surprised that Larry King was ‘only’ 87?

Wait you’re telling me that a startup is completely ignorant of employment law and is fucking around and may later find out?

I’m shocked

I don’t think his Pence joke pissed off lefties. If anything, it makes Shem’s point.
