I doubt I will ever run for Congress, but if I do I will champion the hell out of banning drug commercials.

Explaining the biathalon to my kids is fun.
Questions they asked.
"Why are they shooting things?"
"How long does this go?"
"What are they shooting?"
"I see 6, where's 7?"

Maybe it's losing my wife. Maybe its getting older. Maybe it's two herniated discs in my back
Either way... I'm managed to not replying to ignorant people on the internet. That's a win.

Random memory triggered. HS ex called me a few months after we broke up. Asked if I left a message on her parents answering machine blasting Hurts So Good. Said I had not and told her not to flatter herself.
After hanging up I was pissed I hadnt done it

A car just went by my house absolutely BLARING "Hurts so Good" by John Cougar Mellencamp. Nothing wrong with that necessarily, but it was at a volume which suggested someone saying "FUCK YEAH, THAT'S MY JAM" and I've honestly never met such a person.

What's crazy to me (beyond her) is she's READING these bullets. This is what she prepared to do today.
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

I am very much looking forward to the misuse of spring training statcast data for fantasy purposes
Last year, a lot of the games on Baseball Savant said "no Statcast," as a lot of the spring parks weren't available.
This year ... well, fun that you don't see that label baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?dat...

I feel terrible, genuinely, but this being the top story on CNN and other news sites is so mind boggling to me.
This Nancy Guthrie story is a 90s news story happening in the middle of the downfall of the Republic. Like if OJ was happening during Vietnam.

Im not a huge fan of generational discussions as they are so vague and to large a sample to lump together. But Tim asks the right question here. It isnt about the KIDS in any one generation... its about the choices there parents made and why.
i think the better question is what happened to Gen X that we had total freedom as children but then refuse to grant that same freedom to our own children
Absolute truth. We’d drop our books and disappear into the cornfield, or the pine forest, or the hardwood jungle in the creek bottom. Total HUCK FINN wild roaming savages.

Think we need to go the step further and acknowledge the 'pornography' claim was because there was about a second of two male dancers that made these guys brain melt.

I work at a French based company. I've watched people from around the globe speak English without issue and then apologize if 'their diction' wasn't good enough. Meanwhile, I barely speak English well enough to get by, let alone another language.
As good an opportunity as I'll ever have to post this video of Nate McLouth (born and raised in Muskegon, Michigan) showcasing some of the best Dominican Spanish you will ever hear in your life.

I just realized media companies are being run like sports franchises. Billionaires cutting costs at every turn and ever media outlet talks "troubled" and "small market" as if it was their own salary that had to keep them viable.
