Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

It’s really dismaying to see Olivia Nuzzi get any press coverage at all at this point. Have some fucking dignity, editors.

cage match. It’s the only way
Once two baseball players have both received 3 MVP awards, they should have to compete in a baseball skills decathlon to determine who is truly the best.

Judge is a great player, but Cal Raleigh had the best ever season by a catcher and should have been the MVP. Bad enough that the oligarch teams dominate the sport. They shouldn't geta leg up in post-season awards too.

This is correct. We only have 3-4 super productive hours a day and even that should be broken into 2 or 3 chunks
Indie game devs, it's okay if you only work on your game a few hours in a day. Most people are only actually productive for a few hours each day. Long hours are for show, not for getting anything done*.

When you consider the stuff coming out of the Epstein files, it’s absolutely incredible that the USA hasn’t already completely collapsed.
It definitely gives the impression that there are a lot of people who are in decision-making positions who do a lot of drugs.

Each Thanksgiving I cook a turkey. Occasionally it's good. Usually it's meh. This year I am doing 2 breasts and 2 legs. I don't want the whole turkey cuz:
a. Nobody eats the wings.
b. The breast dries out but the legs are still raw.
c. I DON'T WANT NINE POUNDS OF TURKEY ENTRAILS IN MY GARBAGE CAN

My favorite story like this is the online friend whose face blindness was limited to men with brown hair and beards.
Her: "Game of Thrones was just incomprehensible."
Her: "Game of Thrones was just incomprehensible."
I'm watching a movie from 1998.
I have moderate facial blindness.
I keep yelling at the TV, 'I know you from something but I don't know what.'

Senate Democrats should not have caved.
Americans understand that this was a Republican Shutdown, and that we were fighting to protect health care for millions of working families.
It was a righteous fight that we could have won, and it will continue.
