I'm sure there are some anti-semetic people at the rallies (and anywhere else people gather), but these protests are against the Israeli gov't, not jewish people. Otherwise, there are a whole lot of anti-semetic jewish people both there and living around me and in Isarel, etc, etc. Framing it as an...

Yeah, agreed. What bugs me the most about VAR is that when you slow down footage to a frame by frame viewing, EVERYTHING* looks like a serious foul/infraction. I don't mind freeze framing offsides and handballs, but fouls should mostly be viewed in real time mode. Agree with all of this. I was thin...

There’s going to be a Kent State/Jackson State tragedy again soon, and the shitbags is going to somehow blame wokeism for it. They definitely won't be upset about it.

That's a red. ETA - That's not what you're taught to do. You're taught to bring that knee up to protect you from being run into. You're not taught to kick out like that... For this very reason. When you bring you knee up, you can "legally" deck someone that is running into you. But that g...

That’s not the accounts I am hearing/reading. There are bad actors on both sides but a lot of what I see is actually students on both sides advocating for peace. Honestly I’d say don’t listen to anyone older than you on this issue. The kids have damn near always been right. Yeah, I ignored my mothe...

They gave TikTok 9 months instead of 6 to be transferred. So surprise, surprise. It won't mess with the election. But yes, the move is massively tone deaf and partially hypocritical since there's been outreach to influencers to get folks to vote. Not to mention Biden recently created a TikTok accou...

So, if I understand this correctly, the TikTok bill going through Congress right now is designed to force them to transfer ownership to an American entity. I understand that the Chinese say that is not going to happen. This issue scares the hell out of me, because if access to TikTok ends up gettin...

Went on a tour of the largest handmade chocolate factory in the US a few weeks ago (it's here in Denver) it was ok, their best confections weren't made in-house (the red chile chocolate truffle had my vote.)

solo all weekend, seems a good time to break into this at some point today, probably complimenting some Scotch. Don't judge me.

No judgement, maybe a hint of jealousy.

I’m going to see a friendly between Chelsea and Wrexham this summer, and I fully expect it will feature mostly youngsters and backups. So, there’s that.

Plus, Woody Johnson is a huge Trumpy so shit like that probably gets him rock hard. Umm, Woody is the heir to the Johnson & Johnson company, so I don't think he is a big fan of vaccine conspiracy theory talk. While he did enough for Trump to get the Ambassador to the UK gig, I'm sure he donated...

That'd be the best choices, but I can't imagine either of them doing it. They both have kids.

That was a very weird skit, which I kind of liked. They've been doing a lot of stuff with former cast members. Which is nice, but also feels like a bit of slap in the face to the existing cast.

Incredibly awkward moment with a mid-20s bartender this weekend. Went up to order w/ my oldest who got a coke with grenadine. Bartender: "You know that has a name? Its like Roger something I think. The other place I work has it by name in the system." Me: [googles] "Huh. Roy Rogers.&...

Issue resolved. Kelli sent a nice email asking if there was a reason behind it. He was extremely apologetic saying it was just an oversight and that he loves Asher and having her on the team.

I'm going to have to watch the full episode, but the cold open from last night calls back to the same skit from 8 years ago where he couldn't hold it together at all, so he might be hamming it up.
