We're moving backwards here in Allegheny County (Pittsburgh). Bars are ordered closed and restaurants cannot serve alcohol on site.

Most people around here are wearing masks. Last weekend at Lowe's, the only people I saw not wearing them were younger (20s) people. Was in Keyser, WV the weekend of ...

In a VA Republican primary in VA the Republican who officiated a gay wedding of two of his staffers lost to the former athletics department administrator from Liberty U. It was a drive up primary in Lynchburg for a district that runs from Northern VA to NC.

The losing Republican played the ...

Lots of good blast from the past names in this thread. I was an infrequent poster, but daily lurker years ago. Trying to get back into the habit.

They essentially hazed the kid to death. Just because it happened under the banner of the football team doesn't make it OK. As someone up-thread said, it's not like he had some acute issue, they saw the kid and saw he was struggling.

They should fire Durkin and whomever else was involved and limp ...

Did anyone see Pruitt's resignation letter? Makes me want to vomit the way these morons kiss Trump's ass.

Mr. President, it has been an honor to serve you in the Cabinet as Administrator of the EPA. Truly, your confidence in me has blessed me personally and enabled me to advance your agenda beyond ...

Really doesn't sound good.

Gerry Dulac - another long time Pittsburgh writer said that Colbert is on the sidelines for just about every away game. I'm hopeful that isn't just wishful thinking. Looked horrible for Shazier.

None of you Stony Brook pussies want any of this Towson Tiger wrath.

No chirping at vanderwagon a few week ago?

Had I only known... I'm still very cautiously optimistic about Maryland. I can't root against Towson though, I live close enough to hear the band play at the stadium on game days ...

I could have sworn that the body on the front of the ship at the end was Ellaria and the one hanging was the third Sand Snake. The recaps I've read today don't mention that. Am I wrong?

It was the two who were killed in the battle. Ellaria and the other are prisoners, with Yara.

Ok. That makes ...

Any of the Baltimore crew been to Waverly Brewing? My wife and I went last night. Had the 83 North IPA then a flight of four beers. While the beers were good, I wasn't overly impressed. Seemed to not have a lot of flavor. Wondering if anyone else has been there and what their thoughts were. Cool tap ...

We got a new fridge on Friday and moved the old one to the basement to be used as a beer/overflow fridge. As soon as it was filled, the wife and I decided to start drinking it empty again.

Had a growler of DC Brau's On the Wings of Armageddon that was fantastic. This is how the DC Brau site ...

Maddening to me is seeing somewhere that he's considering Sara Palin for Interior Secretary. Ready for drill baby drill in all of the National Parks?

Didn't even make that connection. Funny.

Didn't sleep great, but better than I otherwise would have since I was exhausted from packing up our house. Moving today. Glad it kept my mind otherwise occupied to some extent.

This is terrible. No matter what so many people voted for a reality tv star who is just a horrible person based on everything that's out there. I'm flabbergasted

Not to go all republican on you, but do a lot of people really think asking for an ID is THAT big of a burden, considering the potential ability to abuse the rule? I don't recall ever voting without my ID here in Kentucky and I also don't recall anyone ever throwing a fit about not having one.

I can if I have to, but I wouldn't call myself accomplished. Never had to on a regular basis outside of a month when my wife and I switched cars after our first kid was born. I had a 4 door automatic Civic and she had a 2 door manual Civic. She wanted to have 4 doors while she was on maternity leave ...

Also, Os trying to come off the mat, led by Ubaldo Jiminez. Because, of course.

I treat his good outings like players treat no hitters in the dugout. I don't talk about how well he's pitching and I try not to even think about how well he's pitching.

In 5 September starts he's sporting a 0.83 ...

As far as Maryland breweries:

I'm a big fan of Union Craft Brewing. I love the Duckpin pale ale and Double Duckpin double IPA. Everything I've had here has been good with the exception of the Old Pro, a sour-gose style, which just isn't my thing.

Flying Dog The Truth is an Imperial Double that is ...

Finished Drew Magary's "The Postmortal" in a couple days after getting it from the library. I enjoyed it, but it felt like something was missing that I couldn't put my finger on. Still can't.

Appy St. sure shot themselves in the foot on that one. It amazes me how piss poor teams are with clock management...it's like they don't even practice.

I assume you're talking about the end of regulation. I turned the game on right after Tennessee scored to tie it and was rooting for the upset ...

I'm just catching up on this, thanks Bengal for posting the links.

To say the system can't identify people is being intentionally dumb. Maybe it can't, but as it said in the Sun article, they can use the hundreds of ground based cameras to identify that person instantly if they want to.

I watched a little bit online Saturday night and the commercials would just randomly pop up in the middle of the event - women's weightlifting. I don't think I missed anything though, it would come back to where it left off as far as I could tell. Still a little odd.

I just read this:

This is pretty chilling. And I fear, likely accurate.
Excellent piece. Best analysis of the Trump phenomenon that I've read.

I think the biggest reason why it is less likely to happen here is the diversity of the voters of the US versus the countries the author cites. A diversity that continues ...

During the battle scene I kept wondering if that was what medieval battles - especially the cavalry charges - actually looked like? Men and horses just bashing into each other? That was insane. Very well done.

Yeah, we damn near missed a goal by Zardes

Zardes misses goals by Zardes all the time, so it's only fair that we miss some, too.

This thread was the first thing I though of when I saw this on Deadspin this morning.

Irony ruling? There was a Goose Island ad on that page below the story.

For me it would come down to either Flying Dog's The Truth or Union Craft Brewing's Double Duckpin. Keeping it local, it seems.

I'd be pretty happy with either, but have to go with the Double Duckpin.

I was hopeful that Ramsay had finally gotten his. I loved how it was sort of ambiguous who stabbed who for a second. Should have known better.

Breakfast for dinner. One of my favorites. Waffles, pancakes, cereal, whatever. May depend on how old your kids are. Mine are 8 and 3 and get excited when I say we're having breakfast for dinner.

I was going to say pizza too, but I'd order it instead of making it myself.

Having it at Seattle Center would be pretty cool, though.

Anyways, thanks for that explanation.

The old arena is at Seattle Center, correct? My guess is that they're trying to integrate it more with downtown by putting it near the other stadiums.
