The only silver lining of this week is no more ads, but, yeah, these fuckers keep texting me.

And I'm gonna ruin Enoch's spoiler and just say it out loud. Fuck the fuck off.

I just delete everything without reading anything, but I really want to unplug/avoid it and you are fucking up my mojo.

The main difference between Richmond and Hartford is that I’ve heard people say good things about Richmond. :D That's kind of the answer I expected. Like, I've spent a few nights in St. Louis over the last 4 or 5 years and I don't feel like I'm qualified to give a real answer, but... Downtown seeme...

Nonlinear FC

Is Hartford the rough equivalent of Richmond? As in, folks either don't think about it or have a negative view of it, but when you actually go there and dig around it's a pretty cool place? I stayed overnight in downtown Hartford on the way up to Boston a few years back and was not impressed. But I ...

I played the shit out of their self-titled album in '86. Also enjoyed Cracker.

Unless you're just saying he sucks at life. Which... that's mean.

As a goalie that let in a howler in a pretty high-profile high school game... While he may have worse days coming his way, that goal will stick with him for life.

Put it in the bank.

Nonlinear FC

Yep. Nightmares for life.

Definitely going out of town this weekend to unwind and unplug... Much easier to do that when not focused on chores and just the normal routine of things.

My only experience with lamb is the old school version that is served with, what was it... mint jam or something disgusting like that.

I hated it and I've never really tried it as an adult.

Are the lollipops gamey? That was what grossed me out as a kid.

It hasn’t rained around here since the end of September. We saw two separate brush fires along highways the last couple of days, one in the nowhereland between NYC and Yonkers and the other in CT. Yeah, we're back to drought watch here in the DMV. I put down grass seed three weeks ago and it has ra...

We have a tour of UConn planned for Monday, and figured we'd take advantage of a long weekend and try to spend Sunday doing something in CT and stay over for the morning tour. After doing some digging, there is a whole bunch of nothing in CT! What a lame-ass state. Biggest tourist attraction is the...

People bringing "food/stuff from home" is how we get invasive species of plants and wildlife and the like.

I know you know this, I'm just saying something because I'm cranky as fuck.

Plus hockey.

My Facebook is so clean, it doesn't matter... I'm just not on there much anymore. Never got into Twitter so that's very easy to avoid. We were already planning on getting out of town this weekend, this just ensures that we motivate to do that. Shiv is texting positive thoughts from Denver, which tak...

I'm gutted. Sitting here at work barely able to type.

Not sure what to even say to my newly out trans daughter. Denver feels relatively progressive, but validating all this hate is just disgusting on such a deep level.

Not enough gummies in the world.

Well, in another one of those anecdotal signs... The best man in my wedding is a lifelong Republican. Like, went to school down in South Carolina and fit right in with the good ole boys down there type of guy. Despite that, he is one of the most generous and loyal friend in the world. And I've been ...

Our friends across the street have a kid attending UM. She registered to vote in Ann Arbor—smart move! Her vote here, other than in a potentially close Senate race, would be kind of wasted.

So, I have Election Day off every cycle, which is both a blessing and a curse. I'd welcome the distraction. My wife took the day off and she's WAAAAAAY more stressed out than I am, so that's not great. We've been cleaning the house all morning but I'm going to take her somewhere with booze so we can...

side-note: i work in a small section of the federal govt and we've been getting daily emails with the subject: "Managing Stress and Anxiety During Election Season" Yeah, my daughter works for FERC, (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) in Washington DC, which is one of the agencies Trump...

MI beat the brakes off of a not good but not terrible (last year) Cleveland ST team.

They play Wake on Sunday which should be a better barometer of how good this team could be.

And kind of to the point, the woman that GK is referencing in Colorado is sitting in jail right now.

Nonlinear FC

I mean... Yeah.

Nonlinear FC

Where I work, we have to ask the exact same questions of each candidate. Can't follow up, can only re-read the question. But, yeah, part of the questions should get at showing your expertise in your field. Part of them should be situational (like GK said). And if the role has management responsibili...

..there will be issues on the streets, people are going to die and buildings are going to burn. No there won't. People have been predicting this every election cycle since 2018, including massive voter intimidation and it just doesn't happen. These folks are a lot of talk. Yes, they were all duped ...

Is school out of session today?

I think our county must've done a teacher training day or something, because I see kids out and about.

It's okay to put your phone down and ignore things at some point tomorrow evening. Watch a show on a streaming service, a movie, something else. My wife and I did in four years ago. It can be done. I find this to be very easy to do. Check back in at the top of the hour to see if there's anything de...

I think you guys are probably right, but I also think there's an aspect of the bookies not buying Penn State baked into last week's line. I haven't seen a PSU offense that seems capable of beating a top 15 team in a very long time. Really goes back to the Hackenberg/McSorely/Barkley years. Since the...

I have no idea, but when I was first getting into music, I was part of two groups:

Ozzy Osborne, J Giels, ACDC etc.

Whoudini, Run DMC, Eric B, etc.

There's literally no telling.

It’s just such a dumb hill to die on. Games have been kicking off at noon for more than a hundred years. Grow up. I mean, when Michigan played Texas I think it was the "biggest game of the year" at that point. That was a noon kickoff and I don't remember hearing anyone bitching about that...

As with all the swing states, really depends on where you are driving. Head out to the suburbs, where I was last weekend and it's 9-1 Harris signs over Trump signs.

I was gonna say, I'll give the kid from Jersey a pass, but I'm pretty sure they make you watch that movie in school in Texas.

I know a bunch of lifelong Republicans and most of them are not voting for Trump. A lot of them understand that he's completely taken over the party and it's now "unrecognizable." I put that in quotes because we all know the deal. The thing about most upper middle-class Republicans is that...

Well played, Turd.

And you guys need to make some time for that movie. It's a goofy, highly unrealistic and highly entertaining movie.
