The Swamp

On twitter, they were really pulling for Biden over the more progressive candidates, and I'm thinking they have given up on the GOP and will work to make Dems more conservative, which would be quite the battle. Or its what leads to a prominent 3rd party? Ideally, you get Charlie Baker, Mitt Romney ...

It's a blessing in the short term, but strategy in the long term. What'll be interesting on their end is 2024. Who do they endorse then? If Biden wins and goes 1 term and throws his weight behind VP/younger Democrat does that person get endorsed this full throatedly or will it be who the Republican...

Trump is going all in on his "joke" to reduce cases by reducing testing.

I'd say it was Achtung Baby! I was 17 when it came out, and I'm guessing age is important because that is the first album I was obsessive about, leading me to follow a band obsessively for almost 30 years (shit). And I still love the album and have probably listened to One more than any other song (...

Trevor Bauer going after Curt Schilling and Aubrey Huff is entertaining (Schilling deleted his account, but I'm guessing he'll be back by the end of the week)

So many teachers are getting laid off now because of decreased local tax revenue. I appear to be safe because I lucked out finding the right place to work (despite my past whining). I'm guessing this whole get back to work movement is a way to get people to forget about more stimulus action by the f...

On an up note - Q’s school just gave the go ahead to a modified in-person graduation Sunday night! Two guests per graduate, but the usual trappings otherwise - and it means the kids get one more chance to be together. I wonder how many people in my life that my high school graduation was literally ...

My friend was really into it, and to get a good group together he let us non-players use traditional frisbees (snobs look down at us and call them lids). Anyway, it was tough for me to learn how to throw the real discs, especially since I played so infrequently. The rule adjustment we made was lid ...

Also, Simmons' nonsense is exactly how most racism works these days. It isn't KKK guys in hoods with nooses (though some of those guys obviously exist). It's people who went to elite schools, raised in privilege who own companies (like Simmons) who think nothing of having their idiot buddies from c...

Boston has a bad history and still has problems, but in the context of what has happened in the rest of the country I think there is some "Hey, look at those racists..they suck" while ignoring what's happening where they live. Torii Hunter didn't want to play in Boston because he heard racist taunts...

Hard to imagine anyone from Boston being a racist. This is shocking. Shocking, I tell you.

Yes, this is clearly a Boston problem

And how the fuck is Who's the Boss a top 10 show for the entire decade? I mean, I watched it, but what horrible, pointless show! I thought I had a good week, but this is probably my worst score of the season by a lot.

Special annoucement - the 2020 Swampcrash Playoffs will be held at Canobie Lake Park . There are no hotels on property, but teams with a bye are welcome to stay on Castaway Island or, like, under the carousel or something. You'll have to hide though - they really don't want us there. The next day t...

So Bolton held onto some info for awhile to make money selling books. For years, there will be more books written from witnesses who thought it would be better to stay quiet while the country falls apart under Trump. Bunch of real patriots.

Only a Game getting cancelled. But I can still get F'ing cartalk reruns....f that. WBUR is where I would donate my public broadcasting money.....not anymore. On the other hand it has not been as good since Littlefield retired. Much cheaper to pay for putting a tape in of an old show. I think they c...

There probably is something wrong with him. But you could make a video like that about any one of us if we were on camera as much as these guys are. It’s like the Biden cognitive decline stuff. I was so nervous to actually see him speak after I'd been reading. But my wife had something on, and I wa...

BlacKKKlansman is a great fucking movie. Spike Lee knows what the hell he is doing. The ending, with the footage from the Charlottesville riots, is incredibly powerful. Agreed 100%. Great movie. And it did a good job portraying the problem we used to have with racism in police departments. Glad tha...

Well, if it actually goes towards "community policing," that would mean programs designed to integrate the police into the community, like PAL sports programs or doing stuff that makes the police part of the community. The idea is that if the police know the neighborhood kids, they won't shoot them...

That is very well said..and it's an argument that's been made for a long time; I hope it gets somewhere but I'm worried it will turn into Trump and company saying that when a criminal is attacking you, the Democrats will send a social worker out to talk about feelings.
