Anyone else noticed a spike in vendor cold calls or emails in the last year? Maybe my email address found its way onto some shit marketing email list, but damn, I get anywhere from 3-5 unsolicited vendor emails a day. I blame LinkedIn because some of these emails reference something my LinkedIn acc...

Just watched https://gamechangersmovie.com/ I get manipulated pretty easily by the most recent book or movie I see, so it's tempting to try it out. The most appealing thing is eating more carbs. And before I get too excited, there's this: https://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/a29067926/the-game-chang...

It made me laugh even more when I realized it was DaveinSeattle asking about Dave in Seattle. ok...I googled it. Now the question is: Why the hell was Dave Matthews raising the 12th man flag? I know he lives here, but as far as I know he has no connection to the team at all. And why does he look li...

I think her performance in Senate hearings is a great strength so it would be great to see more of that.

Not to diminish that development, but not sure why it's a Holy Shit type of development.

It means there will be much more evidence to be ignored and then forgotten.

Guess that field goal Saban was pissed at the refs about before half time was kinda important.

The Mavs aren’t really a marquee NBA team so it’s flying a bit under the radar that Luka Doncic is 20 years old and nearly averaging a 30 point triple-double as the leader of the #1 most efficient offense in the NBA. I was very bullish on him as a draft prospect but this is just insane. Trae Young'...

The Irishman would have been better with Bojack in it. I thought it was interesting, but it wasn't compelling enough to make me watch the 3 hours and 30 minutes in one sitting.

I mean, anyone is welcome to consume their content. But everyone else is also welcome to judge you because of it. If you have to perform justification calisthenics to say why they’re better than the rest of the platform, you already know it’s an issue. I read PFT Commenter before he went to Barstoo...

A news conglomerate using propaganda to brainwash half of the American public and directly working with the leadership of the United States which is affecting the environment, lives of millions, the courts and structure of US government, among other things is a great comparison to a sports blog.

This is gut-wrenching, but so well done. And because everything comes back to Trump/Putin, much of this is about the effects of Russian planes bombing hospitals.

I was going to make a barstool thread because it's stupid the conversation is in the Deadspin thread, but I feel PMT is better than the rest of barstool and was worth discussing without getting caught up in the barstool is awful discussion.

So there may have been one second left on the clock because a Marine tried to catch a ball on the sideline rather than letting it hit the ground and I may have said "fuck supporting the troops."

Looks like Sondland decided to go away from the GOP talking points script. Could be an interesting day with Nunes falling back to screaming Benghazi over and over in the end.

My only concern is reading here and on twitter everything look awful for Twitter. Then when I listen to NPR/BBC, they do the both-sideism report, and sometimes they correct Trump's talking points but often they don't. And I know I'm a broken record on this, but it's amazing what stories don't seem t...

Chesa Boudin was elected district attorney in San Francisco last week. He has quite an interesting lineage, particularly for a big city DA. I trust you kids have heard of the Weather Underground?

Red Zone switched away from what ended up being a Goff fumble and Steelers TD in real-time to show what ended up being a timeout in GB. Should have doubled boxed that man! They were making up for triple boxing when the Chiefs were trying to tie the game with a field goal. In one box, players were s...

Gonna be that guy and say the Steelers almost got dicked by shitty PI calls (or non-calls) and the wackass review results. I think both the PI that was called and OPI that wasn’t were bad calls, but not sure Tomlin should have challenged the second since it’s clear the bar to make a change in revie...
