I keep banging the drum on the war chest and abortion. While a lot can happen in the next six months I'm expecting this to be ass-kicking. I sincerely doubt the Republicans in Congress are going to get their shit together and govern with any competency, considering the racist MAGA dipshit wing of th...

So for the last one before we take off next week for UConn's eventual title, O Brother Where Art Thou. I'm a few behind, but I'm looking forward to it; I haven't seen it since I saw it on VHS. We should have a few weeks to catch up. It appears it's on Hulu.

Seal should cover it.

ETA: All kidding aside, Loretta Lynn was a damn treasure.

So they’re trying to make her the second most popular MAGA celeb, second to Ted Nugent?

If they win it all, we have to talk about this being one of the most dominant stretches since UCLA right? They haven’t been challenged in 10 straight tourney games. Yeah, no question. At this point, the most recent comp might be that UNLV team that beat Duke by 30 in the finals and then steamrolled...

Since the UConn game got out of hand, I put on the first episode of this season’s Amazing Race. And I’m glad no one told me that one team ended up recreating the corridor scene from the first Austin Powers. I’m not going to have a harder laugh all year.

The NC State faithful are having quite a night.

Acuna is 50 bombs / 49 steals away from history, if you’re banking on those numbers in fantasy.

I think I mentioned I’m going to Cleveland for the eclipse, which is in the 100% zone. I’ve been monitoring the weather, and it went from rain in the am to partly cloudy in the am. Hopefully it’ll be clear in the mid-afternoon.

Never take a pizza recommendation from a guy who calls it za.

Similarly, nobody here allows “ZA” in Scrabble, right? I don’t care if they put it in the official Scrabble dictionary; it’s a bullshit “word”.

Tell me you showed the scene when the longshoreman brought the duck to the bar.

Take it the Minnesota thread.

You’re right. I don’t know why I thought he was from STL. Always get those 1987 World Series participants mixed up.

Those ships might only be going like 8 knots or so, but they weigh dozens of thousands of tons. That's a tremendous amount of force, especially colliding in a relativity small impact area creates massive puncture pressure. It's steel, dude. Not adamantium.

Reminds me of a tweet I saw once that said they weren't sure what kind of machine they were raging against but I'd put my money on that it was a printer.

I get that. But he’s a rich white guy in America. Him walking away scot-free is what’s expected. In fact, having anything stick to him is the exception and not the rule (because he’s a fucking moron). He was just going to the same thing he’s done for the last 40 years. Seeing his supporters get ruin...

Honestly, if I were still on social media and more spiteful, I’d be goading the MAGA dipshits to go invest in this.

Etrade was all like “Naah dogg. That’s just free money. Up the difficulty.”

The people who are going to lose their shirts on this is going to be tragicomic.

It’s obviously Mayor Pete’s fault somehow. Similarly, I’m curious how the local Fox affiliate, a Sinclair Communications-owned station, is going to tie this to Mayor Brandon Scott, the same way they pin every purse-snatching, Ds on surprise quizzes by 4th graders, and runners stranded at 3rd by the...

Anti-Russell Wilson situation. No matter how rich he gets, he still kinda gets it like a normal person.

Look, that’s just your opinion man.

Delaware is right. Beck Bennett really goes for it as the bison.

Similarly, I always thought that the Nuggets should just run-and-gun and make that their identity. Outside of the Doug Moe years, and when they had Carmelo and AI, I don’t remember them playing that way. Being up in that altitude has to be a huge advantage in terms of conditioning.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but seeing ads with collegiate players puts a smile on my face.

The reason he has to go to the Saudis and the Russians for financing is that every bank in America knows he's a shitty businessman, and doing business with him is just setting money on fire. I'd really be curious who would want his shares as collateral when they're in reality worth less than Monopol...

What’s going on in this Northwestern-FAU game? They both average over 72 PPG, but it’s 16-12 with about 5:30 left in the 1st. They must’ve spent all last night in the Meatpacking District.

Huh? What kind of rule is that? You can't block the bag if the ball is in the glove? So are they only supposed to do swipe tags now? And no more blocking the plate when the catcher has the ball?

Whenever I see the name Wagner I immediately think of a guy yelling “you lost your Judaism!” to Larry David.

So this is what precipitated my initial post. I get the New York Times morning newsletter that I read during my #1 or #2 #2 depending on when I get up. Today's was discussing, in their own words "the rightward shift among voters of color". It then continues for (I counted) 18 paragraphs an...

I'm starting to assume that the mainstream media is doing anything to talk up TGS's chances of keeping this closer than it will be solely for the clicks, because if this comes down to the sizes of the war chests , it's going to be a veritable ass-whupping. Unfortunately, all of his buffoonery bring...

Agreed. It’s bound to happen that a star in one of the Big 4 would get pinched in the new gambling era we’re in, but if it’s Ohtani that’d be crushing.
