can't wait and we are past ready for the ball/strike challenges. this is so fucked up. i was watching a minor league game yesterday for the first time and the system seems great - I'd not yet seen how it works: pitcher didn't like the call, taps his head immediately, they go to the tennis-like-recr...

Iran attacking Israel is not good right? Though at least Israel is picking a fight with a country that actually has a military unlike Palestine. Israel sees that it’s losing support with Biden and centrist Dems, so Israel provokes Iran into attacking Israel, so now Rs and Dems both will rally behin...

Sitting in my office at the University of Idaho Law School in Moscow, ID, where I was working as a legal writing instructor. I was stunned to see pictures of black folks celebrating the verdict. Now I understand a little bit more. The discussion today among the young black women lawyers I follow on ...

That was fucking amazing. Stayed clear enough here in Cleveland to see the whole thing. I’ve always been an astronomy nerd, and I never thought I’d ever see a total eclipse. But to finally see it - the whole solar corona, the diamond ring - was even better than I expected. Kinda feel like I achieve...

Old guys represent. Did SCTV have a skit where a Eugene Levy character was doing a call-in show and someone said his name was "Haji"? I seem to remember Levy saying "Okay, 'Haji'". That popped into my head during the NCAA tourney, one of the players was named Haji. Do any of yall...

Is that their reputation now? It used to be that the only sport more brutal than Big Ten football was Big Ten basketball.

I'm debating going to my Mom's where they'll have the full eclipse, but most likely I'll just stay here where we have 94%. Both kid's schools are doing something so that's neat for them. I'd go to your mom's if at all possible, unless the weather looks unfavorable. People say that the difference be...

There’s some sloppy, frenetic, bad hoops going on between Illinois and Iowa State.

Mine is in that space in the driver's side door. If your car plummets from a bridge, it will likely go head first into the water, and it will sink to the bottom heavy side first, right? I dunno.

Also, and more importantly, he's part of the reason that Obamacare didn't have a Single Payer option.

Anyone else here have a dream last night that they were in a car that flew off a bridge over water? I guess I woke up before the car actually hit the water. But I do remember making sure to lower the car's windows while we were in the air, because it might not work once we hit. (I've been nervous ab...

Finally finished "Masters of the Air". I thought it was really good, and it was great to see what happened to those guys post-war. Did Croz ever mention to his wife about his thing with the Subaltern? Or did he wait to write his memoir until she died? And Rosie's story was wild...ending u...

We've watched 2 episodes so far of "Shogun", and really like it. But its hard for me to remember everyone's names. I feel so racist having the same problem. I basically have to watch with IMDB open on my phone. In my defense, it took me half a season to figure out who all the various dark...

That’s how I read it.

I gotta side with the Mrs. here. Being “owed” a kiss us some caveman or 70s-80s comedy movie shit.

Which makes SC's perspective understandable.

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.

The fundamental problem is that for-profit corporations exist to make profits for their shareholders. Their managers have a fiduciary duty to do so.

Historically, hasn’t the (supposedly) ideologically neutral media been the exception rather than the rule?
