Re: Commercials
They shouldn't play TopDogLaw commercials at 6 in the morning. Or really, ever: Fuck yeah! Now I'm pumped up to run into the street and get hit by a car so Top Dog Law can make my dreams come true! Whoooooh! Hey, it could work out. https://twitter.com/swampstevephoto/status/1770468588400640471?s=20

I'm still a fan of WXRT but it gets difficult listening to commercials.

Re: Random Politics
When you take everything in context, the US Government going full bore into bipartisanship over this makes me do what every other person with a thinking brain does: "Oh, so we can pass legislation if we wanted to on things that could actually be good for people. Instead, we'll focus on an app ...

We got caught up on Masters of the Air last night. How realistic is it that the Germans would have so much information about downed pilots? I'm thinking both of Bucky (Buck?) and the Tuskegee Airmen. When the interrogator says that Bucky's name isn't on the lists of pilots and crews on the mission w...

Real Salt Lake is celebrating their "twentieth anniversary" at their home opener Saturday.
This annoys me way too much. It's not their twentieth anniversary, it's the beginning of their twentieth season.

And yet, (at least) four justices voted to grant cert.
