we should make American voters get a tattoo on their arm that says DON'T TRUST THE REPUBLICAN PARTY because otherwise they're basically all that guy from Memento every second election cycle.
I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.
JT’s foul complaining is getting close to his playoff form, he’s back folks
Oh yeah, Hugo and Baylor in particular are guys who I think will be good players for a while in the league, Hugo might even become a great player, very good chance of that. Right now though, he's a great rookie, and yeah, you don't want to have to rely on him in the playoffs for multiple rounds
Clamped down by playoff defense and then you realize why they are second or third tier guys
This is the thing about JT, he doesn’t need to go back to being a near 30 pt guy to be the best player; if he shores up our rebounding and playmaking, plus the shooting, he starts giving the Cs that playoff edge that they need. Like I love all the young wings but they’re exactly the guys who get
His complaining not quite in mid season form though
One thing that the maps I've seen in the news fail to convey is that Turkey is as big as Texas + all of New England. Iran is 2.5x Texas. You want to do a ground invasion there in the mountains when you couldn't win in Afghanistan, let alone Vietnam? Ok good luck dude guess I'll just pay $40/gallon

oh for sure from the eater's side, especially Chinese people. I meant for the other groups, as a joke, that their food must be crappy compared to Chinese food. But of course it's not that, although I will note that IME I have met numerically more adventurous eaters amongst my Chinese acquaintances

Sad to find out it didn’t happen
Just sat down in a movie theater, where we’ll be for the next three blissful hours. Here’s hoping we have a reason to crack that bottle of champagne we’ve been saving when we get out
This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen
a failed moral society looks like. Bunch of people just trying to buy different kale varietals and some local fruit and eggs, having to ignore chuds in the hope that they will eventually get bored and go away
anyone says anything to them, then they get all animated and engaged in having a verbal altercation--bc they aren't even ICE or anything, they're just there to try to intimidate people and, more importantly for them, generate content that they can post on their chud socials. this is exactly what
Apropos of nothing, I was at the Atwater Village Farmer's Market earlier today, where, as others have previously noted, there's a group of masked chuds in cheap "Fuck Your Feelings" long sleeve Ts, standing around the entrances, videoing people with their cell phones. Not starting anything but if
