  1. username doesn't check out
  2. The most incompetent medical staff in all of professional sports.
  3. They basically added a year on his contract at what he is making now and then gave him a big raise for this upcoming season. Rewards him for his year last year but doesn't cripple us in the future when we add another big extension or two to the books. Smart, smart move.
  4. I appreciate Altuve willing to do whatever is needed for the team, but this idea is quickly accelerating into "everyone involved needs to be fired" territory.
  5. Heard someone complaining about Whataburger in the real world today and it made me realize: If you were to make a venn diagram of "people who will defend capitalism until their dying breath" and "people who complain the loudest about things being worse than they used to be" it would be a single circle, without any hint of irony.
  6. How brave of him.
  7. "This is consent. Do you do that here? We just started." might be my favorite line in three seasons.
  8. He looks exactly as you would expect with that bio.
  9. Yes, before the internet people would say stupid shit like "Hitler didn't murder millions of people, public workers did" and they would be laughed at and either 1) forced to realize that they are wrong and their innate desire to be a part of a community would take over and lead to a reevaluation of their beliefs or 2) exiled into a life as that weird hermit guy down the street. Now they can put that shit on the internet and immediately find a community of similarly insane people who agree. No matter what you say or do, there's never a need to self-reflect when you can immediately find a new circle of people (or bots) who agree with you. Eventually this group got big enough to hijack a political party whose only concrete belief is "lib tears."
  10. This exact realization was what hit me, and I suspect many on this board, like a ton of bricks the morning after the election. THIS is who we are.
  11. That Walters douche is probably a top 5 most dangerous Trump villain, which is no small feat.
  12. This is the government Schumer fought to keep open. Also goes without saying, but you do not introduce the concept of “unpardons” if you ever plan to cede power to the opposition.
  13. “Biden withholding hurricane aid to red states” WAS a big story last year, and it wasn’t even fucking true.
  14. He knows what he is doing, this is all just a game to them.
  15. Entire party is not built for the moment.
  16. Italy agrees! https://variety.com/2016/film/global/disney-changes-moana-title-in-italy-where-it-has-porn-star-connotations-1201921745/
  17. Seems legit. https://electrek.co/2025/03/07/tesla-made-a-suspicious-number-of-rebate-requests-on-last-days-of-canadian-ev-incentive/
  18. Hadn’t even considered this as a possibility, but of course it’s gonna happen now. One of the most symbolically demoralizing acts I could imagine.
  19. Starting to think this fella isn’t all that concerned about Constitutional rights.
  20. I mean it isn’t rocket science. bp had two of the worst o&g disasters in history within a 5 year period, which tanked public confidence in the company and cemented the stock below competitors. They were never going to out-Exxon Exxon at this point, so the CEO took a big swing on renewables to try and make bp be market leaders in that area - which in hindsight was a swing and a miss. The Ukraine war was a double whammy as bp was forced to sell stake in Rosneft (thus losing a revenue stream that could help temper a slower transition) and the ensuing profits the other companies saw in traditional hydrocarbons slowed the energy transition to a crawl. It’s self-inflicted, but there’s a world where the early 2020’s energy optimism isn’t interrupted by Putin and bp comes out smelling like roses.
  21. https://open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark/p/america-first-is-a-lie-a76?r=3agz2m&utm_medium=ios
  22. It’s funny to watch in real time people who were really, really wrong try and convince themselves that they weren’t really, really wrong.
  23. George Washington would drown you in the Delaware for even pretending to believe any of this shit.
  24. This really is a phenomenal read, for anyone who hasn't already clicked.
