  1. As somebody who had a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a second in the sun in sports writing, I'm pretty confident in sayin SI did itself no favors during the Deadspin era by being stodgy garbage. And I say that as somebody who did most of my writing as eulogies of baseball players from the golden era. They were late to the importance of Moneyball, the changing CFB recruiting and conference landscape, how we consume sports, just everything. In some ways, the O.G. swimsuit issues are reflective of their problems: They didn't really adapt even to ESPN in the 90s. They just kept pumping out swimsuit merch as soft core spank bank material instead of innovating their business model to be multi-media. By the time they realized they needed to adapt, societally we had all moved on. Easy internet porn and the death of the Silent Generation and Older boomers did the rest. This Family Guy quip kinda nails it:
  2. Also: if you know anything about Swift, she doesn’t do anything, ANYTHING, commercially for free. She’s basically printing money for the Owners in merch sales, and trust me, that at some level grinds her gears since she isn’t getting a slice.
  3. What was doubly funny about it was Diggs has complained incessantly about not getting the ball enough.
  4. This. Do people on this page not understand that Taylor Swift is probably the most famous person in the world, other than possibly King Charles?
  5. There was always one asshat at Bates who would rock shorts and a fleece vest through Christmas break. Usually single digits would force them into pants and a jacket come January.
  6. 747-8 are about the most robust modern airplane you can fly, outside of maybe a C-130. There are the flying equivalent of an overbuilt post and beam house.
  7. I lived around the block from Cedar Creek in Eanes growing up. My mom would basically say “I hope you didn’t lose your rain coat “ before driving off to work and leaving me to walk/bike to school. Gen X is built different.
  8. In its day, getting an SI and an Entertainment Weekly was basically perfection

    If I were industry, if you get past the basic rah-rah "dur....deregulation is good!!!" this is ultimately going to be terribly destructive in that I will never be able to understand the regulatory playing field I'm operating in. There is never a controlling standard any more, especially at the federal level. How do I allocate capital in the that environment if I'm constantly having courts picking and choosing through technical rule decision making. What's to keep agencies in Democratic administration from constantly testing the court on decisions, attempting to find a definition consistent with the statutory language, forcing me back into to court over and over and over again? More long term, the court is putting itself at extreme risk in the case of a major politically shift, of finding itself on the end of Congresses gun and having it's jurisdictions and funding dramatically regulated. Since every decision seems to say "The executive branch is too powerful, Congress must decide!" What happens when Congress writes a law and removes the Supreme Courts jurisdiction? Robert's and the conservatives are betting the current political dynamic will continue unabated, but as Stalin quipped about the Pope "How many armored divisions does he have?" That is also true of the judiciary.

    I love her stand up, which is mostly self deprecating. When she's on the road, she will usually post a couple of thirst traps here and there on Insta.
  11. Combining a mercurial, redass like Jim Harbaugh with a weak minded, but easily offended owner like Dean Spanos is going to certainly be an entertaining combination.
  12. You going live by good Joe Flacco, sooner or later, you will die by bad Joe Flacco.
  13. Need three touchdowns boys!! Z let’s do this!!!!!! Looks over and sees that fat fuck McCarthy on the sideline. 😆
  14. I spent one miserable late winter/spring in New England burning wood for heat, I have thoughts. There's a difference between burning wood in a fire pit vs. fireplace/stove. Green wood is awful to burn in a firebox: smoky, prone to flameout/smolder, slow to coal, coats the chimney/stovepipe with creosote. In a firepit, you burn enough scrap lumber to get a fire going, you can burn damn near anything if you don't mind smelling like firepit. Compared to Eastern White Oak, Southern Live Oak seems to cure faster, especially in Texas heat. If you want to ensure quickest seasoning, fold a tarp over to a width to cover the top of the wood stack and weigh down with a few logs to keep the bulk of the rain off. As previously stated: The general rule of thumb with most hardwoods (oak) is about a year, but if you have a good airy, dry, sunny location, you might be able to get away with 9 months.
  15. Winds were howling in SW DC A couple of hours ago, now it’s mostly just rain. I do think they suspended flights out of DCA for awhile because they are pushing tin like crazy right now.
  16. Mostly because of Alaska 261 which was a maintenance failure. I guess Notoriously is probably a bit strong.
  17. Alaska is notoriously bad at Maintenance. Flight is based on real world Alaska airlines incident, but Whip did not in the end save the day, although the plane was flown upside down for a bit.
  18. Just a second there, Professor....we fixed the glitch....
  19. Really, just a couple of play action RPO bootlegs with a two layer passing option would have pulled the safeties out of the box, and allowed Michigan to have the big, time killing dagger drive they kept looking for starting 10 minutes into the 2nd quarter. But Khaki pants got his title, so what the fuck do I know. Michigan, for better or worse, was definitely the best team in college football this year.
