There is no excuse. If you go out and get shitfaced, get an uber
Honestly the fact that near-universal accessibility of rideshare services has done nothing for DUI fatalities says something incredibly damning about this kind of offender Whatever we do to them needs to be extremely punishing

Is there anyone more overrated in the corporate press than Mehdi Hasan? He is constantly wrong about objective facts (I love how he misused the word โ€œincumbentโ€), he is insufferably arrogant, he is unrelatable, and he just bullies and browbeats people with bullshit. Sure he has a nice English accent but that is a dime a dozen.
The Civil Rights Act had a 59% approval rating. I know it's fun to pretend that the correct stance was always unpopular so you can pretend your enemies will be the bad guys of future period pieces but the majority of the country was actually convinced on this.

I love this account lol.
You know you're in Minnesota D3 football when your schedule looks like a Medieval Times roster.

I will go further with this. Banned books are a marketing tool. You get some deep red county in Alabama to ban your book and you get prime real estate at Barnes and Noble to hawk your book. Moreover you get liberal boomers buying it, feeling cheeky, and giving it to their grandkids. It is a sweet tradeoff. You trade in getting banned in some deep red county for prime marketing.
Americaโ€™s culture of free speech is so strong that our idea of a โ€œbanned bookโ€ is โ€œa school board in Nowhere, Kansas said it shouldnโ€™t be in the curriculum and now every ninth grader in the country reads itโ€.

If I were a third party with the NYC and LA mayors, I would be really happy.
DSA's National Political Committee is planning to meet tonight to discuss whether to unendorse and/or expel Nithya Raman, a DSA member and Los Angeles mayoral candidate endorsed by the socialist org's Los Angeles chapter.

This is awesome
Not sure how you can see this stuff and not be incredibly moved and optimistic about the future. Inspiring.

30 percent is basically John Kruk getting a base hit. Not very shocking.
I don't know why Nate Silver has to "live down" predicting a 30% chance Trump would win in 2016. Things with 30% likelihood still happen all the time! 30% of the time in fact!

1) another black person called the police 2) it was on the kidโ€™s parents because they were recording other peopleโ€™s kids during the game 3) no trespass citation was given I would file this under parents not knowing how to behave at their kidโ€™s games not racism. Which if you talk to any umpire or referee for youth sports, it is a big issue. Parents are out of control.
Ms. Rachel blasts a children's soccer league for "racism" after a child's parents claim the cops were called on him for being "too good" at soccer. The man who called the police is black. He called the police because the boy's parents were being disruptive. Is there a single hoax she won't believe?

This is an interesting way of looking at it but I have a slightly different view. I think more people launder โ€œthings they likeโ€ into the idea of โ€œdemocracy.โ€ For example, how many times have you heard that โ€œDemocracy was savedโ€ after an election? That begs the question, โ€œWhat if the โ€˜other sideโ€™ won?โ€ Shouldnโ€™t we get to โ€œdemocracy is savedโ€ when we figure out that it was a free and fair election?
Nobody really believes in Democracy, when it comes right down to it. Everybody thinks there are things that are just simply correct and if those things are unpopular, then their politicians should just do it anyway, because there is a higher principle than popularity.

CALLING ALL SWIFTIES: This is clearly an insensitive and demeaning joke aimed at our glorious queen, coming from a classless organization. Along with the Chiefs, we need to come together and support their owners, The San Francisco 49ers, as a response to this blasphemy!

These people would not make it one second in the Big Ten or SEC fandom.
I guess anyone's fair game then. How about we compile a list of Seahawk's WAGs and have large Swiftie accounts mock them when they lose?

I am convinced that the number of elite teams this year is zero. You have a lot of good teams (Ohio State, Miami, Georgia, Indiana, UCLA, Texas, Kentucky, etc) and a lot of shitty to normal teams. If I were a conspiracy type (I am not) I would say that this has been rigged to justify a 24 team playoff.
People who think Ohio State and Indiana aren't good confuse "good" with "elite." Those are two different words. And hey, maybe we need to change our definition of elite in this era.

I think 2023 Michigan or 2024 Ohio State would brutalize these teams. And I havenโ€™t even gotten to 2019 LSU or 2020 Bama.

There is a reason a lot of people move to the suburbs. Letโ€™s not act like itโ€™s hell out there.
Sooner or later You will swallow The USA suburbia ๐Ÿ’Š
