Given your past writing, the four-in-hand, but I'm dying to learn the "Why". First glance, didn't find either distracting to the overall outfit.

Jim Fallows has a huge riff about this in his Our Country series(and book). I believe Eerie PA is the town where it's most focused. Like, it's just not a new thing!

I haven't thought of Orlando Cabrerra in ages, and now I'm just thinking of all the Beloved Guys the Sox have had the last 25 yrs or so. Lotta Guys!

One of these things is not like the other....

Glad you didn't take that as snottily as I wrote it. Also forgot, office space and postage! Though my guy got a fair amount of in-kind donations of that stuff.

I mean, you could read their campaign finance reports. Used to be treasurer for a local candidate in Virginia. The answer at that level was basically physical media(signs, mailers), website stuff, and paying to put on events. If it could be fit in, giving to like-minded candidates who needed it.

Christ all fucking mighty, Mike Lee could slit someone's throat and drink their blood on live TV, and someone On Here is going to be "See, the problem with this is because the Dems..." Just fuck off to the sun with this.

50 yr old dude, got choked up when I could hear the Richmond event a few blocks out. Cringe is good.

What people need to hear is how much fun these things can be. It is good and nourishing to be around other people all being righteously pissed off in this moment. I'm jaded from the Iraq war marches and stuff, but man, filling up the streets with American flags and what not? It feels good!

Was behind Peter Wolf(of J. Giles Band) in security at DCA, made a little small talk. At the gate, he pulled out a sleeve of saltines and just went to town. Delightfully weird.

As a born and raised Bostonian, first, how dare you. Also, if you had thrown Glah-stah in there I'd I've died of laughter.

I'm sorry, landmine lunges? I just got stoked about RDLs, what fresh suffering is this?

Nate, I mean this with all the kindness in the world, but that's a level of forethought these shitheels haven't earned. I mean, the guy at the mic yesterday was prone to mid speach go "Lee, y'know, that reminds me of a broad I tried to bang in 1983. Not really into redheads, but...."

May I introduce you to Qualified Immunity? To say nothing of the time and expense of trying to sue the federal gov't.

This legit makes me happy. Hope this is actual change and not simply old guy misremembers youth.

People want 0% Fraud and Efficient Administration and that's just seems like an impossible needle to thread.

My first job out of college was doing software to support a state's WIC program. Lots of "WIC has so little fraud because of all these rules!" At 21, I'm like yes, of course. Now at 50, I'm like "Oh, so that's why >50% of the WIC budget goes to admin stuff."

I actually gasped at this nonsense. Lived in France for a few months, and the first day of language classes, they taught us "greve". Like, here's how to say your name, your nationality, and here's the word for strike, just trust us. Our whole time there was dodging low to midlevel unrest.

All for the privilege of being eaten by a Grue, many such cases.

Laughs in private pilot. Or woodworker. Or sailboat owner(I've at some point down all three). Like, c'mon.

Come to Richmond, VA and drink your fill. Hi quality and quantity. For some reason, leg ink in particular. It's great

In Massachusetts, you had to run varsity if you were a senior. Which got me between Rob Konard(ended up with the Miami Dolphins) and Greg Comella(ended on on the Giants playing for a Super Bowl) running the 100. It was a great 60 yds for me. And then it very much was not.

Just the most humorless scolds replying to this. Lighten the fuck up people.
I'd self-immolate if I looked that cool for more than 20 seconds.

Fair enough, just think these papercuts add up and folks are going to lash out at some point. Even if - maybe especially because - of the smallness of the slight. I'd still put money on that fence not coming out of this weekend in the same state it entered.

I thought the pod discussion on movement hygiene was good last week, but also, at some point, a level of violence is going to have to happen to get on the other side of this. Very curious if this isn't it(and I get the sobriety point you made), what is?

Because it will crash the global economy, which is an order of magnitude worse than giving this shitheel a political win. Also, bad tools that occassionally do things we like(such as the filibuster) is a bad defense of those tools.
Anyway, we can pleasantly agree to disagree, fair winds friend.

Counter point, the debt ceiling is stupid, it doesn't do anything useful, and is just a loaded weapon lying around for anyone careless to pick it up. Any politically viable way to flush it down the toilet, let's go.

These jabronis who come in here unaware of the level of game you bring on the daily. Like, guys, Jane is a Bengals fan, calling her a neolib just isn't going to move the needle. She seen shit you wouldn't believe.

There is also a new, insanely shitty thing weekly, with people On Here yelling "WHY AREN'T DEMS YELLING ABOUT THIS 24/7?!?" and like, you can't yell about All Things At Once and hold the public's attention. It's sort of the entire point of the flooding the zone approach.

As someone very slightly aware of the airline pilots, and their seniority system(aviation enthusiast, not in the biz), holy shit did that part make my eye start twitching.

You should look at how Virginia handles their part time "citizen legislature". The fact the state is reasonably well governed is sort of a minor miracle.

It's 2025, you don't even need the cheap foam ones! Loops are $35 and even look cool(I'm 50 so, YMMV on that).

I was gonna say, you do you guys, but also, skill issue. Get some good reusable earplugs for like $30 and go see bands in places like the 930 club or some 1500 seat theater.

Told my wife that you have to truly understand the gravity of Tuberville's stupidity, given he makes Marsha Blackburn look like wise statesman. All the color drained from her face.

JP, is the going conventional wisdom still that Dmen peak later in their career? Would seem our Big Goofy Dman can improve a little on the decision making as he hits his prime?

How does Dario the butcher and his love of bistecca fiorentina fit into this? Exception that proves the rule?

But have you considered that John Carlson as he exists isn't the John Carlson some fans wish he was. Trade isn't such a wash now, huh? Wait, where you going....

Built a basic cabinet after joining the local maker space.
A few years ago, took a sabbatical and lived in southern France with my wife. We don't speak much French, and we'd never been to the city. My 22 yr old self couldn't even conceive of the idea.

If you need a starter point for weights, Casey Johnston has her Liftoff plan. It's fantastic, straight to the point. Good info in their about protein consumption too.
