I want a show like Bar Rescue but in reverse where every week someone visits another failing, soulless, cookie-cutter corporatized bar and turns it into the kind of divey, semi-lawless neighborhood joint with questionable service and a disaster person of an owner that I would actually go to

I'm going to be 💯... part of the reason it annoys me so much when people say "idk Pgh sort of has both East Coast and Midwest vibes" is that it's so intellectually lazy. Your brain can only handle two options, and at best you just sort of hazily mash them together?

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy. Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."

And there it is. Surprised it took so long, frankly. Either a fetus is a person and they get all rights due, including suing a hospital for a wrongful death, or they're just a lump of cells. But you REALLY can't have it both ways.

In most societies, the rich and powerful acceded to the rule of law solely because they realized that, as soon as ordinary people feel they’re getting screwed without any chance of peaceful redress, that’s when you get the pitchfork-wielding mobs.

We elected a man everyone who matters in this country knew was an idiot. The bulk of them refused to say so openly and directly — either because they thought he could do something for them or because there are political and journalistic norms against speaking that way.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

financial advice in a weird time: -- develop a plan -- find friends who support you -- preferably 10 of them -- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand -- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos -- get your wife back -- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw simple
