Sorry man. Only one story allowed per day and we’re still on the last President being old.

I’d had oral surgery earlier in the day and was high on painkillers during that match. My relationship to reality was tenuous and I still knew it was the most boring thing I’d ever watched.

My wife and I walked through that park while visiting a friend in DC. When we got back to the friend’s house, she asked whether we found any dead bodies or witnessed any murders. I guess we were just early?

If Eric Tars thinks an unsheltered policy is bad, I don’t know who would argue it is good.

Pretty bold take with 93% of his presidency remaining

Fine I’ll do it

This is a little too in the weeds to be obvious but the restructuring of homeless assistance funds from CoC to ESG would likely price out existing providers due to the match requirements. CoC funds require a 25% match while ESG requires 100% match.

I don’t understand how Labour can look at the last 4 years in the United States and Germany only to conclude moving right is the best strategy

I think it is a mix of the following: 1. Iowa City hipsters who spend every waking hour attempting to be different 2. People from Sioux City who believe that "maps" are liberal propaganda designed to keep us further from God

You should take a look at the budget proposal. It's insane.

To be fair, Jason is a Californian by birth. He's whatever the wool version of Texan is.

In the first Trump Administration, we had a series of folks who were acting secretaries and never faced confirmation. So, I won't rule out the possibility of similar nonsense.

I think if they fire him, the nominee to replace him will be someone worse. Maybe it'll be Don Jr.

Okay but what restaurant

I think the simplest explanation for what’s happening in our country is that people became far too comfortable. Our society was stable and prosperous and for some reason instead of celebrating this, many people’s brains melted into racist transphobic goo.

Given that much of our politics trends towards the worst outcome, I'm a little concerned we're headed towards Gov. Brenna Bird.

St. Louis, but it’s been a minute since they hosted (and the stadium still had a pro team at the time)

I’ve lived through some stupid times in America but this takes the cake

I see no problem with it, especially today.

Freiburg's urban planning all over the city puts our country to shame

I had a surgery that takes coffee out of the equation in the short term. When I'm back to it, I'm doing all of these. They look great.

I didn’t enjoy being fresh out of college and competing for entry level jobs with people twice my age. I guess you could say it was a character building experience but it did not feel that way at the time.

This one had provolone and I would have liked mozzarella but all in all, really solid

Was surrounded by non-Polk County plates on 235 this morning. A nightmare.

Welcome! Don’t worry about those early kicks. Yours will mostly be 7am. (Guessing you’re in Pacific time) If you find yourself in San Diego on a match day, the San Diego Toffees meetup location is a couple blocks from the beach and it’s lovely.
