Re: Royals
It’s so goofy that the stadium there is so bad. It's really not a part of the country that makes sense for pro baseball, for a lot of reasons. yeah i know those things, but it's still goofy. Goofy as hell - but I think the goofiness (and the protracted fantasyland proposals over time, including spl...

Re: serve and protect
Sturgeon, Missouri, residents are speaking out about safety after a Sturgeon Police Department officer shot and killed a 13-pound blind Shih Tzu mix. Maybe the dog dragged him 30' with his car and tore the officer's pants? What, exactly, are we doing here? Louisville Police Have Very Little To Say ...

Re: What happened to the immigration thread?
I wish I was (only) joking, but - today's migrant staying in Central America is tomorrow's migrant in a caravan that has an ETA of about October 20.

Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago
cult The price of admission is your soul, and some bootlicking of course. When people talking about needing to take money out of politics, this is, broadly, sort of the point. It's one thing to have actual public-service principles that are disagreeable. It's quite another to have none whatsoever.

Re: SCOTUS
Ugh, I just had a sinking thought - watch Alito recuse himself from the immunity case *now* as a means of giving Roberts a fake reason to hold a new round of oral arguments or something else that knifes the possibility of a Chutkan trial before November. With a bonus opportunity for Roberts to prete...

Re: Royals
I've never been to Tropicana Field, but you're right, looking at pictures of the inside of the dome it is uuuuuuuuugly! That does not increase my inclination to watch a game there. ________________________________________________________________________ After 2-3 weeks of not being able to watch a ...

Re: SCOTUS
I was with, last night, the Trumper with whom I’m closest. He knows that we have wildly differing views on these things. Holding court with some of his sheep, he had the audacity to say that the system is working as it is designed to, with people having indirect power to steer the direction of the C...

Re: F the NCAA
no, it wasn't the choice of the schools it was a lost court battle In a narrow sense, yes this was an emergency settlement that the NCAA agreed to to stop the bleeding. But in a broader sense, yes absolutely it was a choice to fight the tide until it washed over them. There were decades of opportun...

Re: F the NCAA
Part of me wonders if this isn't at least partly so the schools/ncaa can take back some control over the money to ensure they're getting "their fair share" of these NIL dollars that they currently get none of. I'll be curious to see what the stipulations are that they impose when they sta...

The NCAA played stupid games. This is exactly the sort of stupid prize it was bound to win.RainbowsandUnicorns wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 5:32 am This was an I told you so move for most of us.

Re: Behind QT
okay. I think people are treating me unfairly. Now what? Now move on. I'm trying to. If, going forward, I feel others continue to treat me unfairly, what course of action would you suggest? I would suggest feeling satisfied that you’ve aired your grievances, walking away until you no longer feel co...

Re: The Travel Thread
i was there last summer awful compared to what it was 15-20 years ago Not remotely similar vibes, but this is how I'd describe Nashville, too. I have a feeling that I would describe Nashville a whole hell of a lot like how the dubs (P and T) would describe college sports! Apt. I've been twice and a...
