  1. Joseph diGenova, who has spent the last several years running around every cable news program he can find stanning for Donald Trump, just got his SSN and other personal information leaked when Trump declassified the JFK files in the typically slapdash manner that we have come to expect from this Administration. So that's fun.

  8. May as well go here. I just finished a stint on a jury in criminal court. Very short case, judge was great, attorneys were great (very young prosecutors, wizened old "voy d-yer" defense attorney. Jury very young (except me) but we all had the same first instinct. I left feeling pretty good about "local government" and the lower court system. Everyone trying to do well, a case that could have had racial components but didn't, everyone just doing their part to make the system work well. At least for a moment, it got the bad taste out of my mouth. And for a moment felt that this vulgarian fuckwit and his henchmen might not break everything.

  11. I'm not here to neg rep you or even get into a fight with you at all. I just want you to know something. I know a lot of people. A lot. I have never once in my life met anyone who just "mainlined" liberal talking heads all day. I know that you assume that since you olds fire up ole Fox News before the sun comes up our side does the same, but that is not the case AT ALL. The other day I was pumping gas in the morning and some good ole boy rolled up. You know, big diesel truck with the transfer tank in the bed, guy. Anywho, while he was blasting one of the conservative talking heads you guys love so much I asked myself are there even liberal talking heads that are on the radio 24/7? I wouldn't know. Point is you guys need to quit saying what I bolded in your post. Liberals typically come to their conclusions based on logical mathematics and compassion for their fellow man. That is why it is the party for the educated, and not the party voting against their own interests and voting for a silver spoon billionaire "because he knows what we are going through". Good day sir.

  13. This. This right here is the type of quitter talk that exemplifies why America could go to the moon 60 years ago and today can't figure out how to keep the body panels on a shitty looking truck. It's this kind of talk that encapsulates everything that's wrong with this country.

  15. MAGA customer told me today that she fears we may be heading to recession β€œbecause Trump inherited such a bad economy and he’s only doing what he thinks is right for this nation, but it may be too late.” It takes so much energy to not tell her she’s a fucking moron.

  16. Digging this up because.....we are plummeting yet again. I imagine this won't come as a surprise to most of us. So, what are the keys to happiness -- with some lessons drawn from places like Finland, which lands in the #1 spot again? Bolded the important parts, because the contrast is painfully stark. Understanding that "happiness" isn't necessarily "joy" or exuberance, but more accurately, is characterized as contentment and satisfaction.....these factors all make sense, both in what happier countries have, and what we're missing. These are NOT political issues -- they are cultural and social issues. Now, do those cultural and social issues bleed over and create our political environment? Yep, absolutely. So, think of life in Finland. It's maybe not as ostentatious or glamorous as the top 1% live here, but it's a good life. They have....enough. They have made a real broad effort for everyone to have.....enough. In the summer, they spend a couple of weeks at a modest cabin on a lake -- often with no or minimal electricity. You share meals, sit around the fire, sauna, take a cold plunge in the lake, drink and laugh. It's a good damned life, built around the simple things and, importantly, centered on family and friends. As much as they have a reputation for being quiet and reserved, they're actually quite social and friendly (just not so loud and boisterous). We. Community. Common purposes. Sharing. The common good. Valuing kindness and empathy as important qualities. Viewing transactions -- personal, business, etc. -- as integrative in nature (each side tries to reach an agreement beneficial to both parties, a win-win). Those are the things that lead to happiness. Me. Mine. Me vs. you. Seeing empathy as a fault and a weakness. Viewing transactions -- personal, business, etc. -- as distributive in nature (treat every transaction as one over a fixed pie, so there must be a winner and a loser). These are things that take us further away from happiness. Culturally, we have made a god of our toxic individualism, our "for me to win, you must lose" ethos. We have elevated those to be sacred, defining elements of the American character. And a natural secondary effect is that when that set of values is elevated to the divine....the contrary set of values (living in community, seeking mutual benefit) ends up being defined as evil. One of -- perhaps THE -- leading voices of our society (the owner of one of the largest communication platforms, most valuable business enterprises, and co-president of the country) made no bones about that value judgment: β€œThe fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.” His take is not an outlier. He accurately captured the dominant cultural belief in this moment. The problem is, if our goal is to have a reasonably happy society, that take is poison. We are drinking poison. We should stop that. We won't. At least, I don't see any prospects for doing so until we've fully played out the current string we're on. Keep going further and further to the "me, me, me, and F you" extreme.....and when we realize that it's not making us happy, and instead is making us miserable, eventually our misery reaches such a depth that we say "okay, fine.....maybe let's try something else." But we've got a long, long, long, and painful way to go before we get there. That is pretty f'n depressing.

  17. this must-have possession ended with xavier getting the offensive board and an uncontested putback. five Texas players inside the arc, only one Xavier player, and the one Xavier player gets the board and the bucket to effectively end the careers of half of our team and coaching staff. Texas A&M couldn’t hit the ocean from space but they’re a four seed because they actually are well coached, as ugly as that style may be. i’m beyond sick of this fundamentally unsound, low iq basketball. the next guy needs to be obsessed with playing the right way. that’s a trait that’s shared by pretty much every elite coach in the game.

  20. As a progressive/liberal/pinko-commie bastard born and raised in Texas, spending nearly all of the first half of my life in a conservative small town out in West Texas, I can assure anyone who would question the veracity of Biff’s story that a trumptard will automatically assume that any straight, white, middle-aged man they address is also one. They take it as a given that you’ve also drank the Kool-Aid for that piece of shit, and they are not shy about it. It’s much the same way fundagelicals will try to push their perverted version of American Christianity on you without beating an eyelash.

  25. All cyber trucks recalled? That is going to sting their stock prices. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Tesla said Thursday it is recalling nearly all Cybertrucks in the United States to fix an exterior panel that could detach while driving, the latest in a series of call-backs for the pickup truck. The recall covers just over 46,000 vehicles built from November 2023 through Feb. 27 of this year, Tesla said in a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-recall-over-46-000-091416983.html

  30. no, because he’s leveled out and is no longer the rising star that he was a decade ago. you’ve got this sean miller: yep, i’d like to hire him. but then you’ve got this sean miller: so he falls off a cliff at arizona, gets canned for rampant cheating, gets welcomed back home at xavier, finishes 56th and 40th in kenpom the last two years, and would be willing to bolt from xavier *again* after they welcomed his cheating, losing ass with open arms. that’s why i don't want it to be sean miller.
