  1. It would be a real blow to my sobriety streak, that's for sure. Doubt much would change in the long run but since all of my internal organs would be fighting for survival for a few weeks the long run could take care of itself.
  2. https://archive.is/zcYed Jack DeJohnette, Renowned Jazz Drummer Who Played on Miles Davis’ ‘Bitches Brew,’ Dead at 83
  3. hmmmm.
  4. I laughed. Speaking of old, during certain points in a sports game when the game looked to be clearly won by one side, my Father would say "It's all over but the shouting." To me that's now applicable to Trump and the US.
  5. There's the "maga ruined sports" thread but I think its closer to us terminally online folks ruined it. That Sark thread is disgusting. Really bad. I quit paying close attention for quite a few years for various reasons but still check in occasionally due to neighbors talking. Every once in a while I take a look at the football board. A whole lot of ugliness on that board in general. Many seem they've never really been having fun. And the amount of seriousness people take in analyzing every little thing is cringe. The 'pussy' talk or what not. Ugh. Then there is the misery on just about every game thread. Gross. And the total 'clever' repeated surly-isms (ha ha, 'ass water'?). Cringe. That train of thought put out there, I see it on other sports discussion sites too. Not unique to Surly. We all distract ourselves in some fashion. I think there may be healthier distractions than online sports boards and most pro sports fandom in general.
  6. RIP. I somehow missed this news when it happened. And yes to the above.
  7. Funny how it always comes down to that. I'm not invested in it but he seems an unrepentant killer. I don't buy that he didn't know the tattoo's meaning but seems more edgelord "I'm a killer" type stuff than true nazi. That stated all this sent me down a rabbit hole of horrors we committed in Iraq which was a good refresher in a depressing way. He seems completely untrustworthy to me. Perhaps time proves me wrong. But again I think our overall collapse is in full effect and this race won't really be something we talk about in the long run.
  8. He was also a guard at Abu Ghraib apparently. I honestly don't have to care about him electorally. I'm not a fan of war criminals, red or blue.
  9. Don't know if this is a purity test or not but not sure I'm a fan of this dude: https://old.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1mzuxqm/im_the_maine_oysterman_combat_veteran_running_for/namhen4/ "Small wars are pretty enjoyable" https://old.reddit.com/r/Hasan_Piker/comments/1oe0fht/the_average_american_veteran_is_dumb_argument/ Additionally, like the post says if he had fantasies and knowledge about early 20th century colonial wars him not knowing that SS symbol stretches credulity. Drunk Marines get Devil Dog tattoos or some kind of non-nazi shit unless they are nazis. And anything "Fallujah" gets a side eye from me, sorry. Then there is the blackwater thing. So dude enjoyed slaughtering brown people into his mid-30's but now he's all cool because "oligarchs?" OK. What actual atonement has he worked for or done for the people of Iraq? He was the son of a lawyer and restaurant owner and went to private college prep school but we're to forgive him for just being a meathead. There might be redemption arcs out there, but that's a lot to redeem here imo. All that said, we're in the total decay stage so I'm not invested all that much either way. Nor do I live in Maine. But he sure doesn't seem like someone the left should look to imo.
  10. bruh
  11. page 88. ooooh, i think '88' is a nazi symbol also. uh oh.
  12. Astros fans say that one a lot. I have seriously not read of any other team doing the trash can thing and the amount of tech that the Stros used to do it. That sounds a lot like whataboutism to me. But all this really stemmed from your original post of Springer and 'karma.' Which we'll never agree on apparently. Anyway, congrats to whoever was rooting for Toronto, including you if that is the case.
  13. You're mistaking me for being upset. I'm not. No ill will towards Toronto. But could never root for Springer. And I think you're last sentence is dead wrong. Most non-Astros fans won't 'move on.'
  14. The better team won the series but "karma" should have seen him and his fellow cheaters banned from baseball. But I guess in this instance that lack of accountability is a good mirror of our larger society at the moment.
  15. That was not ideal. Ah well.
  16. Cardiac kids is right. Glad to see the Seattle crowd getting to celebrate one like that.
  17. again, I'm barely paying attention to this one. but the fire is pretty good.
  18. Seemed to me once they saw Miller didn't have it and the drubbing was on that they chose to just go with it and rest other arms. Scherzer in the playoffs spooks me though. Don't care what his ERA is or how he did during the season.
  19. Sorry, saw my chance to join the surly meme reference gang and had to take it.
  20. That's certainly going to confuse your mom.
  21. That's a good start.
  22. They don't like your jokes so you're arrested. Perfectly fine.
  23. But he makes funny tweets. https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/10/08/newsom-signs-controversial-antisemitism-bill-that-sets-up-first-in-the-nation-measures/
