  1. This seems like as good a thread as any to drop this. I'm finally ready to ditch my Orvis messenger bag for a backpack. A few days per week, I have to lug my work laptop back-and-forth to the office. The messenger bag has a shoulder strap that just no longer works for me. It's just not overly comfortable when loaded up with laptop, charger, iPad, work folio and various other things. It would be nice to also settle on something I can use as a carry-on bag for trips -- we don't do air travel that much (3-4 times per year). I've had a smallish North Face backpack that I've had for years but I don't mind stepping up my game a little and getting something that will function for work commuting and also take over when we travel. It can accommodate a small laptop, iPad and most of what I need but it's not laid-out well and gets a little tight with all the things. I don't need anything that will look absurdly huge and out-of-place when I hop into a business meeting at a local coffee shop but the added functionality that I can convert it to a useful travel bag would be nice as well. Basically, I want something that doesn't look out of place in an office environment or walking through the Denver airport.
  2. Marc Maron gets it https://www.threads.com/@marco.foster/post/DNiaYyFOAX9?xmt=AQF0scvJ9S7f8YJR2rXebrKYeUcTxO79jyPFla-2gboKVw
  3. This will be my game shirt for the third or fourth season — however long since they released it.
  4. Goddamn that season finale was great. Loved Frank as the Golden Bachelor. Very touching tribute to Lynne Marie Stewart over the final credits. Got a little dusty in there.
  5. Just watched S2E3 and that was hilarious. Beck Bennett as “Wild Card” and their Bachelor Party night. Cutting to black with Wet Leg’s “Wet Dream” made me bust out laughing. Great show. You’re right. Rose is awesome in this. Her husband is what he is — he plays the straight guy to all the craziness around him. I thought the Jeopardy story line is funny.

  8. Secret gay sex scandal explodes in Republican Party as 'closeted' congressman who's engaged to a woman is accused of sordid double life https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15003847/secret-gay-sex-republican-congressman-engaged.html
  9. Would love an excuse to finally catch a game in Clemson as my wife is a grad. We had a blast at the playoff game in December. We’ve been together in one form or another since 2012 and I’ve yet to make it up there for a game.

    South Park

    Adding on to a few of the comments from earlier today. HED: ‘South Park’ Heads to a Militarized D.C. in Next Episode, Then Will Skip Yet Another Week https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/south-park-militarized-d-c-new-episode-promo-1236348693/
  11. They're painting it black because ... wait for it ... wait for it ... wait for it ... https://apnews.com/article/trump-border-wall-paint-black-immigration-crossings-978acd21269cd917b97ba6cb9077bc71 I 100% believe this is a "Donald Trump idea." It's full-blown Idiocracy time at this point.

  13. This was a pretty big story back in 2016 when it first surfaced. Lawsuit was filed and then withdrawn either because she was understandably afraid of her safety or she was paid handsomely. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/assault-allegations-donald-trump-recapped

  15. Robert Reich:
  16. Everything the GOP does is almost entirely performative because there is no real governmental platform other than how do we save rich people the most money. Oh, and advance the interests of white people who are mostly of European descent.
  17. The first one was pretty damn funny. The “Bighead of Lucky Penny” character cracks me up. It’s not terrific but it entertains me and episodes are only 30 mins or so.
  18. I played golf with Mariano one time. Funny guy. Kind of a handful.
