So yay you sure showed that Kaepernick fella, but now over half the league’s QBs are black so congrats thanks to blackballing him.

Kaepernick thing is a weird Pyrrhic victory for those types because they blackballed Kaep but 1) owners wrote a fat check and 2) the number of black QBs drafted exploded after the settlement, and it appears largely because owners stopped blocking teams from drafting them for fear of another suit.

“Customer is always right”-ism is one more thing we can blame on Protestantism right?

It’s also hard to separate from there being genuine anger among that generation that the car culture they worshipped as young people is totally dead. Like even their own right wing kids don’t really give a shit about cars.

Sally’s concept of feminism is so shallow and pathetic that she’d cheer the ascendence of a Ada Hitler as somehow good for society.

The presence of private insurance allows medical practitioners and hospitals to drive up to cost of care by bidding them against each other. “Well X Inc paid $9k for the MRI, why don’t you Y Inc?”

In a single payer America, all that ends and the cost of procedures is set by the one payer.

I think that’s the seed of her downfall. There’s going to be a point where the mutants in right wing media get jealous of the Jewish lesbian who’s getting all the money from the right wing billionaire donors they want donating to them.

The chickens have come home to roost for these orgs that ostensibly represent Jewish voices in American politics but are completely out of step with actual American Jewish opinion.

He’s basically Democrat John McCain. It would play great in 1997 I guess

Don’t let your friendships with people with children dry up. Find ways to have outings with them. Be the fun bonus uncle/aunt.

At some point music criticism decided “pop is bad” was boring in the same way the regular news decided “bad things are bad” was boring and now we get to learn about the secret brilliance of albums you buy at Target

In 2008 he would have been sitting in front of a curtain with RF or ROH logo getting terrible questions about “what it was like 1988” and “what did you hear about Montreal”

Not always, it just means the people in charge don’t have any real skin in the game to keep it alive and are more likely to take risky action. But UFC was a leveraged buyout too and the company is still here. It just means full steam ahead on profits and if we break something and it dies oh well.

Saudi isn’t really doing all this stuff to launder their reputation. They’re doing this because clean energy is coming for them and they’ve got to use their current stack of money to find new goldmines while they can. Best analogy is AOL desperately looking for a big media company to buy in 1998

The eternal issue on the left: there’s always a way bigger crisis to our right, but every now and then we get reminded that the anarchists are fucking stupid beyond words and if we ever one day get power we have to deal with them.

It took me a long time to realize that when people in England discuss the class system over there “middle class” people usually were far more wealthy than the upper class people living in old as hell farm estates on barely functional farm land.

The thing about Kimmel people need to realize is Disney has been wanting to find a buyer for ABC since Iger took back the ceo chair and the affiliate company pulling Kimmel is their likeliest buyer. Disney doesn’t want to be in the tv business anymore.
