Obviously gonna grandfather in the Metlife field, which has a long and proud tradition of being made of a special kind of grass that they found at a Superfund site in the 70s and doesn't need water or sun, just the occasional ligament or tendon fed to it.

Almost certainly both!

If his story about not realizing it is a Nazi symbol when he got it is true, he absolutely should have had it touched up to be a heavy metal band logo (or a Grateful Dead one).

For me that's actually the down side. If BG tears the tricep again and has that disability for life, I'll be pretty sad about it. But still love him as an all time Eagle, obviously.

McNabb ruined his legacy by being an idiot and getting DUIs, not playing for other teams. Dawkins's legacy is fully intact. It's fine.

After a media furor, it's revealed it is temporary.

Mike Johnson: "If people were so upset about pedophiles then why haven't they been demanding to see what is on my, House Speaker Mike Johnson's, secret burner laptop that is just full of the most disgusting illegal porn you can imagine?!?"

Mike Johnson: "Suddenly now, they've somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they've imagined, and so they feign outrage."

I did once date a 16 year old, but since I was also 16 at the time, I hardly think that counts as a libertarian phase.

And if he didn't know when he got it, sometime in the intervening decades he could have gotten it altered into like, a Grateful Dead skull or whatever.

Can you imagine him trying to explain it to politico? "Well, it's from a webcomic, sort of a less successful Penny Arcade, which, ok, let me back up..."

I had a communism, specifically the early USSR, phase when I was in 9th grade or so. But I got over it, and also they were on the good side of WWII.
(I don't have a tattoo tho, and if I did I would probably have had it altered in the meantime)

My house is on a steep hill, the only requirement I have for anyone who makes it up and wants candy is that they have some kind of costume. And yes, Amazon delivery guy t-shirt on October 21st counts. Thanks for the pillowcases bro, you want a butterfinger?

Alternatively, make it into the "loss" comic symbol and make the most internet poisoned people go even further insane.

There are a bunch of left leaning pro wrestlers, you can talk to some of them off the record and get some ideas. I'm sure Colt Cabana has thought about what kind of promo you'd do to trash Trump.

What about going on a podcast tho? Surely that will do it!

These MFs should be having a plane skywriting "Donald Trump <3 Jeff Epstein" over Mar a Lago and telling reporters that the rumors about JD and the couch are "concerning if true."

Maybe those restrictions weren't so onerous, huh.

They want to be accelerationists, but I can't help but notice that Walmart isn't paying higher premiums for fire insurance.

But at what cost?

You've never had a tattoo artist try to convince you "in your culture this symbolizes the sun or good luck, according to Wikipedia!"?

The @nytimes.com decided last year what the story was; Trump II was the righteous punishment visited upon their interns and junior staffers and grandchildren for being so annoying about MeToo and BLM, and once they understood that and repented, they could have democracy back.

Just insane thing for a NYT editor to say publicly:

"I don't expect anything to be a silver bullet" but...unless someone shows me each of these protests the nihilism posting will continue until morale improves.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 1d

I don't expect anything to be a silver bullet and protests are always part of resistance. We've had 3 of these now and each one continues to take place in a situation that is meaningfully worse without any real change in the trajectory. Authoritarian consolidation continues unabated.

Lotta people talking about if he jumped into the throw or not, I'm mad he didn't get his hands on the ball and run it back. Seven points is a lot in a baseball game!

Just enjoy the good times, things usually work out in the end!
-A Philadelphia fan with that brain tumor the Momento guy had but I only remember January and February of this year.

My guess is that watching the film is not the culprit so much as the incorrect confidence that these guys have in their ability to learn from it. Noticing subtle trends and such _feels_ smarter and more useful than noticing that someone's passes are caught more often, but maybe it's not.

Compared to a regular hare, or compared to like, a pet bunny?
