We need far fewer Kirks and many more Spocks.
Every time I get an update on the Sherron Moore situation it gets funnier and more outstanding. 😂
How does someone like this fail upward so spectacularly, and what is up with the entire Michigan football admin structure? Didn’t this guy replace the ethically questionable Harbaugh?

I don’t care one bit how a person “got in” to this country, legally, illegally etc. That status is changeable with a few keystrokes.
What matters is whether the person is an asset or a liability. In fact, I’d say most “illegals” are worth more than many dumbass MAGA hillbillies in rural Alabama.

Look, the Dems have only had 40 years to think of a compelling, progressive, consistent, popular platform to counterbalance the GOP’s rightward surge.
Y’all are just so impatient.

Anybody else in customer service find the extreme explosive anger and defiance about showing valid ID to be reaching new levels of bizarre?
Maybe I’m just of the generation where having valid ID on you to accomplish tasks was never considered strange or unduly unreasonable.

Remember when conservatives were all about personal freedom and keeping government’s nose out of people’s business?

Why do you think the "middle class" exists? to go against their own kind.
Culture Wars are a cottage industry aren't they.

Maybe we have always been this stupid and had just gotten lucky, despite ourselves.
I mean, the mayor in Jaws was STILL MAYOR in Jaws 2.
We consistently re-elect the same people, time after time. The names change, sure, but we ensure the status quo despite all our bitching that we want different.

It wasn’t so very long ago that any ONE of these things happening hourly out of this Administration would have been enough to sink the entire thing in disgrace.
My question is: have we learned? Have we re-established vigilance and our uncrossable lines?
Who ARE we, now?

While it’s basically a full time job continually listing the torrent of criminal and immoral shit coming out of this Presidency, the Dems should spend a little effort saying how they would be better and different.
There are still too many voters who condemn both parties as equally terrible.

I don’t know why conservatives pretend to be anti-drugs. Not only are drugs pure free market capitalism, but it disproportionately harms the poor classes while enriching the wealthy.
On paper, it all sounds right up their alley.

All things considered, I’d rather live in Skyrim than this world.
Let’s face it, a place where I can just solve every problem with a warhammer is a definite upgrade.

It breaks my heart to see the Left change so much over the years. A big advantage the Left had was a much more intelligent and relaxed sense of humor, which, sadly, they’ve completely abandoned.
I have watched us descend into prissy scolds and become as dour as any moral crusaders on the Right.

I don’t want teachers, doctors, nurses, researchers or any other of the science-adjacent professions to be anything other than skeptical atheists.
We can’t keep indulging magical thinking at such a critical cultural point. We need to shut the door on such silliness and get very serious.

I will always mock bicycle riders for their little helmets and spandex outfits.
When me and the boys played football in the street, we didn’t put on a full kit of pads.
You’ll be fine in shorts and t-shirts, you ponces. You’re only going 4mph on a city street anyway.

I have to assist people who can’t remember their own passwords that they made up themselves a week ago.
I know damn well these people were fully capable of memorizing 4,000 friends’ phone numbers growing up.
