Plus if you fly through SeaTac in a suit some asshat TSA guy will give you grief for the nails in your shoes which set off the detector.
Yes. The same shoes you have worn through airports all over this country.
Fuck that guy.

A roundtrip LAX-JFK flight in the late 60s was around $3K in today’s dollars. The people who wore suits on those flights were the people who regularly wore suits. Complaining about informally-dressed fliers is complaining that the wrong sorts of people are flying today.

C'mon over. We will change your tune if you have #ThanksgivingDinnerAtTheTrailer
My Thanksgiving hot take:
A lot of people who say they don't like turkey have just never had a turkey cooked by someone who knows what the hell they're doing.

In addition, none of these capitalist success stories survived on their own.
They are supported by governmental infrastructure in the legal, regulatory, and financial realms.
It's unbelievable that the myth of capitalist success is swallowed by so many.

“Survival of the fittest”
is often used to justify capitalist society, but this wasn’t a phrase that Darwin used.
He described it as “better designed for an immediate, local environment" and wrote of groups that survived through empathy and sharing rather than greed.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

A recent study at the University of Michigan has shown that intelligent people use profanity at a far higher rate than stupid motherfuckers.

It's harvard, they should fire him and just give all those super kids A+ for the semester.
They will spend their lives knowing they are better than everyone else because, well, harvard.

I’m prepared to be surprised but I doubt Larry Summers will teach next semester or in future semesters and I think it’s probably the right call to have him finish out the classes he’s teaching this semester given that it’s over in like two weeks

So having a dirtball head coach running a KGB style sign stealing operation is bad but doesn't influence games cost you games but having a dirtball head coach who gives $11,000 to a few players results in vacated wins.
Got it, NCAA compliance, got it.
