So, like, you get ten seconds in and hope that guy steps on a Lego barefoot every day for the rest of his life? Is that what they’re going for?

“If I can get seconds, thirds and fourths on that raw milk now? Ooh boy!”

Bryce Harper on the birth of his fourth child, a boy, last week: "I've got an incredible wife, man. She pushed that thing out in three pushes and 30 seconds. She's an absolute monster doing it. Women, man, what a breed.
I'm serious, it's an incredible thing."

weather and MLB's terrible planning made it so I can't watch the rest of the Mariners game despite the $60 or whatever I paid for DirecTV this month. Why is everything bad

clearly safe, but might as well challenge it becuase that means there's like a 55% chance they'll overturn it

Trump: "We call them the water drugs. The drugs that come in through water. They're not coming. There are no boats anymore. Frankly, there are no fishing boats. There are no boats out there period, if you want to know the truth. Does anybody go fishing anymore?"

Unfortunately the waiter came up to ask me how it was while I was looking at my phone and I was startled, so I can never be seen here or on this side of the town I live in ever again

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

I was ready to rip Kimmel apart for having Aziz on after he went to the Riyadh comedy festival, but he actually asked decent questions about it, and Aziz had decent answers? I still think he obviously shouldn't have gone, but he comes off 1000 times better and more thoughtful than Bill fucking Burr
