You, a simpleton: Jürgen Klopp is the obvious choice for the USMNT

My confederate neighbor told me the submarine keeps drowning his sailors so I asked how many sailors he has and he said he just goes to the navy and gets new sailors afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding sailors to the ocean and then his commanding officer started crying

“The confederacy sent into action the world’s first combat submarine, the CSS Huntley, which sank three times in trials, drowning the crew each time (including its inventor Horace Huntley) before sink a blockade ship near Charleston in 1864 while going down itself for the fourth and last time”

"ANTIFA?" he laughed. "You think I'm ANTIFA?" He blew smoke into the cops' faces as he stubbed out his cigarette on the bare table. "My organization is a thousand times more dangerous. Our name? ABUTTFOR"

It's all over but the how much they're gonna pay him to screw off, there is no way he flies to Cal next week, a place plenty of NFL media will be able to crash the press conferences

One of our adjacent teams at work used to be called Norfolk because they manage an internal tool called Drydock. The convulsions I went through weekly hearing a bunch of Texans read a word on their screen aloud:

a man in a suit and tie is crying and says " look how they massacred my boy "

I'm in about the fourth week of a problem that if there were an adjacent room of people I could walk over to and say "hey, what are y'all using this for," it would be solved in about 15 minutes, I feel this

Other than that I'd probably carve Greater Texas out into its own parent region, the parts of this I know well are super accurate.

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Nah, that's so pathetic it calls back to the old WAC. #PAC12AfterDark is Utah-Calgary.

Oh right, Burns can't wear 8 in Colorado, it's… taken.

OK, after a bunch of Googling, Bernstein, Buonantony and Campbell-Pascall. One crew that's part-time at best.

I'm legit not sure any of that roster other than Hextall (Winnipeg) is based any further west than Toronto.

Nats Park isn't as hard to drive into as it could be, especially if you know what you're doing, but there's Metro a block away, and if you have time and want easy mode there's no reason not to do it that way.

Bruce Dickinson singing the Star-Spangled Banner? That's utterly deranged, but… okay!

I dumped my subscription at the start of the year, but I'd neglected to uninstall the app from my phone. Time to fix that.

It can be profitable for the creators too -- thinking specifically of the kids' programming ecosystem that's always contained mass-produced dreck. But the VC AI economy will build pricing to suck as much of the profit upwards to their layer as they can, for sure.
