The strike in, tight shoulders, and the fact that he needed an ENTIRE BAND to back him up probably says he doesn’t practice much these days. Bagpipes are not a “put it away for months at a time and pull it out and think it’ll be okay” type of instrument. Plus, I’d bet money that his drones were plugged and his reed… Read more

Took him long enough to work out where the bag is supposed to go. Read more

We remembered Swiss, we just left it off as a diss because we all agreed it sucks and is bullshit. Read more

Ha! We are all of us prescriptivists about something, it seems!

I’m mostly a descriptivist when it comes to grammar away from my immediate professional obligations; so long as I know what you meant to say, I don’t much care how you say it.

I do not know why it is, but “Do X” has gotten under my skin in a way most things… Read more

Touche.

I can live with that. But just like Giselle bounced back in her own franchise, don’t be surprised if Pete loses in the primaries but somehow becomes even more popular. Read more

You messed up, Jack: Pete Buttigieg is obviously Giselle. Everybody finds her irresistibly attractive, enigmatic and pleasant to be around, and are even more impressed when she turns out to be smart, brave and capable in a fight. She’s also part of a cute couple and willing to sacrifice everything for her man. She… Read more

This was absolutely horrific thank you Read more

Jack Crosbie, an antihero if I’ve ever seen one, is being groomed as a successor to Bill Simmons, and has written his Magnus Opus criticizing the fact that Deckard Shaw killed Han, despite the fact that he forgot Han.

This is your magnum opus, Jack. You might as well give up writing after this, its all downhill from here. As correct as this is, the real heroes are your graphics folks. Read more

Bill Simmons just convened a staff meeting to scream at Ringer staffers “HOW DID THEY BEAT US TO THIS?!?!?!?!!?” Read more

Is Donald Trump going to invade Iran? The most likely answer, like so many these days, is a resounding “who knows.” Read more

What’s your point? We can mitigate multiple death rates at the same time. Read more

Come on, you know how the old saying goes: You can’t break up unaccountable tech monopolies and forgive all student debt and make public colleges free and change the fundamental nature of corporate governance and stall the escalating affordable housing crisis and make politicians more accountable to voters rather… Read more

I have a text string going with fiends, for over a year at this point, who all live in the greater MKE area. Whenever stories about that place pop up, we share them with the hashtag #sconsin. Read more

Ten egg whites is no big deal, esp if they aren’t jumbo. You should always be getting jumbo eggs because the jumbo part is just more of the white stuff which is where all the protein is located. Ten yolks is a big deal and this guy should beware. Too many yolks. Read more

US officials tell me the threats from Iran included “specific and credible” intelligence that Iranian forces and proxies were targeting US forces

Speaking as a former Navy man I can confidently state that, whatever the threat may be, the crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln Strike Group is totally up to the daunting of tasks of playing Fortnite, smoking, looking up internet porn, and masturbating in their racks, that they will be facing in the coming months.

I don’t have an editor at nights, so sometimes things slip by, but thanks for pointing this out! Read more

I was in the Navy and this is the only interesting thing I ever saw. I was in the Naval Guard force tasked with guarding the ICMBs on a Sub base. Inside the magazine storage area there are 6 100ft guard towers manned 24/7/365 by armed sailors and marines. After guard mount, I arrived at the tower I was relieving and lo… Read more
