A lot of the stuff was witless and childish, but there was more diversity in network show premises. Now it’s CITY Fire/Police/MDs or young professionals in NYC. Before you had butler as payment for an accident, manny, cousin from the Balkans, 2 dads because mom died after hooking up with 2 dudes

I think it’s very unlikely this guy ever scored

I mean this is basically the “Reconstruction Amendments don’t count because Ohio wasn’t technically a state” level of analysis

Partitioning a state (VA) without the consent of that state’s legislature is prohibited by Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1 of the Constitution.

Both Virginia’s legislative chambers and governorship are controlled by Democrats, who would not approve such a partition.

I wonder if they figured out who Nick Saban is

Dumbass right winger Will Chamberlain tweeted saying “The proper response from Donald Trump to these Virginia shenanigans is to announce that the retrocession of Arlington and Alexandria to Virginia was unconstitutional and that they are and always will be part of the federal district”

This is the wildest response

Mets

In fairness, both Carolinas are OGs

And Rogers owns basically every Toronto team in American sports leagues

Fox used to own the Dodgers

It is very funny to see supposedly historically knowledgeable conservatives say, “It would be unprecedented for one party to create new states for partisan gain and change the size of the Supreme Court!”

Bitch, why do you think there are two Dakotas

Hopefully Tucker’s lack of having broad pop cultural appeal lowers his ceiling

Isn’t that already the case? If no one read Maggie Haberman’s stories, the NYT wouldn’t pay her. It’s also why Taylor Lorenz stayed on at WaPo until she was an HR problem, she got clicks

I’m not saying the argument that Reagan’s military buildup cause the USSR to go broke would persuade me (like I said, I am not endorsing the view). But at least his presidency was briefly before the USSR fell, unlike Carter and Vietnam

While not endorsing, “Reagan won the Cold War,” you can at least make a credible temporal case for it. FDR was dead when WWII ended, but I wouldn’t think a person saying, “FDR won WWII,” is crazy

The value of the land that would need to be bulldozed to add more lanes is way more than the value of a couple lanes

That is one hell of an expensive short squeeze

Apple definitely spends millions on consultants. There is almost certainly a guy who they pay for “what sort of cheap bribe can we give Trump” advice

He sounds like Tim Meadows as the Ladies Man

Right, but in a sense this is similar to learning to write HTML by hand in the 90s. If I was a web developer in the 00s, there would be a slight advantage, but for the most part, you didn’t lose much if you didn’t

I think it really depends on your role. Like I’m a product manager and I dick around with some AI stuff, but aside from summarizing stuff or using it for meeting notes, I wouldn’t lose much if I didn’t. I’ve done some vibe coding, but I’m (wisely) not allowed to drop anything in test, let alone prod

I was speaking less about the companies and VCs, who are talking their book, and more about journos like Derek Thompson and Megan McArdle

That’s what I don’t get about the, “You have to adopt it now or you’ll be left behind!” takes. Nothing happened to the people that didn’t start using the internet until 2002. And me knowing how to build a website with HTML in notepad was basically a useless skill by then

I will say that 90% of the reason I was willing to spend the extra money to get a Nest Protect is because it would tell me when the battery was dying

Oh yeah, you’ve gotta shoot your shot during seven minutes in heaven

This is 50-50 flirting or just messing with you

In the 2000s before the existence of sites like ThePointsGuy or SeatGuru, it was a great way to learn about awards redemptions, seat configurations on different flights and other travel tips. You just had to know when to dip out
