I saw this headline earlier and scrolled past it because I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ONION.
I haven’t started Season 2 yet but I *loved* Season 1!
Saw Thunderbolts last night and it has replaced Winter Soldier as my #1 Marvel movie. I can’t wait to talk about it when every thought I have won’t be a major spoiler.
I was today years old when I learned that “restaurateur” does not have an “n” in it. 🤦🏻♀️

Me: Ok, time to have a nice relaxing Sunday evening so I start the week well rested.
The Kings: Best we can do is overtime playoff hockey.
Ok but just IMAGINE the shenanigans a poltergeist could get into at a breakfast bar.
I just spent an hour at the DMV and it was absolutely PACKED, but everyone was being patient and polite. The two dudes who met in the line behind me compared notes about the best AA meetings because one guy was new to town and didn’t like the one he tried.
These are the moments that give me hope.
In person: The LA Kings winning the 2014 Stanley Cup in Game 5, after playing all 7 games in each of the previous 3 rounds. The team was so exhausted and banged up that they were playing by sheer force of will.
TV: Freddie Freeman's walk off grand slam in Game 1 of the World Series last year.

Charles Koch and Leonard Leo just filed one!
You know when the surviving Koch brother has turned on the monster he created that things have really gone off the rails.

It’s too early in the season for me to be this stressed out 🤣
Can someone help me understand why this Dodgers / Phillies game hasn’t been called yet? It looks like it’s pouring and pitchers are fighting to get traction on the mound.
i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

A lot of people could learn from the example of local L.A. legend Jeremy Frisch, when, in an open community meeting hosted by the LAPD in the wake of the George Floyd protests, ended his comment with, "Suck my dick and choke on it. I yield my time, FUCK YOU."
