get license -> get clients. easy money

I was going to go "no, it's like a 2666 situation," forgetting that the thesis of 2666 is police indifference and coverup in Ciudad Juarez

Are women bourgeois?

Former Commissioner Riley selling out on vouchers, too. Figures.

Heads way up, #MAEdu

look, America is known as a small country. lots of people could know each other at a time when the population was holding steady and shrinking like after WW2

I didn't know Mike Stoklasa had a son

We can keep having this cost of living crisis discussion forever but everyone doing stats shit has to post their salary.

this is the kind of housing they refuse to build for humble individuals like me in Massachusetts

lost time should not be found again

I love driving slow in the right-hand lane and feeling the building rage of the guy behind me who refuses to shift to the left

"broligarchy" is a good word if you're a numbnuts

the Republicans getting rid of the trial Direct File system is such a clear example of the Republicans making everything worse for no reason that it drives me crazy

these "jokes" get repetitive, I know. it's tough to do anything with the knowledge that my position in life is largely my own responsibility. "I drew a good hand and didn't make of it what I wanted to. unlike in a card game, there is no second hand coming"

look, it's simple: the economy is bad because I would like to live alone, but not leave my beloved expensive area, and I would like a do-over on my entire education K through undergrad

I'm so sorry, man. you gave her a good place

best to worst:
1. informed informed person
2. uninformed uninformed person
3. informed uninformed person (unsure what this would look like)
4. uninformed informed person

I always wondered why this painting looked so much like a cel from an animated film, with the characters standing out sharply from the background, and now I know

the algorithm has sent so many innocent men to the damn dog house

beautiful actors and models are fine as hell

just because my fake "vibecession" in which I live with four other guys at 38 years old, is largely due to my own bad educational, social, and career moves back when the economy collapsed in '08 and thereafter, doesn't mean I can't be mad about it

you are a Tea Party guy who helped to radicalize the GOP after 2010. you're part of the reason we're in this mess. if you've repented, that's great, but you shouldn't get a greater say in what a liberal party says and does than your average leftist who has loyally voted Democrat for years

this one would make more sense if the guy weren't drawn as Average Hungarian Schmuck #441. this one reads like "wouldn't it be cool if a babe came onto you in an insane way?" sure, but,

[getting rejected at the bar] that's fine. actually my boys and i were thinking of diminishing and going into the west

"we should have a new Cold War to force liberal reforms again" is the kind of thought you have when you stop reading books and hardly read articles either

Jeff Wilco the public HATED your first album about being a cool guy who gambles. they NEED you to mumble indistinctly about relationships for the follow-up

the cut to the one guy aiming a rifle at Haydon at the end is so funny to me and I don't know why

interesting how the root beer that sounds like "barks" isn't the one that has a dog mascot

even an expert dumbing the field down for a general audience will be wrong relative to the expert standard, though. this is probably a general-audience problem as much as a generalist-writer problem

as true as it may be of The Economist, I wonder if it isn't also true of a lot of serious magazines. the average Perry Anderson piece in the LRB is probably not a substitute for expert analysis
