The Swamp

Maybe they need more respectful fans.

I forgot to pledge, so I just donated now. Others can do that too! (unless I'm the only one who failed to do it the proper way)

Yeah, I sure hope J-lo then doesn't get pissed at the people that are actually navigating the situation properly with the zipper merge. People that get all road rage'y about people merging at the zipper point are maddening. You are actually exacerbating the problem by getting over so early. Yep. Tr...

Yeah, he was a piece of shit in high school too. He got picked on a lot, which made me want to feel sorry for him, but then I'd talk to him and realize he mostly had it coming.

From an idiot high-school classmate of mine from Alabama.

Exactly. Rehiring him was the weirdest decision, so obviously logic and evidence aren't at play here.

Pretty impressive the way he juggled her. Plus athlete.

But, people ... you have to have SOME situational awareness. How do you not notice a bull of that size coming at you before it hits you? It wasn't even sprinting at her.

I missed the game, but there's no excuse for a team with that kind of talent getting spanked 5-1 by pretty much any country. Definitely not Colombia.

If I'm reading this right, it looks like the final 8 teams include 3 ACC and 4 SEC. And there's one game today to decide the 8th spot ... and it's between an ACC and SEC team.

UVA is on to Omaha. If I'm counting right, the ACC is 6-1 so far in the super regionals. FSU is through as well. UNC could clinch tonight. Only Clemson has a loss.

Fair, and I oversimplified it. But one way to think about it is to look at pictures of kids (teenagers, really) from before the 60s. They largely dressed like their parents. They listened to the same music and read the same books and newspapers. That started changing mid-century with the rise of roc...

I read somewhere that it was in the 60s that we got our first generation that didn't want to grow up to be like their parents. Kids weren't all acting like little adults and trying to grow up as fast as they can. And that freaked out the older population at the time, which was the cause of much of t...

In light of Mr D's mention of midpoints the other day, 1984 is the midpoint between D-Day and today. To me, it seems obvious that the world changed WAY more from 1944 to 1984 than from 1984 to now. But is that just because I lived the latter? Obviously, in 1984 computers were still pretty new, ther...

II've seen those. Both were great.

I've fallen behind on my Star Wars watching. I think the last thing I watched was the Boba Fett series. Didn't watch the latest Mando series or Ahsoka. And I only ever watched a handful of episodes of the cartoon series (only Clone Wars). Should I give this new one a try? Should I catch up on the ot...

Yeah, I've watched a few of those videos as well. They do a great job of showing how these talented folks hear music differently than the rest of us. I saw this one today. They gave this dude Tool! It's very funny. I haven't watched it all the way through yet (it's nearly 30 minutes), but he spends ...

Lost in semis. Incredible just to tag along. Fans! And ghsa official complaints I won't soon let go. Best experience and he's seen the level. Well see if he can reach it. Club tournament fun but second level so muted. Medals! Trinkets to the kids. But great new highlight reel. https://youtu.be/p_Cr...

Something happened to/with Biz Markie over the past week where he doesn't want to go in our backyard, is showing a much reduced desire for affection and is just generally skittish. He's deaf so he's always been a little prone to being surprised, but this is heightened. We can't point to a specific ...

The weird thing to me is that the WNBA has always had white stars. Lobo, Taurasi, Bird, Stewart, Plum, Jackson, etc. I know the difference is that Clark got the ESPN treatment in college and is therefore more popular, but the idea that she's some sort of white savior is odd. I guess it's just furthe...

Unbelievable. I had to Google Prosper, TX. A town of 37K people. Think of how many they could run over in that thing!

Yeah, that was my reaction as well.

Recession babies (or non-babies) wouldn't be hitting college applications just yet. That might lead to another college death surge in a few years though.

The NIH got that money or "the scientists" and Fauci got it? It's an important distinction.

So, in effect, college athletes are on one-year contracts. I wonder if the next logical step is multi-year NIL contracts that tie the kids to one school for the period of the contract? they've always effectively been on one-year contracts. nothing was stopping an athlete from transferring previousl...

It's so cool to see how electric cars are kicking the auto industry in the nads. I think most people, me included, didn't even realize how much of a shakeup that industry needed.

For those not on social media, photos from my latest trip to Europe are posted here . Those are great pics. I visited Venice for a long weekend last summer. Such an amazing place. We did a glass-blowing tour/lesson on Murano which was an awesome experience. We made our own lopsided bowls that we us...

So, in effect, college athletes are on one-year contracts. I wonder if the next logical step is multi-year NIL contracts that tie the kids to one school for the period of the contract? I don't think there's any question that that is coming. And back-loaded NIL contract as well. The schools need to ...

Yeah, do you think he meant to hit the top of the ball and have it hop up like that? I know that pros often hit down on half volleys, but I don't recall seeing that on a regular shot off the grass.

lol. You came back after two years to post that?

I’m pretty sure this means he can’t vote for himself in Florida. Lol

The hope is that this trims just a few more Trump voters off. He won in 2016 by getting non-regular voters out for him. I have to hope that Trump fatigue and, dare I dream, distaste will lower his numbers. Of course, there's also Biden fatigue and the extremely poorly considered attacks from left on...

I misread that as DIII, not DII. Definitely fewer schools there. Still, it's pretty cool. Sorta like Denver winning in D1.

Holy shit. It was wild watching that come in live on CNN.

I've had an email thread the last couple of days with an old friend of mine. He was probably my best friend in high school and for several years after. We faded apart after he got increasingly more aggressive about his increasingly right-wing politics. We hardly every communicate anymore even though...

Yeah, it's a back-of-the-throat thing unlike the Spanish r.

Instagram videos not having a volume control in the browser is the single worst product design of the last 20 years. Drives me fucking nuts.

Interesting. It's great to see the spread.
