This will be tough for HoI to parse since he thinks "Racism is part of the negative reaction to Meghan Markle" is equivalent to "Racism is the only reason for the negative reaction to Meghan Markle."

Ye gods it's so fucking ugly. So funnily enough I drove a Tesla for a few days last week. My car was in the shop and we went for a rental. EVs were actually the cheapest rentals available. Later on the rental dude (Hertz) told us that they were abandoning EVs because the replacement parts were so delayed. Anyway, I actually rented a Bolt but they only had a Tesla Model 3 available. I didn't like it. Interior felt cheap and rickety. There was persistent noise leakage behind my ear like a hissing 8-track (hi, I'm old). I hated the fucking touchscreen being in charge of pretty much every car function except lights and shifting. I hated the stupid fucking flush door handles. Acceleration was nice, I'll give them that, and acceleration is important to me (I've rejected prospective cars I otherwise liked in the past because they were so anemic). At times I really wanted to rip into some curves, but I had groceries sliding around in the back. It took some adjustment to the fact that the car would pretty much brake if I let off the gas. The brake pedal was almost superfluous. So I continue to feel confident in our "not a Tesla" policy for Mrs Gabriel's next car. We're thinking a Hyundai or Kia at this point. Probably can't wait until the VW electric bus comes out (maybe I'll get one after I've driven my current car into the ground).

Come now. Ideology taking over science in medicine is nothing new. You're just alarmed because you feel it's "woke" ideology. Just like the age-old practice of social ostracism and "cancellation" suddenly became a major problem because it started to affect people with views you sympathized with.

Amazing, her reign wasn't even long enough to trace the second lightning bolt in the SS symbol.

It seems her previous book, "How We Fucked Britain in 10 Years" didn't sell so well.

I assume that when the pandemic came around, he used his vast powers of research and deduction, snorted powdered anal polyps to avoid Covid, and got called home.

This is definitely true of my chili and pasta fagioli (though the latter congeals into casserole rather than a soup after more than a couple of hours anyway).

Surely somewhere out there, Meghan Markle has been furiously washing her hands and muttering, "Out, out, damn spot..."

Curious: is that because the freezer time makes it more tender/congealed?

"One of these things is not like the others, one of these things does not belong..."

Aaron Donald, right? Not Sam Darnold?

Come on now. I'm not thrilled with Biden running again but they are not at all comparable. What a ridiculous oversimplification. This lazy "both of them suck" dogshit thinking is a large part of the decline of American political culture.

Mmmm, never thought of peanut butter but I bet that would be great with sliced up bananas, which is my usual oatmeal addition. We also do steel cut oats, which my wife introduced me to. I grew up on Quaker rolled oats. Being New Englanders, we usually sweeten our oatmeal with a bit of maple syrup. And blueberries when they're in season.

I am firmly convinced that the "Nazi child masturbating in the bathroom" from "Knives Out" is based on Charlie Kirk.

The Justice Department will send him a strongly worded note.

My wife seems pretty convinced by the Instagram pics she posts and the quality of food we get there.

The article I read on the Athletic said as much, Atlanta likes their GM and wouldn't want to demote him. I struggle to think of an owner foolish or desperate enough to give Belichick full personnel control. Maybe Tepper? But he's already hired someone and even for him, that'd be a quick firing. Btw I worked with Tepper's son many years ago at ButtCurt's game company. He was unassuming and competent, you'd have no idea he was the kid of a ravening jackal.

So Belichick had two interviews with the Falcons, and it seemed like people thought he was going to get the job? Now they've hired Raheem Morris instead. We may see Belichick and Vrabel both without HC jobs for next season. Do you suppose Arthur Blank wanted Belichick to feel like the job was right there, in his grasp, before taking it away?

Holy shit, God hates Buffalo.

That's a fumble, yo.

Celtics-Spurs tonight was my first look at Wemby, and his range and reach is startling. In the 4th I saw him casually swat away a Jaylen Brown dunk, without jumping. Then he dunked over Luke Kornet from a distance that other players would shoot a hook.

I assume he gets dipped in regenerative black goo like Baron Harkonnen.

Creeping Jesus, this was a stale and useless argument the first hundred fucking times too.

Clearly the answer is a discreet jersey tug. ETA: I am surprisingly touched by the Lions fans tearing up in the stands. Including the guy with the 68 year season tickets who saw the last championship.

I am rooting for the Lions but I think Puka Nacua might be my new favorite player. Always like to see a Pacific brother doing well.
