Thirty years ago I was on a high-volume high-aggro mailing list, and when someone lost it like this the tradition was for someone to take the text of the message, alphabetize it, paste it into a reply, and say “these words didn’t appear to be in any particular order so I alphabetized them for you”

Twenty-four years ago today, on October 25, 2002, Minnesota lost Senator Paul Wellstone. We also lost his wife, Sheila, and their daughter, Marcia. Campaign staffers. Today, take moment to honor Wellstone's amazing legacy.

Except he didn't fund it, I did, paying a much higher tax rate than the white supremacist. Those thrusters are SpaceX tech for which we—not him—have paid ~$31 billion.

This is the most masculine video on the internet right now

ESPN had Ted Cruz on 'College GameDay' in a conversation with Rece Davis for nearly 10 minutes. Cruz was heavily booed by the crowd -- and heard "Ted, you suck!" chants -- in Austin.

As we all watched the horror of our fellow Americans being murdered 25 years ago today, never forget that the Republican Party led by Bush immediately began salivating over curtailing civil liberties and lying us into war in Iraq.

Just watched an old woman holding two canes step off a bus. She wore a long skirt the hem of which was printed as a piano’s keys. Then the hydraulics that had lowered the bus’s front end exerted themselves & the bus rose. I thought, whoever invented that, the kneeling bus, what a great soul.

In six months time, the US bombing of Somalia, escalated by Donald Trump in recent months "will rank as the longest foreign war the U.S. has ever fought," writes Spencer Ackerman for Zeteo. So why is no one talking about this particular 'forever war'?

“Please stop feeling” is a hell of a way to start a discussion. But I’m still confused about the rest of your points. Is the argument here that we shouldn’t enjoy sports because we might be disappointed in the behavior of some of the players/teams/organizations?
