my wife works with ben jacobs' brother holy poo poo both of them are legitimately crazy smart and really good at their jobs :(

In a world that's been a running circus since January, that audio recording loving zapped my brain. I thought that Mike Flynn sabotaging a military operation was insane, I thought Comcast filing false FCC commentary was insane. I was so loving wrong

Does the data range occupy that range? If it was a bar chart I would agree, but it's a loving plot. Adding the remaining 5 would just add whitespace and not change the interpretation of the chart.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!

Given the bizarro political landscape we now live in, I wonder how Gianforte's team would have spun this had it not happened so close to the election.

Barkley is a national treasure. He got pulled over for running a stop sign and responded to the cop he was in a hurry cause the prostitute he just picked up gives the best blowjob in the world. Later at the station he remarked "I'm not going to lie, I have had a few beers"

They refer to themselves as "centipedes".

It's actually due to the name of the song Trump fanatics used in the early propaganda videos they made for him. Specifically Centipede, by Knife Party.

I didn't know the reason until right now and still don't really understand why but I guess it's short for centipede. They call themselves that for some reason or another.
