  - hush - Spawn Feb 24, 09:46
- LOL -- nm - Max Feb 24, 09:39
You know how we often say, "What the eff is *wrong* with people"? Here's one answer from anthropology (the book "Sapiens") -- (link) - mara Feb 24, 09:37
Here's what happened to to woman who started #CancelColbert -- (link) - Spawn Feb 24, 09:32 3
- That's pretty f'd up. - JaxSean Feb 24, 09:51 1
  - Those two things are not equal though. -- nm - Roger More Feb 24, 10:00
- I am entirely neutral on this - and all other matters. -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 09:36
Where's the Fair Use aka #WTFU is starting to burn down YouTube's house of content creators. -- nm - Qale Feb 24, 09:25 6
- I don't know what this means -- nm - decline Feb 24, 09:26 5
  - YouTube's laxness allows copyright holders (or even those pretending to be) to pull and/or monetize videos made by others. - Qale Feb 24, 09:30 4
    - You heard about Team Four Star? This is the problem with an automated system and "shoot first" philosophy. - Mop Feb 24, 09:34 3
      - What YouTube doesn't seem to understand is that if they don't do something, it'll go back to just cat videos and America's Home Video rejects. -- nm - Qale Feb 24, 09:37 2
        
        America will be ecstatic -- nm - decline Feb 24, 09:38 1
        
        Trump! -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 09:39
has this been posted? vox on trump. -- (link) - sp commander amanda jones Feb 24, 09:21 6
- And that's why Ezra Klein is my favorite. -- nm - David Feb 24, 09:40
- One thing I meant to mention...I saw a reporter from MSNBC approach Trump. He got next to him and started what seemed to be a standard, allowed - Mel Profit Feb 24, 09:27 3
  - I said it on a previous board, but it got LIR. With the risk of going Godwin, there is an eerie feeling of watching something like the rise of Hitler - pmb Feb 24, 09:35 2
    - Hitler had goons and brown shirts who harassed dissenters in public, beat and vandalized much like Islamic groups kidnap, gun down non believers -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 24, 13:59
    - Oh, I don't think that's Godwin inasmuch as an apt evaluation of the situation. -- nm - David Feb 24, 09:45
- I learned a new word here, discursive -- nm - decline Feb 24, 09:22
Heh. ESPN suggests Falcons should look at MegaQuon or Braxton Miller at #17. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 24, 09:20 5
- Braxton ripped up the Senior Bowl but he's still a convert to the WR position. - ML Feb 24, 09:23 4
  - Atlanta's in a spot where we're down two picks, so we can't risk projects. - David Feb 24, 09:35
  - With Coleman now not running the 40, he might be the 1st WR off the board. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 24, 09:25 2
    - I'll bet you on that. - ML Feb 24, 09:26 1
      - Not confident enough to bet - Strongbad Feb 24, 09:27
"A new study suggests that there are around 700 quintillion planets in the universe, but only one like Earth." -- (link) - ML Feb 24, 09:14 6
- And by that, they mean only one has developed the Cuban sandwich. - Reagen Feb 24, 09:45 1
  - It's got two types of pig! Two! -- nm - David Feb 24, 09:48
- I doubt they really have enough data to calculate that with any degree of accuracy. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:17 1
  - Denier! -- nm - decline Feb 24, 09:19
- So, only 1 flat one, right? -- nm - decline Feb 24, 09:16
- *calculates those odds* -- nm - Strongbad Feb 24, 09:15
"Brian Eno will cover Velvet Underground on Titanic-inspired new solo LP, 'The Ship'" - Spawn Feb 24, 09:05 2
- That's NY Times Crossword Superstar Brian Eno. - Negabaronic Middle-Aged Forehead Feb 24, 09:24
- It'll be the greatest album ever! -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 09:07
"Jacksonville Jaguars Player Says He Is Sorry After Video Involving 2 Women Surfaces" - ML Feb 24, 09:02 1

- "Cops." - Name Withheld by Request Feb 24, 09:06 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - To be fair, I haven't focused in on Bernie's last few speeches enough to dispute. I'll watch closer to extend the discussion at a later date. - Name Withheld by Request Feb 24, 09:32 1
      - [deleted]
I heard on the radio this morning that Trump has spent zero dollars on Ads in Super Tuesday states. Is this the end of the political Ad era? - decline Feb 24, 08:57 28
- Nope, unless another celebreality star runs in the future who can garner free press, and even then the novelty may have worn off. -- nm - ty97 Feb 24, 09:01
- Hell no. There aren't but a handful of Donald Trumps out there, if that. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 24, 08:58 26
  - I have one word for you... - Spawn Feb 24, 09:01 25
    - She's too nice and popular. No way she'd sully herself for this. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:03 6
      - Nobody likes Mark Cuban, though. The more I think about it, she is the best option. Hugely successful in business, well liked, female, black... - Spawn Feb 24, 09:12 5
        
        I like Mark Cuban -- nm - groiny Feb 24, 09:37 2
        
        I like him, but he is not a likable guy. And I am here at ground zero of his launching point. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:39 1
        
        that makes no sense -- nm - groiny Feb 24, 09:39
        
        Oh I think she'd be a great choice. -- nm - Remlik Feb 24, 09:26
        
        Yeah, she's got the pedigree. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:14
    - I'd vote for Oprah -- nm - decline Feb 24, 09:02 2
      - me too. I trust her. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 24, 09:20 1
        
        Honestly if Trump were to somehow win it would make total sense for her to run against him. -- nm - pmb Feb 24, 09:37
    - And you get a healthcare! And you get a healthcare! And you get a healthcare! -- nm - ty97 Feb 24, 09:02 14
      - Obama did it! -- nm - David Feb 24, 09:04 2
        
        So you're saying healthcare is only coming from the minorities? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:05 1
        
        He doesn't count. -- nm - Ben Carson Feb 24, 09:07
      - Honestly. She and maybe Clooney are the ones I think of as being able to have that kind of pull. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:03 10
        
        Tyler Perry? -- nm - Strongbad Feb 24, 09:17
        
        Just her, I think. No one's buying Nestle because Clooney's hawking nespresso. -- nm - Roger More Feb 24, 09:17
        
        Alec Baldwin! -- nm - Strongbad Feb 24, 09:11 1
        
        too douchey - decline Feb 24, 09:15
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        If he is a hit as Batman, maybe. - Spawn Feb 24, 09:10
        
        Tom Hanks -- nm - decline Feb 24, 09:06 3
        
        A few years back, maybe. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:07 2
        
        Meryl Streep? -- nm - Max Feb 24, 09:08 1
        
        No, it needs to be an entertainer with crossover appeal. Do we ever hear anything about Meryl other than her acting? Seems like no. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:09
Mark Hamill spoils Episode VIII -- (link) - budice Feb 24, 08:56 1
- Star Wars Episode VIII: Space Bear -- nm - Ender Feb 24, 09:49
Repost because. -- (link) - Shaun Feb 24, 08:56 [youtube]
Remember the 3-year-old Egyptian kid sentenced to life? - Mop Feb 24, 08:56 2
- He's escaped! Last seen riding on the back of an angry leopard. -- nm - Max Feb 24, 08:57 1
  - This sounds like the start to a great Air Bud style franchise of straight-to-video movies. -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 09:00
"Room is the best picture of the year" -- (link) - sweet baboo Feb 24, 08:48 6
- Jack isn't 11 in the film. He's 5. -- nm - Inigo Feb 24, 08:53 4
  - right? who thinks that is 11? -- nm - Andie Feb 24, 08:56 3
    - I was thinking "maybe he imdb'd the actor and he's NOW 11"... but nope, he's still just 9. -- nm - Ender Feb 24, 09:54
    - and (i guess spoilers) - Andie Feb 24, 09:18
    - They're using a base-4 numbering system. -- nm - Negabaronic Middle-Aged Forehead Feb 24, 08:59
- How did I know this was going to be from Slate? - David Feb 24, 08:49
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM -- (link) - ML Feb 24, 08:46 5
- I suggest everyone stock up on hockey sticks. -- nm - Reagen Feb 24, 08:53 2
  - My problem is that I felt really bad for that robot. I need to toughen up or I've got no chance. -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 08:59 1
    - You're the first to go at the end of the 2nd Act. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Feb 24, 09:07
- "today’s Marty McFly, a teenager born in the late 90s, would be much more out of place in 1985 than the movie’s Marty McFly was in 1955." -- nm - Max Feb 24, 08:51
- the end is nigh -- nm - decline Feb 24, 08:49
Hypothetical. Obama nominates a moderate jurist to SCOTUS and GOP obstructs. Then, by some stroke of madness, Trump is obviously going to win. - Mop Feb 24, 08:44 11
- no they will not. McConnell and Grassley will stick to their guns -- nm - decline Feb 24, 08:48 1
  - And if SB 2811 passes, they'll be sticking to their guns *literally*. -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 09:00
- I hereby submit The Rock for consideration. -- nm - The Donald Feb 24, 08:46 8
  - "The Rock is stronger. But Nolan Ryan's wise. ... Presidenting is hard!" - Palm Beach Feb 24, 08:55
  - Hey now! Hear the man out. -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 08:49
  - It doesn't matter what the Chief Justice thinks! -- nm - David Feb 24, 08:48 5
    - He'll be the Chief Justice AND the Secretary of Defense. That's how badass The Rock is! -- nm - Diva Feb 24, 08:52 3
      - I want the woman who is the the Sec of Def in 'Olympus has Fallen' as...the Sec of Def. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 24, 09:45
      - (I did regret using Chuck on B2 as he would be better suited for the Court) -- nm - The Donald Feb 24, 08:53 1
        
        Sec. of State Norris is coming for a visit! Quick hide everything. We don't want to piss *him* off. -- nm - zork Feb 24, 08:56
    - The Rock rules that Jack Dawson should shut his mouth and know his role! *Bangs Chair as a gavel!* -- nm - Remlik Feb 24, 08:51
"You don't win the nomination by how many states you win" -- (link) - sweet baboo Feb 24, 08:44 29
- You don't win a football game by how many points you score... but you gotta score some points. -- nm - Reagen Feb 24, 08:48 2
  - I think the closer analogy would be how many quarters you win, but yeah, points are kinda needed. - zork Feb 24, 08:53
  - Especially if your defense is a sieve. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 08:48
- The only good news for him is that Romney improved as a candidate from 2008 to 2012. - David Feb 24, 08:47 24
  - For the most part, he's got a good candidacy going...he's just got a bullshit cycle - Will Hunting Feb 24, 08:55 1
    - I preferred Rubio to Bush, but I'm not convinced that without Trump, Bush doesn't run a better campaign. Trump really nutted him in the fall. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Feb 24, 09:44
  - he's too much of a narcissist to run again if he loses. he's already quitting the senate -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 24, 08:49 21
    - I don't think people run for President to only run once. But he's certainly undermined his viability as a future candidate. -- nm - Roger More Feb 24, 08:52 14
      - How? - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:00 13
        
        He's already quit his job. Like you said, he'll have to do something like run for Governor and be successful at it. - Roger More Feb 24, 09:05 9
        
        I think he does...the US Senate is nowadays a joke for anyone who wants to accomplish. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:07 8
        
        Checking it out, Scott isn't up for election until 2018. -- nm - Roger More Feb 24, 09:10 7
        
        Right, he takes 12-18 months off, recharges, builds a donor-list...and then runs in 2018 for that job. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:13 6
        
        I agree there's a path, but he has to remain relevant, win the governorship, do a good enough job - Roger More Feb 24, 09:22 5
        
        Right, but I doubt either way that Rubio's going to be quiet in the near-term. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:24 4
        
        Yeah, he'll be writing a book, etc I'm not saying he'll be standing still - just that some of his actions in this cycle - Roger More Feb 24, 09:29 3
        
        I'm not sure which they would be exactly. Looking robotic on the big stage? Minor point. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:35 1
        
        I was thinking of his quitting the Senate. -- nm - Roger More Feb 24, 09:49
        
        (and the bottom line is, pixie is wrong. The definition of a narcissist is not "One run at the presidency was enough for me") -- nm - Roger More Feb 24, 09:30
        
        I don't know how to explain it, by gut feel is that Trump is like Vanilla Ice or MC Hammer. - ty97 Feb 24, 09:05 2
        
        I was talking about Rubio. But Trump is more like Silvio Berlusconi than Vanilla Ice. -- nm - Roger More Feb 24, 09:07
        
        I think we're on Rubio....how he's either tarnished or not by this run. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:06
    - Unless he gets picked for VP, I don't think he sticks to his word about the Senate. -- nm - David Feb 24, 08:51 5
      - I dont' think he'll have time to get back on the ballot. I expect him to take 2 years off; then try to run for Rick Scott's job and get some - Will Hunting Feb 24, 08:57 2
        
        IIRC, the deadline is either April or May. -- nm - David Feb 24, 09:03 1
        
        I think he'd make a lot of enemies in the Florida region if he quit, let others build out, and then jumped back in after failing. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:04
      - he stopped doing the actual job over a year ago to run for this job -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 24, 08:52 1
        
        Your point? It is not like the Senate actually does anything anymore. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 08:54
- Big, if true. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 08:45
I'll sleep with either Rubio or Cruz if they can decide which one will be on the top of a presidential ticket together. -- nm - Megan Fox Feb 24, 08:44 2
- even if one of them had all the others' votes in Nevada, they still would have come in second -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 24, 08:45 1
  - Where did all the Jeb! supporters go to? - Spawn Feb 24, 08:47
"Just breathe." -- nm - David Feb 24, 08:42 7
- Does this go under my response to ML at the top of B2? -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 08:44 6
  - It goes to everyone panicking right now. - David Feb 24, 08:46 5
    - No Facebook in Paris? - Spawn Feb 24, 08:47 3
      - Let's see guys...do we want Spawn or not? - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:05 2
        
        *stops showering* -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:06 1
        
        Ah ha! *posts pictures of you walking to the breadstore to Facebook* -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:09
    - right now I'm expecting Aaron Rodgers to show up and tell everyone to R-E-L-A-X. -- nm - Diva Feb 24, 08:47
"I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created." -- nm - The Donald Feb 24, 08:40 7
- At this point, that can only mean negative unemployment. Enjoy your two jobs, everyone. -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 08:49
- "I *love* the poorly educated" Huh?!?! -- nm - Meg Feb 24, 08:42 5
  - Somebody's got dig ditches for me. -- nm - Trump Feb 24, 09:00
  - They are so easy to dupe, err, I mean ... -- nm - zork Feb 24, 08:54
  - It's a coded slam against people who criticise him for being elected by the "poorly educated". - Roger More Feb 24, 08:51
  - Yeah. I like that in the next interviews he used "less educated". - Spawn Feb 24, 08:44
  - He should! They're voting him onto the party ticket! -- nm - David Feb 24, 08:42
