hey, you can see my office building in the background on MSNBC right now -- nm - mr monkey Oct 11, 15:41 1
- "This city block is home to more pedophiles per square foot than any other neighborhood in America..." -- nm - Mop Oct 11, 15:46
Casey Neistat has endorsed someone for President. Although it's less important who he endorsed than the fact that he's called out other YouTubers. -- (link) - Mop Oct 11, 15:38 [youtube] 20
- I'm literally only aware of this person because of you. -- nm - David Oct 11, 15:43 5
  - Get with the times! You should be a vlogger. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 11, 17:15
  - He'll do more to get out the vote than a million "Rock the Vote" adverts. -- nm - Mop Oct 11, 15:45
  - ha. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 15:44 2
    - I'm only here to harangue you all with Casey Neistat links. When I get bored, I'm leaving again. -- nm - Mop Oct 11, 15:47 1

- oh dear god, why are we reporting on youtube "celebrities" like this? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 11, 15:40 13
  - Does it depend on which YouTuber we're talking about. PewDiePie is the most subscribed to person on the network, so he'd count right? -- (edited) - Qale Oct 11, 16:33 3
    - actual views count - I don't know about pdp, but casey not only has 5M+ followers, his videos receive millions of views. -- nm - b. Oct 11, 16:58 1
      - I like Casey. Don't care for PDP. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 11, 17:16
    - 98% - prayformojo Oct 11, 16:54

Tell us how you really feel about Paul Ryan, Steve Bannon -- (link) - mr monkey Oct 11, 15:30 8
- It's clear that the Trump campaign is plotting against Ryan. I have to believe Ryan isn't taking this sitting down. I want to see his response volly. -- nm - Mop Oct 11, 15:56 4
  - he's gone as far as he can go without losing his own head (for now), short of something even more damning about Trump coming to light - mr monkey Oct 11, 15:59 2
    - He needs to maintain his leadership role for the GOP and set up for 2020. Right now, both are on shaky ground. -- nm - Mop Oct 11, 16:00 1
      - in either situation, he still needs the 45% of the party that voted to nominate Trump to also vote for him, or his House members -- nm* - mr monkey Oct 11, 16:02
  - *offers half smirk, weak laugh, calls John Boehner* -- nm - Paul Ryan Oct 11, 15:58

2006/10/11: 30 Rock premieres. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 14:41
Gloria Allred says she's hearing from women who report having been sexually abused by Trump. -- (link) - Mop Oct 11, 14:38 12
- The actual answer to your question is just that she's the best known person for this (when involving celebs) so she's the one who gets the calls. I - pmb Oct 11, 15:37 5
  - She's also been involved in a case against Trump involving the amiss Universe contest -- (link) - Roger More Oct 11, 16:14
  - she's the one making the call I think. -- nm - mud Oct 11, 15:40 3
    - There's pretty much no way that can be the case. You think she's just calling up random women and asking if Trump assaulted them? She's put it out - pmb Oct 11, 15:51 2
      - with celebs I meant. -- nm - mud Oct 11, 15:57
      - Hmmm *scribbles down business idea* -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 15:53
- She is the ambulance chaser of Celebrities -- nm - eag Oct 11, 14:54 4

    - I'd rather have her as my lawyer, as opposed to her being my opponents lawyer -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 11, 15:13 1

rise of iron raid was beat in just 23 mins. (they skipped hunting for the extra chests). -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 11, 14:31
John Scalzi: "The GOP created a monster, but the monster isn’t Trump. The monster is the GOP’s base. - TWuG Oct 11, 14:13 8

  - I mean Old Man's War wasn't *that* great, but... -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 15:49
- +1 -- nm - budice Oct 11, 14:37
- I heart Scalzi. -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 11, 14:23
- So very well stated. -- nm - Mop Oct 11, 14:16 3

i don't know what it bodes for the future of Westworld that the robot characters are infinitely more real and compelling than the human ones -- nm - mr monkey Oct 11, 14:05 2
- Maybe that is the point? -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 14:09
- That assumes you know which characters are robots. :-) -- nm - TWuG Oct 11, 14:08
happy now, dano? -- (link) - mr monkey Oct 11, 13:59 5
- This scandal only served to inform me that Billy Bush was apparently a correspondent on the Today Show. And now, even that's not true any more! - Mop Oct 11, 15:15 2
  - It's served to inform me that there are people who think that sticking your hand between a woman's legs without her conset might not be assault. -- nm - mara Oct 11, 15:29 1
    - And you're making lists, oui, Madame Defarge? -- nm - Mop Oct 11, 15:37
- He'll land on his feet when President Trump appoints him as Secretary of Labor. -- nm - Max Oct 11, 15:12 1

- looks good -- nm - Karl_S Oct 11, 18:25
- I thought this would be a summary, not a literal hour. TL:DW. -- nm - spamlet Oct 11, 13:39
- It seems a bit more micro managing then previous civ games. -- nm - eag Oct 11, 13:22 2
  - It's interesting they really changed "happiness". That's been a big thing in previous games -- nm - oblique Oct 11, 13:35

So Buffalo D becomes a must start this weekend, right? -- nm - IrishStephen Oct 11, 12:54 13
- Root for our team as a whole!! Was Go Go Gabbert that bad? or they just want someone - anyone! to get them a win? - Epiphany Oct 11, 13:03 9

  - Gabbert is #bad. Ponder is #bad. Kaep was #good for a while, but then was #bad. - ML Oct 11, 13:07
  - Oh, I root for our team as a whole, but if I think the Buffalo D is going to get more more #FF points than my other D i'll gladly put them in! - IrishStephen Oct 11, 13:06 3

- A large percentage of people really want him to fail. That's for sure. -- nm - David Oct 11, 12:55 2
  - Kaep was the worst (2nd to worst?) QB last season, so it's not that I'm wanting him to fail, so much as expecting him to fail. -- nm - IrishStephen Oct 11, 13:32 1
    - Jaws unintentionally broke him with the "could be greatest of all-time" comment. -- nm - David Oct 11, 17:05
Newspaper endorsement tally -- (link) - ty97 Oct 11, 12:50 4
- AFAICT, that's daily newspapers only - ty97 Oct 11, 12:52

    - maybe excessive heat -- nm - decline Oct 11, 12:45 3
      - I'm guessing that's what it is, but is it because the processor was poorly cooled or the phone too insulating - TWuG Oct 11, 13:03 2

        That actually could be a cause. Li-ion pouch batteries expand with usage. If they get too hot or too little "slack" was left for expansion -- (edited) - TWuG Oct 11, 13:02 1
        
        Yeah but my joke ... was that there's an actual gas tank in that phone -- nm - rollo Oct 11, 15:11

  - I'm on a boat. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 13:26 1
    - I should buy a boat. -- nm* - cat reading a newspaper Oct 11, 13:40
- I guess I really should watch the Librarian movies. -- nm - mara Oct 11, 13:14
- remember....if you don't...your competition will -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 11, 13:00
- You're an accountant? - Diva Oct 11, 12:51 10
  - We have a lot. Maybe they outrank the IT peeps. They are secretly living among us - Epiphany Oct 11, 12:53 9
    - *turns on the light, watch all the accountants skitter away to underneath the cabinets* - prayformojo Oct 11, 13:17
