De Blasio is getting skewered today or putting together a special unit to deal with the fireworks complaints, but like, he's been getting skewered - ty97 Jun 23, 11:28 1
- the rhetoric is 100% recycled replacing "drugs" with "fireworks" - we only go after the dealers, we won't do anything to individual, we want big fish -- nm - colin Jun 23, 11:41

  - A lot of wood to get through. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 11:31
So apparently the workouts we've been doing are because of a "Murph" thing coming up. From the link, it sounds awful :) - oblique Jun 23, 11:02 1

- Wow - ty97 Jun 23, 11:05
- The pause told the whole story that he went up there with nothing. -- nm - David Jun 23, 11:04 4
  - you could see him flip through his mental rolodex of excuses. -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 11:05 3
    - Well, he is old enough that 1) He knows what a Rolodex is 2) Has used one in his life -- nm - JD Jun 23, 11:27 2
      - Just because his memory palace is analog does not mean he... okay, you are correct. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 11:36

- Excuse me - ty97 Jun 23, 11:01 1

- I've expected that. -- nm - loosilu Jun 23, 11:17
- The US is being likened to Russia and Brazil. So I guess it all fits. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 23, 11:15

    - You can visit the US! If it's not too dirty for you. -- nm - loosilu Jun 23, 11:24 4
      - Not currently. Maybe one day. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 23, 11:32
      - He was here when America really was sorta great. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 11:27 2
        
        Hopefully the company made up for any shortcomings of the surroundings -- nm - JD Jun 23, 11:32 1
        
        I can't complain of the company in most of my adventures in the US. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 23, 11:39
- Can't blame them -- nm - ty97 Jun 23, 11:00
- I mean it when I say we are a shithole country. - Spawn Jun 23, 10:59 3
  - Yep. It's a plague-ridden shithole. They'd be crazy to let in Americans. -- nm - loosilu Jun 23, 11:17
  - 133 days -- nm - mud Jun 23, 11:04
  - nm -- nm* - Beryllium Jun 23, 11:04
Huh, didn't realize Dawson was out of Nadler's district and into Maloney's -- nm - ty97 Jun 23, 10:57
LYC TIL B*Witched did a cover of Hold On. Hearing that was almost too much pop for me - JD Jun 23, 10:57 1

The Last of Us: Part II - Credits have rolled. - Shaun Jun 23, 10:49 7
- My daughter and her friend *hate* it, and have quit playing. - JaxSean Jun 23, 11:07 2
  - It's definitely emotional, no argument there. -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 11:12
  - it's not a happy game -- nm - decline Jun 23, 11:10
- I played a bit over the weekend, but I'm pretty sure I have quite a bit still to do (spoil) - decline Jun 23, 10:51 1
  - Correct. -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 11:03
- How was it? -- nm - Marlowe Jun 23, 10:50 1
  - It's a technical and a narrative masterpiece. -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 11:04
Umm—-my polling site for the November election is...the lobby of my building -- nm - JackDawson Jun 23, 10:29 7
- How do you know this already? -- nm - ty97 Jun 23, 10:53 2
  - Fair enough, I'm assuming if the primary polling site is here, but you could be right that it does not necessarily follow -- nm - JackDawson Jun 23, 10:53 1
    - oh no, that would be logical enough. I thought you were accessing some info on future polling locations and I didn't think we had that info -- nm - ty97 Jun 23, 11:06
- How will you ever find the place? -- nm - Bjarön Jun 23, 10:52
- Do you need to update your address? -- nm - loosilu Jun 23, 10:36 1
  - Yeah just did it after I voted in the primary in my old address (as law requires). But then I got home and saw--oh, a polling site is in the lobby! -- nm - JackDawson Jun 23, 10:53
- Yay? -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 10:31
He's still 50/50 at worst to win IMO, but yikes. -- (link) - Tim Jun 23, 10:27 21
- When did the economy collapse on Dubya? Like 60 days before the election? - David Jun 23, 10:40 1
  - 75 or so is when Lehman’s fell apart. Mid-August -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 10:42
- I realize people are scared of Trump magic, but, at this point in the campaign, he's the biggest Presidential underdog since Dole. -- nm - Inigo Jun 23, 10:32 16
  - My reasons for optimism: President Trump is not theoretical this time, and people aren't enthusiastic about Biden but they don't hate him like Hilary. - Dano Jun 23, 10:46 4
    - Nervousness is valid since the stakes are so high. But right now there's no question in my mind who's leading. -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 11:19 2
      - I agree, but if 2020 has taught me anything it's don't pretend to think you know what the world will look like in 5 months. -- nm - Dano Jun 23, 11:22 1
        
        - "months" + "days" -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 11:26
    - PA, MI and WI alone are enough. - Tim Jun 23, 10:51
  - This picture still pisses me off -- (link) - oblique Jun 23, 10:43
  - Not magic. We know the voters don't want him. Vote tampering, intimidation, and other electoral shenanigans are the concern. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 23, 10:40 2
    - I will say that's what happened at the protests indicates that voter bullies will have a bad election day. -- nm - David Jun 23, 10:41
    - (And not in that order; I think tampering would be the least concern) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 23, 10:41
  - By any data point anyone should trust, he's getting killed. However, he's survived several wooden stakes to the heart so far. -- nm - David Jun 23, 10:38 3
    - Right. 133 days is a VERY LONG TIME, but he's definitely down *as of right now*. That by no means = that he's out. -- nm - ty97 Jun 23, 10:55
    - (I don't know how James Comey lives with himself.) -- nm - David Jun 23, 10:38 1
      - word. -- nm - mud Jun 23, 10:47
  - The base is small, but they're all gonna vote. Plenty are still looking for a reason to not vote for Biden. -- nm - Tim Jun 23, 10:34 2
    - That's factored into the 10 point deficit. - Inigo Jun 23, 10:36
    - As often as they can! -- nm - David Jun 23, 10:36
- Man, the 92 convention saved Clinton’s ass. I forgot he was down like that. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 10:31 1
  - People really didn't know who he was yet. -- nm - Inigo Jun 23, 10:34
Flavored Syrups or Hand Sanitizer? -- (link) - budice Jun 23, 10:25 2
- Maybe I wanna smell like hazelnut. -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 10:27 1
  - Sometimes you feel like a nut -- nm - budice Jun 23, 10:29
I think I'm gonna get a balaclava. Any recommendations? -- nm - Mop Jun 23, 10:24 12
- can you link? -- nm - amanda Jun 23, 11:15 3
  - Presumably one of these, although some are clearly going to be too thin. -- (link) - Mop Jun 23, 11:27 2
    - get a balalaika instead. -- nm - mud Jun 23, 11:29 1
      - I swear I thought it was about Baklava until I saw the responses. - Spawn Jun 23, 11:41
- I have this one, light weight and cooling? at least not warming however there's no filtering so I put a folded paper towel (brawny is breathable) - zeitgeist Jun 23, 10:53 2
  - 4 layers? Ugh. I guess it's what's necessary to be safe. -- nm - Mop Jun 23, 10:56 1
    - I use 2 layers, one piece folded -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 23, 11:36
- In the summer? -- nm - loosilu Jun 23, 10:40 3
  - A "gaiter", if you prefer. But I like it better than a facemask. So I can easily wear it around my neck and pull it up and down as needed. -- nm - Mop Jun 23, 10:42 2
    - I bought some for my guys at work with our logo on it for this reason. Much easier than the mask. I like the ones I got here but the one I got at - oblique Jun 23, 10:57 1
      - Yeah, it's what our installers on campus are using right now, and I won't deny they look pretty damn cool. -- nm - Mop Jun 23, 10:58
- Make sure to get it from a proper deli and not some giant grocery store. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 23, 10:26
Trump denies he was making a joke when he said he'd ordered the slowing of testing. -- (link) - Mop Jun 23, 10:17 2
- "you find out where the cases are, and you do a good job. We are doing a great job. We have never been credited for it. We’re doing the best testing - JaxSean Jun 23, 10:21 1
  - Why would you slow down the best testing? -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 10:58
Vid of Ground Moving on that 7.7 Quake near Oaxaca -- (link) - budice Jun 23, 09:54 7
- roommate at the world series stadium standing at the very top row said cars in lots looked like sailboats rocking in a wake, the stand section gapped - zeitgeist Jun 23, 11:00
- This video is bananas. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 23, 10:10 2
  - That's the wrong way to make a smoothie. -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 10:16
  - I see what you did there. -- nm - Mop Jun 23, 10:13
- "feed me" -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 09:58
- crazy -- nm - prayformojo Jun 23, 09:56
- That's creepy -- nm - JaxSean Jun 23, 09:56
Fauci:"Cannot imagine that that (institutionalized racism) has not contributed to the conditions that they (Black Americans) find themselvesin" -- (link*) - budice Jun 23, 09:40 4
- but a handful of Black people did OK, that means racism is over! -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 09:47 3
  - "we found a Black person who said there was never racism, so everyone else is lying!" -- nm - Tim Jun 23, 09:57 1
    - and he's on the Supreme Court so I'm rubber and your glue! -- nm - dumb people si Jun 23, 09:58
  - Not only did we have a Black president, but he didn't even get coronavirus! -- nm - mara Jun 23, 09:52
wow - so Schumacher wrote the movie Car Wash. I loved that movie - anyone else remember it? - JenBro Jun 23, 09:40 [youtube] 9

- I remember it and can recall a few elements. -- nm - Bjarön Jun 23, 09:50
- Oh yeah. I was 16 and working at a car wash at the time it came out. Lots of great music and George Carlin too. -- nm - GregW Jun 23, 09:49
- I remember MCA trying to sell us a truckload of the soundtrack. "How many copies of Saturday Night Fever have you sold?! c'mon!" -- nm - mud Jun 23, 09:48 1
  - It did win the Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack Album -- nm - GregW Jun 23, 10:02
- never saw it, but I have the theme song burned into my brain -- nm - prayformojo Jun 23, 09:43 2
  - Bender's version, anyway. -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 09:48 1
    - Rose Royce!! -- nm - Diva Jun 23, 09:53
Tropical Depression 4 has been upgraded to Tropical Storm Dolly off the coast of Nova Scotia - probably won't make landfall -- (link) - decline Jun 23, 09:33 3
- I thought tropical depression happened Saturday night, in the outskirts of Penn Ave. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 23, 10:03 1
  - It's a Hurricane with half the rum. -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 10:05
- Well hello, Dolly. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 09:34
omg "Rep. Michael Doyle, (D) Pennsylvania" is speaking! .. I rock. -- nm - mud Jun 23, 09:33 1

Netflix renews Lucifer for a 6th and final season -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 09:31
Headline: Dozens of YouTubers, Twitch Streamers, And Gaming Executives Face Sexual Abuse Allegations -- (link) - Mop Jun 23, 09:30 4
- never mind - I missed the horrific part of the allegation in the first reading -- nm* - crash davis Jun 23, 09:40
- I mean, I didn't post links, but... - Marlowe Jun 23, 09:31 [Backboard] 2
  - Yeah, I saw your poster and then googled. The Discord nudes thing is absolutely sickening. -- nm - David Jun 23, 09:38 1
    - So many horrible stories. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 23, 10:01
Fauci's now saying he's "cautiously optimistic" about a cure but that there's never any guarantees. -- nm - David Jun 23, 09:26 3

- Cure or vaccine? -- nm - Andie Jun 23, 09:28 1
  - Sorry, vaccine. -- nm - David Jun 23, 09:29
PMB, you're probably right and I'm probably wrong, but here is my Lincoln Project prediction - crash davis Jun 23, 09:21 7
- I do think they want to try to rebuild their party and that will likely be the first order of business, but I don't think it will be long before they - pmb Jun 23, 09:24 1
  - Yeah, eventually. In a lot of cases they actually agree with the Democrats more than the Trumpers. It would be different with Sanders, but Joe is ok -- nm - crash davis Jun 23, 09:30
