  - repulsive, with a side of cynical timing. -- nm - mud Dec 14, 14:51 1
    - Also ill-considered given that it's 70/30 Trump claims he fired Barr. -- nm - David Dec 14, 14:54

Fetterman, ftw -- (link) - znufrii Dec 14, 13:38 5

  - I’d need convincing on that one. - znufrii Dec 14, 14:35 2
    - I definitely want Fetterman for one. Lamb was the first person to come to mind for the other. Not much thought given. Maybe Shapiro. -- nm - Dano Dec 14, 14:39 1

What is it with tech CEOs and convincing themselves to do normal things in batshit crazy ways? -- (link) - Reagen Dec 14, 13:23 7
- I'm going to offer that he might be saying "drinking the day's water all at once is efficient" regardless of the method. Still crazy. - Max Dec 14, 13:51 1

  - some of it is. They had a couple albums that were exclusively. It's a lot of what they were brought up in. -- (link*) - mud Dec 14, 13:27
Baseball trivia: Did you know Detroit once had a second major league team? They placed in the National League from 1881 to 1888. Can you name them? -- nm - Edward Havens, Host of The FilmJerk Podcast Dec 14, 13:20 3
