a foundational belief of the modern right is that there is no such thing as organic disagreement with their policies, it’s all directed from the top down

they just can’t conceive that ordinary people find them horrifying

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

Cal Raleigh: first player in ALCS history to hit a home run and catch a 2-hitter or better (Miller, Speier, Brash, Muñoz) in the same game.

You can’t spell ALCS without CAL…

Minimum wage workers usually don't get a company healthcare plan so the ACA is their only option for affordable healthcare

If WAGES were higher then ACA subsidies wouldn't be necessary but that's not the case

In slow motion the ball was clearly left of the pole and the shadow of the ball was visible on the foul pole. Darling seemed to not be able to see any of that.

a lot of people are finally waking up to the importance of the 3rd amendment. As a 3A absolutist, i think it should be illegal for soldiers to be quartered anywhere in this country. they should be camping under the open sky at all times. all military bases and barracks are unconstitutional.

The two most annoying players in this series are Marsh (the always wet thing) and Kiké Hernández (everything). Edge to Hernández.

Roman Polanski comes to mind. Chinatown and Rosemary's Baby are amazing films, but I won't watch anything he made after 1977. When I worked in advertising I refused an assignment on his version of Oliver Twist.

I don't know what answer Shapiro was hoping for, but he was not worthy of this one.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
