The f*** he won't! Tough loss, yes, but I'm not remotely mad at Michigan...our autopsy is rooted in pain right now, though. The War Chickens are good, yes, but Michigan came a long way from a preseason #9 Big Ten pick to a Sweet 16 team.

We have ZERO excuses for losing...sometimes, you just have to tip your cap and move on. We have to keep our heads up and hope this makes our coach hungry for a Natty next year...and yes, I thought we would win this game!


What is it about B1G fans that makes them talk about sports teams like they are LARPing Patton?

Chicken gonna need up his data plan for this.


There is no way that’s a real person.
In the state of Texas, a liquor store cannot be owned by a publicly listed company, hence no liquor store at Sam’s or Costco.

The number of special interest laws that are on the books everywhere would stun the average non-attentive citizen.

Maybe give Puerto Rico its independence like we did the Philippines in 1946. California's state flag says "Republic of California," so maybe we should let them go ahead and be their own republic without having to report to DC. Not sure what other states or territories should be considered, but it's open for discussion as far as I'm concerned.


New York is an empire. Says so right in the motto and that big building. An EMPIRE.

They would do much better on their own.
Every time I see one of these, I find it mind boggling that it’s a revelation to any thinking or observant person.
He’s one of the worst examples of what social media has done to once-credible people.

So many are now just transparent engagement farmers that are addicted to clicks and likes, and don’t even pretend to have any gravitas left.

OMG. Quit watching movies. AI can only know what it’s programmed to know. It cannot magically jump the shark and exceed its programming like Terminator, The Matrix, or I, Robot or any other techno-dystopian fantasy. It can only regurgitate and decide based on the parameters it is given. It has no sense of nuance or context. Just like human bodies can only do what they are genetically programmed to do, any entity in this plane of existence cannot exceed its original programming.

Exactly what they want you to think.

Somebody see if he bleeds.

At some point, raw talent and experience are deciding factors.

Right.

Let’s go back to the guy who got elected from a basement, never faced a hostile press, and pretty much abdicated decisions to an unelected cabal that also never held press conferences (and were treated like sages when they did).

Idiot.

Fun fact: One of the ways the media knew the first Gulf War was starting was all the windows on at and pizza being delivered to the White House.
As with Elon (and potentially Bezos and/or Zuckerberg), all their other accomplishments are impressive.

It’s their reach into media that is the biggest single impact, though.

I truly believe Elon saved the country by buying Twitter. This guy has been one of the most forward leaning in print since he moved the rudder at the LA Times. Bezos and Zuck have put their toes in the water, and at least have indicated they see the problems.
