I can only imagine that he posted that Yang has picked up the endorsement of a former classmate of mine, and prominant nerdcore rapper, YTCracker. His candidacy is now inevitable.

Re: Politics & Current Events
Warren and Sanders are far left of him. I don't really think the rest of the field is all that far left. After all, Biden, Bloomberg, Steyer, Bullock, Bennet, Patrick are/were all in the same general lane. Klobuchar & Booker aren't that far left of him, either. So I'm not really sure it's fair ...

I don't remember who here voiced the "he's just being a centrist in the Dem primary. He'll move to the left in the general" idea, but when I read it, I snorted noodles out of my nose, had to go to the restroom to recover, and forgot to respond with a snarky gif. I'm tickled by the idea th...

Re: Politics & Current Events
NOBODY HERE IS SAYING BUTTIGIEG IS A 2019 REPUBLICAN. By almost any reasonable metric you can find his ideologies and rhetoric plant him ever so slightly Left of Center. The Overton Window has swung so far to the horsefeathering Right that a guy with an abysmal political track record who would have...

Re: Politics & Current Events
An annoyingly high percentage of the Democratic base. Not a majority, but enough to make things stupid from here on out. I'm still confused; what does Harris' "restoring her reputation" after she ran a godawful campaign and ran away without any kind of a plan from her own political/justic...

Re: Politics & Current Events
yup. I have a friend who is a Bernie Bro and is pissed that she left, saying she could have siphoned more votes from the Biden/Warren/Buttgieg group, right down to the end, allowing Bernie and Tulsi to win . Which is bonkers because she had, like, no support to begin with. Bernie AND Tulsi? Like, a...

Re: Politics & Current Events
Not that today's hearings are going to move any needles, but things went pretty well, imo. I think the Dems came off as reasonable and made good arguments, the witnesses were pretty strong, and the Republicans were often completely bonkers. A highlight (smug blinky-smirk lady in the background is ki...

Re: Phillies Sign Wheeler
that story comes out with every signing. It's a win/win/win from a PR standpoint. Player looks like good guy because he took less to go where he wants to be. Winning team looks good because they were an attractive job without being highest bidder. Losing team looks good because they gave it the old...

Even by the standards of the Roku/Crackle channels, it's a pretty bleak lineup.
Well, it has a few pretty big 80s hits/classics.

Plex is the absolute best thing. Media library, podcast setup, over-the-air dvr. Just aces.

Re: 2019-20 Offseason Rumors/General Chit-Chat
You can definitely model it, and to a certain degree (in the value sense) a run is a run. However, we've seen the consequences of a team that has imbalances in building the roster this way, you get uneven performances, underperform pythag, etc. Given the outward messaging being around balance when ...

Re: 2019-20 Offseason Rumors/General Chit-Chat
Yup. The sum of the parts could be quite ugly, I think you could still make a Schwarbs/Heyward/Nick OF work to the point of it not killing you but we’d have to bring in a Billy Hamilton type to throw in to CF like every game we got a lead in the 6/7 innings and we’d also have to get back to shiftin...

Re: 2019-20 Offseason Rumors/General Chit-Chat
For all the talk of how bad his defense is, can anyone remember games/moments where the Cubs were really hurt by it? I know that there were balls he didn't get to that other OF's may have, but I don't recall embarrassing levels of play from him For me it's less about Nick's defense, which I think i...

If Russell wasn't a person of color, you would have managed to not be wildly wrong.
