What Aaron Calvin did is way worse and more damaging than a few old racist tweets, but I still don’t think he should be destroyed over it. In a world where everyone’s idle utterances are remembered decades later, we need to work on a better culture of forgiveness.
You know, there’s a whole religion built around forgiveness that might be worth looking into.

If it took you hours of searching through someone’s old tweets to get offended, then you’re the one with the problem.

The Democrats should be honest and just impeach him for “general Trumpiness” instead of pretending it’s for anything specific.
“He just seems like the sort of guy who should be impeached.”

I think Trump’s main defense in impeachment will be that “This isn’t the Trump the American people thought they elected!” doesn’t ring true.

Maybe this is the puritanical streak in me, but asking foreign leaders to do political muckraking for you is a bad look.

One thing that makes me feel like my mind is going is finding a description of an episode of The Simpsons from the first 8 seasons that I don’t remember anything about at all.
“Marge worked at the power plant? Season 7? I don’t… what was the B plot?”

So, I read the transcripts, and I’m pretty sure that’s Trump speaking there. I’m not sure who the other guy is.

I didn’t realize Colin Kaepernick was the quarterback for Nevada during Boise State’s Kellen Moore years. I remember him as this tall, lanky kid who was pretty formidable. And part of Boise’s most devastating loss during the Moore years.

I love being a developer and going off into my cave to work on cool new stuff, but there is a certain satisfaction you only get from helping a user solve a problem, even if the solution is of the “turn it off then on again” variety.
I worked in a supermarket as a teenager, and I lucked out and was in produce — the only job where you could hide from customers most of the day. Still, I loved it when I got asked where the restroom was. If that was your problem, I could help you.

I’m the one behind the whistleblower complaint. It was 11:30 pm, which is way too late to be blowing a whistle that loud when you have neighbors. That’s why I filed the complaint with the HOA.

I know everyone is getting very excited right now, but I should point out that President Trump is unlikely to get impeached. A simple legal analysis shows why.
According to the Constitution, a president can only be impeached for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” If they impeach Trump for something other than that, the Supreme Court will put him back in office and make sure he gets back pay.
So what’s a “high crime or misdemeanor”? Legally, that’s defined as “a crime or misdemeanor committed on a plane, dirigible, mountain top, or other high altitude location.”
Trump’s not stupid. Anytime he’s on Air Force One or hot air balloon, he’s usually very quiet and law abiding. Trump only commits medium crimes or low crimes (crimes committed in a cavern or building sub basement).
The Democrats best bet it to try and trick Trump into testifying under oath while in a blimp. If they can get him to commit perjury at over 20,000 feet, they have him.

What if President Trump is removed from office? How will things be then? I haven’t really followed Pence’s Twitter feed; is it any good?

Beyond Meat for McDonald’s? I enjoyed their cheeseburgers as a kid, but let’s be honest here: They never quite made it to meat.

I assume the country will be more prepared for Trump being re-elected than it was for Trump being elected in the first place, but I’m not 100% certain of that.

The status on ACX for the Hellbender Audiobook is “Headed to Retail”. Don’t know how long that takes, but I’m guessing it will be available later this week.

For the record, I already hate that Birds of Prey movie based on the poster.

I think Harley Quinn is a character who only works in small doses.

It was my idea that Sony and Disney should do a third Spider-Man movie.

It sounds like the Des Moines Register just used that one reporter as a fall guy and didn’t learn a single thing.

I thought the Netflix original film Orc Cop was kinda entertaining, so will I like The Irishman?

In season 2 of Halt & Catch Fire, in one episode I saw someone blow into an Atari cartridge before playing it. I’m pretty sure that’s just an NES thing, though. Did anyone else do that for any other cartridge system?
I believe it was all just poor design on the NES. People thought blowing into it fixed it, but it was actually taking it out and reseating it. I usually got the cartridges to work by putting them in barely enough to be able to push them down into the system.

I feel some sympathy for the fired reporter because of how the whole thing was placed on him… but less sympathy having read the interview in Buzzfeed. No one learned anything.

Why is that 16yo girl worried about a threat as far out as climate change? Didn’t anyone tell her about the Joker movie coming out next weekend?

Million Dollar Idea: Build the entire wall out of studs, so then you can hang things anywhere!

I like Yang. I disagree with him on a lot of things, but he appears to be the only politician trying to do something other than stir up one subset of idiots.

If we can just get rid of Trump we can go back to the way things were before Trump which was so bad we wound up with Trump.

Trying to explain football to my kids while we watch the Cowboys. You know, it’s kinda complicated.

I have too much going on to join in a civil war. Sorry, guys.

My 4yo will give me a thumbs up, and after I make eye contact, turn it upside down. It’s strangely devastating.

The Ryan Reynolds/Michael Bay straight to VHS movie looks dumb in a good way and that Birds of Prey movie looks dumb in a bad way.

Man, kid pitch for ten and under softball is a completely different game. I saw a homerun off a wild pitch.
If a kid gets to first, she’s going to steal her way to third and there is little anyone can do about it. Goal is to then make sure she doesn’t steal home on a wild pitch.

My oldest daughter did great at her game today. Her request at home was to watch Abbot and Costello do the who’s on first routine.
I don’t think I’ve ever watched that without laughing.
