They never leave. They have the resources to live anywhere, yet they choose to live where it's already expensive to live.

Claw it all back. He might be immune from criminal prosecution, but he's not immune to civil fines and penalties. He should leave the White House broke.

It's truly bizarre that law enforcement can claim a person's nervousness around law enforcement is evidence of a person's guilt. As if we haven't all seen numerous examples of cops arresting innocent people and therefore have a VERY GOOD REASON to be nervous around them.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a crow’s face. It says, “I AM DEATH’S MESSENGER”.
In panel two, we see the same crow’s face. It continues, “YOUR TIME IS NEAR”.
In panel four, we see the crow awkwardly hopping away from a stick figure.
In panel five, we see the grim reaper with the crow perched on his hand. The grim reaper says, “So you should probably fly away dramatically instead.”

Pitch: an updated version of The Lottery where a society believes it can only advance if it allows it's children to interact with a Kevorkian chatbot. "There was no other way to end the school shootings," says the old lady, whose 8 siblings all perished before turning 18.

"He didn't mean to suggest that Iran should nuke California" isn't the defense you think it is. A president who cannot communicate is just as dangerous as one who would purposely suggest an enemy should attack us. That Trump credibly fits in both categories makes it that much worse.

I like sports. I've also sometimes felt "social pressure" to know more sports info so that I can make small talk with certain people who I don't want to offend. But having an AI-run fake sports team wouldn't relieve me of that pressure. Because it's fake. And everybody knows it.

If you have to explain why Donald Trump *didn't mean it* when he called for the destruction of two U.S. cities, then you've already missed the point. This is the President of the United States giving a prepared speech, not your drunk uncle jonesing for another Wild Turkey.

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

If somebody attacks Los Angeles or San Diego, I will assume it was Donald Trump, not Iran.

So instead of using the WR3 or WR4 who had practiced the route, they tried to convert a TE on the fly. Good idea

The Phantom of Heilbronn, also referred to as the Woman Without a Face, was a presumed female serial killer whose existence was inferred from DNA evidence found at 40 crime scenes across Austria, France and Germany from 1993 to 2009.

In March 2009, investigators concluded that the supposed serial killer did not exist, and the DNA belonged to a woman who worked at a factory that made the cotton swabs used for collecting DNA samples

Three panel comic. An upset young woman sits at an outdoor cafe table. She says earnestly to her boyfriend, “it’s like you don’t even listen to me anymore…” Panel 2: Her boyfriend, sitting across from her at the table, is making a strained, distracted expression. He says, “babe, I’m sorry— I just—“ Panel 3: he continues, “there is something so insane behind you right now. Behind his annoyed-looking girlfriend, there is a monkey in sunglasses and a backwards cap sitting side-saddle on a parked motorbike.

You didn't vote for a war in Iran, but you voted for a chaotic, unintelligent, uncaring person to be your leader. These are the natural, predictable consequences of your decision. Instead of saying "I didn't vote for this," try saying "I voted for the wrong person."

Has there ever been a dystopian novel where the dangers of technology were perpetuated by an immoral president owning stock in the technology? I feel we're not appreciating the fact that Trump has essentially invested in nuclear weapons.

If it turns out that Eric Schmitt's conspiracy theory was based only on a text message with a random row and seat number, it's pretty amazing that the only game he could find that day involved the Hawks. If it had been any other team, he wouldn't have been accused of confusing it with Hawkeyes.

I don't think enough attention has been given to Donald Trump trying to rename Artificial Intelligence. He's George Costanza throwing out bad ideas that nobody asked for, scoring points in a game nobody else is playing, so that his plaque on the White House Walk of Fame will include "renamed AI."

Is this a good time to remind the Bengals thst they have to play against Darnell Washington twice a year? Maybe they should have a plan for stopping him. I mean, is Tre Flowers available?

I get the argument that liberals should reconcile with Trump voters finally see the error of their ways. But that conversation ends immediately if they say "well, who else was I supposed to vote for." If you can't even imagine voting for Kamala then you're not trying. Enjoy your ride to Rock Bottom

Looking at the Bengals' schedule to determine when the NFL pundit class will begin saying "yeah, but they haven't played anybody." Setting the over/under at Week 9, after Steelers and Ravens, but before the Falcons. Fully expecting the chorus to continue through the Chiefs in Week 14. #whodey

I'm not one to judge people for their vices, but I wonder how many disaffected young men, currently under extraordinary financial stress, are finding respite in watching the NFL and being tempted by sports gambling by the constant ads for DraftKings and FanDuel. This could become a huge problem.
