Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

Missed again is a legit great song. Phil is no Daryl Hall with the vocals but on balance that song is about as good as white R&B gets.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

In the american context communism is mostly unrelated to economics. Any progressive redistributive policy is communism, as is any egalitarianism of race, gender, or sexual orientation. Integration is communism, women in the workplace is communism, marriage equality is communism. It's deeply stupid.

I love the idiotic cliché that having a 2-goal lead is the most dangerous scoreline in soccer. I guess the only thing that's more dangerous would be a 3-goal lead. Because then, if the other team scores, you'd have a 2-goal lead, which, as everyone knows, is the most dangerous scoreline in soccer.
