You think too much.

I hate Illinois Nazis.

Some entertainment for the kids... from the NRA.

Here's the article from their website

Didn't the auto industry say this about seat belts in 1967?

Probably. And the tobacco industry.

Sickening.

Fuck you, NRA.

I had a Falafel Waffle for dinner tonight. Where did I dine?

I don't know, but dammit, that's my idea!

The pro gun world is connected to the racist world.  It is abundantly clear—and the NRA specifically is doubling down on that message

Absolutely correct.

That said, we better load up on guns & ammo with the coming horde from Central America. They're all rapist, drug-dealing, card carrying ISIS members bringing small pox and leprosy to our beloved country. MAGA!

Check out this list of the top recipients of campaign financing from the NRA. Notice anything? R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R,...

I ordered ubereats delivery from C&J three times in the last week.

This is a cry for help.

What I think has been horrible is that many media outlets of certain leanings- the same who "reported" the Comet Ping Pong stories, portrayed Fiola as either letting this happen or encouraging it, and it hasn't appeared to be rebutted by Mr. Cruz, or any of those media outlets after a time to gather facts.  I think they fueled fire without any real facts about the incident.  

The oppressed-wealthy-white-Christian-American-man narrative needs all the help it can get.

I'm trying to look at the bright side. I don't have to shell out hundreds of bucks on a Game 5 Division Championship game only to see them lose two years in a row.

Perhaps I'll spend the money on dinner at Rose's Luxury or somewhere with similar chops.

Dang...in retrospect..I never went to a Stones concert and I had my opportunities.   That is one group I would have liked to have seen in person.

I saw them a couple of times in the late 90's early 00's. I don't think you missed a whole lot (at least in that era). While Mick's geriatric gyrations were impressive, and it was fun hearing so many songs I know so well, they just didn't get as down and dirty as I would have liked. They were a little too polished.

I'll stick to cranking up Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed, Exile on Main Street,  and Sticky Fingers.

BTW, everything after Tattoo You was pretty much crap, though Blue and Lonesome was fun.

IMHO, the best version of Midnight Rambler:

And yes, The Rolling Stones ARE the world's greatest rock-n-roll band!

Funky!

I HATE when there's a yield sign and no merge area. I get so much anxiety driving in VA on the GW Parkway because of this. (I may be wrong, but I feel like the GW Parkway in VA in the vicinity of the Key Bridge, Memorial Bridge, etc., has a lot of these no merge area situations. Usually there's a "no merge area" sign, but I think no always?) I feel anxious right now just typing about it. Ugh.

You're not wrong. I think it would be helpful if there were a sign for the folks on the main road indicating that traffic will be trying to merge in a "no merge area". One place this would be especially helpful is on SW Freeway going east where the 9th St tunnel merges. You're cruising along in the left lane when all of a sudden the two lanes jam together. I don't travel this route often, but when I do, it surprises me every time.

when you're coming out of a cloverleaf, entering a highway, you're on the former, and you should be coming up to the speed limit, so you can merge into traffic

Then you have the douche-bags who believe the on-ramp is a passing lane.
