Cities REALLY need to stop paying for for-profit ball parks. If these teams want new stadiums, they should have to pay 100% of the cost, and not get a single tax break. Stadiums with tax breaks are always a net negative on a city, they should be paying their own way.

The idiots running my city just caved in on a new stadium for a minor league baseball team - a team that just got a fancy new stadium not far out of town about 20 years ago. It's going to occupy useful land near downtown that would be far better suited to mixed commercial/residential space, which is now sorely needed here with our current insane housing market. But no, instead we get a ball stadium on that land, a stadium that will sit empty the vast majority of the time. At least the current design doesn't include any parking lots, and has a little housing and commercial space as part of the design, though I can't imagine who would want to live in a ball park.

"Our species managed" by having lots of babies with lots of deaths. Want to go back to that?

Canned milk and corn syrup is not a sufficient replacement. It worked for you as a supplement to breast milk, not as a complete replacement for a birthing person who was unable to breastfeed at all.

There is no 2A right to be a mass shooter, and you're fully aware of that.

And the whole "If we only had gun control the mass shootings would stop" is ridiculous. This country has more guns than people. Unless you want house to house gun confiscation warrantless searches of every home in the country, there is NO gun control that will stop them. And even if we went that far, and even if that didn't turn into a bloodbath trying (and it probably would) then the mentally ill people who go to a public place and start shooting will just turn to explosives, and we'll have mass bombings instead of mass shootings.

We'll never stop mass murders completely. But if we want to reduce them, we MUST have better and free healthcare. Mass murders are ultimately a mental health issue. Blaming guns for mass murders is ultimately going to be counterproductive.

Well, duh.

Non-racist Republicans exist. But they're not the mainstream of the party any more, and haven't been for a long time.

Connecticut sure has changed for the better since 1965.

#17 "I always liked the Tomboys. The chicks who weren't afraid to throw a punch. It's still kinda hot."

This is a perfect example of what the deplorables are doing. They accuse the left of being "groomers" and "pedophiles" because they want to have sex with children.

He's 14. You just misgendered and sexualized a kid.

This is just stupid. Menthol injectors for regular cigarettes are already a thing.

Pointless waste of FDA time.

It's the right thing to do, but for very, very wrong reasons.

Corporations should NEVER have the power of government. The Disney district should never have existed in the first place, and it absolutely needs to go.

Right thing to do, wrong reasons.

Corporations should NEVER have governing authority. Giving Disney this in the first place was a massive mistake. Taking it away is a good thing.

It sucks that it's happening because the governor of Florida is a bigoted -------, but it still needs to be done.

I'm getting really tired of this. We should have had omicron-adjusted boosters by now. Where are they?

Religion should really be classified as the mental illness it is so religious people can get proper treatment.

Who?

Seriously, if you've got no idea who this guy is, this headline makes no sense at all.

Given that the article has neither "sister" or "drummer" in it... WTF are you on about?

You don't have to be in the office to use FaceTime, it works from anywhere.

Not gonna happen. If the work can be done remotely, it WILL be done remotely or it won't be done.

Enjoy trying to hire right now. Americans are sick of being treated like crap by employers, and they're simply not going to put up with it any more.

Oh, so the cops let him in?

Then the charge should have been seditious conspiracy, and charge those cops too.

We all saw the video. As much as some people want to make all the capitol cops out to be heroes, some of them were absolutely complicit in the insurrection.

Why should I care about what happens to rich people?

But has anybody actually answered the most important question...

Which one is Pink?

Why all the distraction about socialism?

This war isn't about socialism. This war is about Russian imperialism and how best to stop it. Economic philosophies have NOTHING to do with it.

Can we please stop pretending that the Social Security "trust fund" is a real thing?

It does not exist. There is ZERO money in a "trust fund" to pay for Social Security. It's all paid for with income tax money.

And remember, we're talking about Mittens here. The asshat who lied and claimed that a huge chunk of Americans do not pay income taxes. Payroll taxes ARE income taxes, and every working American pays income taxes. The middle class pays HIGHER income tax rates than the rich, because of that 15.3% income tax on earned income that Mittens likes to pretend doesn't exist.

And yes, that's 15.3% on top of the rest of your federal income tax. If you're a W2 employee, half of it disappears from your paycheck without you even being told you're paying it. If your money is all unearned income, you don't have to pay it.

I try not to kink shame. But ---- fetuses is just not ok, and it sounds like that's what this lady was doing.

Stupid idea. If the gov wants lower gas prices reinstate price controls, don't increase production.

The last thing the world needs is more cheap oil.

As a work of a federal government employee, all official WH photos are public domain.

That means any of us could sell a book of the photos if we wanted to.

You could even sell a book of those photos where you photoshop the tiny-fingered, cheeto-faced, ferret-wearing s**tgibbon naked and wearing an actual ferret on its head.

You mean like they have the best paratroopers and best tanks?

I don't think anybody is very scared of the Russians at this point.

We're literally talking about Hollywood. These guys are actors.

90% chance this was just a publicity stunt.
