So first of all, we need to amend the Constitution so that Speaker of the House and President Pro Tempore are out of the line of succession.  I feel very strongly about this for several reasons which I will now state.  First of all it would be really politically unfair if Kamala Harris and Biden...

https://apnews.com/article/sports-nba-basketball-42ac166530fbff699c70dafccd07b56f   I love this story for like a million different reasons.

So I find billionaires to be among the hardest people in the world for me to understand their motivations.  I've always had difficulty with it but I think Bloomberg's Presidential run got me thinking about it more.  And then the attention that Mackenzie Bezos has been getting for giving away...

This 8-part documentary series premieres on PBS this week.  I haven’t seen anything yet other than the trailer but it seems awesome.  In 2018 Philadelphia elected a really progressive DA that has been trying to implement reforms despite serious institutional challenges.  I’m excited to watch it...

Biden has been super busy with all the executive orders and such and such.  Anybody already changed their minds?

Hey all.  I like to fool around on my acoustic guitar, I’m not all that great, mostly self taught but I love it.  I’ve posted a couple covers here in the FFA at some point. Anyway, I just wrote a couple of love songs over the last few weeks and I’m kinda proud of them so I thought I’d post them...

Seriously MAGA people can you just give us like 24 hours off? Then we can all go back to being jerks to each other.  I just really feel like I need to chat with some like-minded people right now.

I love this stuff, here’s a fun Politico with all kinds of speculation about people that might be in Biden’s cabinet if he wins. Elizabeth Warren as Treasury Secretary is something that actually makes me excited to vote for Biden.  If you’re Buttigieg and you can choose to be either UN...

So I'm not sure exactly what I'm hoping for out of this thread, but here goes.  Maybe somebody else has a similar story and will find this helpful.  Or maybe it can just be used to promote acceptance. Some of you may have seen me mention my 16-year-old daughter Talia in the past, mostly in the...

We’re like the only country in the history of countries to use our flag as a bookkeeping system.

Get in on this early it is totally happening.

OK, I only called this Bullcrap jobs to get past the language filter.  I just read the book Bull**** Jobs and it blew my mind.  If you are interested in rethinking some assumptions about the way our society is structured, I recommend it.  The book defines "bull**** jobs" as "a form of paid...

We're still really far away from the election but I'm seeing a lot of criticism around here from supporters of some Democratic candidates when talking about other Democrats.  This one isn't progressive enough, this one is too unrealistic, this one has some character issues, this one is too old...

Feel free to steal this idea if you are entrepreneurial. I often brush my teeth after smoking pot just so I don’t have smoke breath but then I almost always have a snack and it always sucks because brushing my teeth makes the taste of the food much worse. Just now when I was brushing my teeth...

Has any other TV actor ever had starring roles in three different shows as good as Jeffrey Tambor? I can't think of any.

Seriously, I played youth soccer all through high school and have now been coaching kids soccer for six years, and I think I've just realized that my understanding of a particular rule may be wrong. Here's my question: On a goal kick, is the kicking team allowed to leave defenders inside the...

Over the years we've had a bunch of threads devoted to tax policy discussions. Recently there seems to be an uptick in interest, spurred first by Warren Buffett's statements and then by tax plans offered recently by Republican Presidential hopefuls Herman Cain and Rick Perry. Probably not...

Why don't we have any of these anymore? It has to be at least a year since we've done anything like the monks with dots on their heads or the 12 balls on the scale, or one of those stories where you have to figure out what happened by asking yes/no questions. Is it because of our Smoolessness...
