A Fellow of Infinite Vest

I was going to make a joke about how "at least she has a career as a lawyer to go back to" but at least 17 other people have already made this joke in one form or another

That's not flying, that's falling with - let's be real here - not all *that much* style.

Watching the NLCS is difficult because I've (usually low-key) hated the Dodgers for my entire life, while my hatred for the Brewers is brand new but it *burns*.

Treasury debt is in t-bills, so how exactly does this work? Are they just like "You thought you bought a 30-year security but nope, here's your money back, no more interest for you," or what?

A tribute to his legendary capacity for booze. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyLn...

I guess I'm just an old-fashioned guy... ...by which I mean, I will happily take either the donut or the drink. Never tried both at the same time and *that's okay*.

Canonically, the answer is Game of Thrones. But there are plenty of others. Lost, Dexter, etc.

Hell yeah

Like yeah, it could be this easy

Congrats, Milwaukee, your stupid fucking roof just won you a game

Y'know, if you think about it, the manager of Mudville's team in the poem "Casey at the Bat" did a pretty crappy job of putting together his batting order. Why would you put two terrible hitters (one described as a "lulu" and the other as a "cake") in front of your best hitter? It makes no sense!

We used to be a real country

The trouble with split sports loyalties: Aw man, the Kings lost (as usual) their first fame of the season. YAY, THE PADRES WON THE WILD CARD SERIES!

Great little thread, highly recommended for laffs:

You can bring them the receipts and then they'll just say "liberal media" but it's still worth doing

Now I kinda hope Jack Smith went to a Seahawks game or a Blackhawks game so we get to clown on Schmitt all over again

I was not aware of this bill but it sounds like a good idea to me! No reason to hold it up that I can see. ...except, of course, large donations from, let's just say... Edison? PG&E? Who can say.

California - and nobody, really - should hire any of these asshole contractors ever again. Sorry it's a 20 minute video but the tl;dr is that this consortium of contractors has been and is continuing to extort the people of Los Angeles. youtu.be/3FOZ7R9bUBA?...

Neat stuff going on at the Tar Pits! (Though I think calling Wilshire & Fairfax "Hancock Park" is a bit of a stretch)

Wait, is this the same media who are the only people who care what Hasan Piker has to say? I feel like there is a very simple solution here.

Omg. I came across PBS Food on Samsung Live TV. Currently playing The French Chef and if I did not already love Julia Child (I do) I would now. It is delightfully unpolished in a terribly charming way. She is often breathless. She pauses oddly at times. She messes up. I *fucking* love it.

Let none of us ever forget that the reason Malibu is an incorporated city is because the incredibly rich residents threw a revolt when the city of Los Angeles (to which Malibu used to belong) asked the residents to pay taxes to build them a proper sewer system. MAKES YA WONDER, HUH?

Local grocery store is already putting out the Halloween candy

I will never really get how Chet Baker could play a trumpet that sounded like butter and then sing like honey. Yeah, I know why he died. I don't care, he left a gorgeous body of work.

Drove past a parked car with some sort of racing (?) striping that said WHITESTONE and *boy oh boy* did I parse that wrong at first

Shocking results for a life-long Southern Californian, I know. Though I think they should've asked a question about "hella" to differentiate SoCal from NorCal.

Proof that this is the worst possible timeline: Dolly Parton was the same age as Trump is.

I've been places, but only ever really lived in Southern California. Unless you count a month in Prague as having lived there.

Broccoli rabe? No thank you. I will accept nothing less than broccoli Rabert.

Kevin Kruse has got nothing on whoever posted this: i.imgur.com/DfbrJ85.jpeg

Yet another politician who has failed to fulfill his campaign promises. Shameful.

My daughter just described baseball as turn-based combat, which is, uh, kinda accurate?

Beer Belly, Los Angeles, CA. Excellent burgers, sandwiches, etc. 'Death by duck' fries which in addition to being fried in duck fat had bits of crispy duck skin sprinkled on. Fried oreos for dessert.

Make a new plan, Stan

If someone tells you that you are very similar to a widely-reviled Roman emperor, that means you are nerotypical.

Haven't seen this until now and, well, yes. Very much so.

I'm pretty sure this guy just really, really, really wants to take a shit in someone's dining room
