Re: Antonio Brown's Used Helmet Emporium -- NFL 2019
You know, I don't ask for much. I knew neither of my teams (Seattle and Minnesota) were going to make a deep run. I just wanted *one* thing. Just one fucking thing. Not even shooting for the moon or nuthin', I just wanted Tom Brady to not be in the super bowl. AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH

Re: 2020 Status Check
you have to keep squinting to find any message other than the stupid one. This might be the case since this year but for the years 2015-2019 it was easily google-able, no squinting required. I pointed this out multiple times in Reason comments and people always acted surprised. People didn't know b...

Re: Mandalorian It's campy and fun. We just finished binging the whole thing. Agree with your take. Loved the guest stars, who were well used. Loved the McQuarrie-esque art.

Re: The son of "What the hell are YOU staring at?"
Got to talking with a guy about movies/tv shows, said he liked science fiction, anything with spaceships in it etc. Asked if he watched The Expanse, and he said he started it for a bit but was turned off by the poor acting. Ok I get it, it's a fair knock, but I'm guessing he doesn't watch much if he...

Set aside the fact that the people in a position to write such restraints have no means of enforcing them and may themselves be in need of an executive pardon one day. Is ...

To try to make HBOMax look less like a giant failure. I've been trying to figure out why they're failing.

Re: Random covid-19 observations
If we're going there in terms of who "deserves" the vaccine, I'd have absolutely no problem with a commission to comb through social media and anyone who wasn't taking it seriously is at the very back end of the line.
