@AnMailleach Ive seen mention of the barring of Burnham from the bye election as a sort of casus belli. But to me now it looks like a masterstroke because if Burnham was in parliament right now Starmer would already be gone.

@LinkofSunshine 100% disagree. You're paying to reserve a table, maybe skip a line. You can split the cost. Hard to buy these things otherwise.

@mattyglesias In 2016 Trump's weakness on data security was the main focus of coverage of his campaign, so you can't say the voters didn't ask for this.

@Noahpinion I followed Wayne for a while after he wrote a few correct things. Stuck with him for a while to 'listen to a differing view point'. But he was mainly wrong. Eventually gave up when I couldn't deal with the nonsense anymore.

@LinkofSunshine When they printed Plague Wind, a black card that destroys all opponent's creatures for 9 mana, we joked that the wording should have been "Destroy all creatures. (This does not include your creatures)."

I’ll always think it’s funny that it took them 4 tries to print Wrath of God before they got the wording right

@Noahpinion There's a lot of beautiful people in that video, I'm afraid that will generally attract discourse on the Internet.

@narrenhut @LinkofSunshine Makes sense that Gen Z would rather relate to someone their own age than someone much older like Taylor Lorenz.

@AlanMCole @petergodofsky What he does at work is right there in his bio. Computer science, statistics, airplanes, and ice skating. I assume.

I have a detailed understanding of what each of my friends the Godofsky brothers thinks of the capabilities of the Littoral Combat Ship, which is maybe at best our eleventh most important class of naval vessel. I have no idea what @petergodofsky actually does at work.

In my experience, women are always getting mad at you for the questions you didn’t ask your male friends. Yes, we talked for 5 hours. No, I didn’t ask what happened with his girlfriend. It didn’t come up. They’ll never get it.

@Noahpinion Unironically, something sports related. Win a world cup, or an Indonesia becoming succesful in one of the big American pro sports.

@MikeReiss Mike, thanks for all your hard work this season. You're the number 1 at what you do. No matter what happens on Superbowl Sunday, it's been a pleasure to share the journey with you.

@MattZeitlin Owning a sports franchise is (or should be) a consumption good. Bob Kraft gets to hang out with Tom Brady, get addressed as Mr Kraft by all these elite athletes as if he's some kind of nobility, be the one to collect the trophy, all without taking a single snap. (I am a Pats fan)

there's a fan populism that finds the idea that teams can be cash generating enterprises fundamentally offensive, instead they should be trophies for billionaire owners and somehow appreciate in equity value but never genrate cash (i guess european soccer is like this?)

@KevinDenny 189 / 42 = €4.50 for a pint. Not bad. Don't think you'd get that price many places today.
