That’s a good reason not to remember her name, then. Problem solved?

Does anyone, anywhere really think Trump would do anything "for the sake of the country?" His next selfless act will be his first.

Big takeaway: How incredibly easy it is for a politician to build up a near-fanatical following, simply by appearing competent and caring in the face of a crisis. (Worth noting: Trump failed that test pretty aggressively.)

Bobby V farted on me once. Totally intentionally. And I don't know what the hell that guy eats but I worry about his intestinal health.

I feel like Trump arguments were about the only conversations I had with my dad for the last couple of years of his life. It sucked. I feel your pain.

Everything else aside... seems abundantly clear that the "good guys" need to have a long-term plan on how to win back the court system that's more refined than "vote Blue." And I have literally no idea if that's happening or who's leading the effort.

Do people who use Microsoft Teams for meetings ever get tired of hearing "Sorry I was late, Teams doesn't work very well."

I feel like there's at least a possibility that the team likes Sims more than we do.

Yeah, agreed. Looks like they haven't announced a Summer League roster yet so maybe that will tell us.

Does anyone really think Rokas is coming? Feels like we talk about him all the time here and on Reddit but you never hear a word about him from Begley, Hahn, etc.

Gotta give something to get something, right? Love Deuce, but how much run is he getting when this team is at full strength and you've already got DiVincenzo coming off the bench?

It's not just practical. The Democratic Party seems to lean VERY heavily on "it's her turn" when making these decisions. I'd argue that's how we wound up with Biden in the first place. Doesn't seem at all likely that they'd deviate from that now.

Today in "job searching sucks" - At this point, I feel like the average message on LinkedIn is only a little less suspicious than an unknown caller on my home phone.

I don't think they've had that one show that anyone really needed to see yet. (I did watch Twisted Metal for "damn, I loved that game back int he day" reasons and... yikes.)

When I'm appointed czar of sports media, one of my first official acts will be to kill all "PLAYER followed/unfollowed PLAYER/TEAM stories." I follow Josh Hart on Instagram. Jalen Brunson too. Does this mean I'm in line to be the Knicks' new backup center?

Carl Bernstein is a really interesting choice to lead the "too old to do an important job" charge. He's, what, 103?

Yeah, this is the main reason I've (basically) stopped checking in over there. I'll follow the occasional sports news link to but that's it.

I saw them play at a taping of the Letterman show a million years ago. They paused during the outro of Tubthumping to chant "Free Mumia Abu Jamal" for a bit. (I have no idea if this actually made it to the broadcast that night.)

It wouldn't suck if a few more of the folks whining about "cancel culture" actually did get cancelled, while we're at it.

In fairness, I feel like this is at least partly due to the fact that Trump is immune to shame.

I worked in a bunch of offices around there, starting in, like 1997. Right on 6th Ave for a bit, then on 22nd, and then above the big Bed Bath & Beyond. And then they moved us to Midtown, and then to (ugh) Rockefeller Plaza.

LOVED Live Bait. And Eisenberg's on 6th, right by the Flatiron. And Uncle Moe's, which was on... I want to say 21st? And Republic on Union Square.

Oh, right, duh. Governor of Michigan. Sorry, totally spaced on the name. I guess the only other semi-credible name I've seen bandied about is JB Pritzker? Newsom feels like a non-starter.

(Not saying Biden can or should step down. I just honestly have no idea who's "on deck" for the Democrats. I don't get the sense that Kamala Harris is that popular with the people who drive these decisions.)

Let's say, purely hypothetically, that Biden did step down as candidate. Who's the replacement?

I didn't watch... That said... Can't help but wonder if the weird setup (no audience, potential for microphones being cut) had an impact.
