Trying to come up with a list of movies that unite two beloved genres: coat cinema, and "what if a man was sad???"

I think it's perfectly acceptable for some people -- not necessarily politicians, but the rest of us -- to say something like "Trump has encouraged political violence for the better part of a decade and has been promising to do it with the government if he wins. I do not sympathize with him."

Weird choice to spend so much of the first episode of Hard Knocks on "what will they do with Saquon." I assume that most of the audience for this show already watches football. We know he went to Philly!

New study: Vehicles are more likely to kill pedestrians if they have tall and blunt front ends and/or flat hoods. That's a major indictment of American SUV and truck design -- at a time when US pedestrian deaths recently hit a 40-year high. doi.org/10.1016/j.js...

what if - instead of attempting to ban porn and end internet anonymity in the name of “protecting children” - we actually protected them by making sure they have enough to eat

European sports rivalries just hit different. In America we will hate a rival because they beat us in the playoffs a couple times. In Europe they are like "yes we hate that team, because in 1456 they disposed our king and did a light genocide against us. Also they dive a lot."

There's a columnist doing very bad posts today and like... I am not an enthusiastic Joe Biden fan but "less bad" IS good enough as a gating criterion for "who is the one (1) person who gets the nuclear codes"
