Incompetence isn’t even the worst part—these are deeply-damaged people even beyond that—but let’s also remember that incompetence is the feature, not the bug. Trump doesn’t want competent people around him who know what they’re doing, because competent people have ideas and opinions about how things should be done, and they’ll tell you so. He wants incompetent people who know they are in over their heads so they just shut up and do exactly as they’re told, which is something any competent person would never tolerate as a condition of employment for long. In exchange, they get rich and they get to abuse the system and its people for jollies, which is something deeply-damaged people love to do.

Same reason people keep smoking even though we all know it’s fatal to our health: it’s not affecting them right now at this very second.

They should hold their own meeting separate from Ttump.

The sad part is that all the attendees are going to go to church and pray to President Trump to touch the hearts of men so the data center is put somewhere else.

Those were so minor league.

Boog Powell hated the 1975 all-red Indians uniform when he played there. He said it made him look like a "massive blood clot."

Also take a good look at Riley on the pic in this tweet: Does he not look as though he's taking one of his 201 trudges back to the dugout last year?

OK, so, perhaps not as bad as I imagined it might be. The way I read this, the orange kit will be worn for all Friday games in place of the City Connects, which will be relegated to the occasional Monday home game, although not all (or maybe all but one?); and on the road, the blues will be worn sometimes and not worn sometimes. I do have a feeling players would like the dark uniforms for road games, so they may wear them more than not.

Lucky us, we'll get both! 🤡

HBC is a pretty damn good actor, so I guess that's why. Vanessa Kirby's career has taken flight, too.

Yeah, Joe Biden was old, all right.

If I can be a pig for just a post: Princess Margaret was a pretty-good-looking woman (right), although kinda too bad didn't actually look like Vanessa Kirby (left), who played her on The Crown ...

From the mlb.com story: The orange alternate jerseys will be part of the home rotation with the Motor City jerseys that will serve as the City Connect jerseys for a third season. So, sadly, no. It's in addition to. If they leave it up to starting pitchers to choose the jersey, as many other teams do, we may never see the home whites or road grays ever again. Kids like colors.

I think the reason most people like restaurant food better than home cooking is all the things restaurants do to food that also makes it so much worse for your health.

🤨

Best of everything to you, Bert. This is a good reminder to never take for granted those physical gifts we still have.

Speaking of going out to eat, I am a little surprised that with the widespread incidence of hypertension, restaurants have not focused at all on developing delicious low-sodium options. Basically everything on their "healthy" menus focus on reducing meat, sauces, or frying. There's so much more to it, but I guess there's no market for it.

Right. This is very much a walking city, and everywhere, every neighborhood, all 77 of them, and not just downtown downtown. Kids under 12 are allowed to ride on the sidewalk, but once you’re old enough for a bar or bat mitzvah, get the hell out onto the street with the cars where you belong. 😁

How about we stop even referring to the guy? He adds nothing but mishegoss to the discussion, and all we do is feel bad afterwards, which is the apparent goal.

Yes, Europe still has that instructional memory, if not living memory. America has neither. Maybe that’s why too may people can’t hear the five alarms going off.

There were not a few people on MTS seriously hammering the then-current Democratic Party for slavery and Jim Crow, basically during the Obama years.

I wasn’t sure they were going to start coming for us so soon. This is serious ****.

Old enough to remember posters on the old MTS forcefully arguing that today's Democratic Party was the same as the slavery-Jim Crow Democratic Party.

More like "separate but 'equal'".
