  1. Obama needs a thought bubble, "I've spent 8 years and almost cleaned this shit up and now this guy's gonna fuck it up again."
  2. I'm trying to intellectualize this emotional shit sandwich we've been served, so at least I can do something besides stare at the floor. All I can come up with is this: The fact that we were caught off guard shows that there was more support behind Trump than the polls, or the media, or our insulated social circles were able to reveal. I think some of that is the fault of the echo chamber, but I think the rest is something more interesting and insidious. Trump, from the beginning, struck me as emboldening people of a certain demographic (white, mostly male) who are fed up with being t
  3. That's fair. At least you're still participating, and especially where your vote counts the most.
  4. The more I look at it, it really comes down to New Hampshire or Nevada. Hillary seems pretty clearly ahead in every other state she needs to win. A twist ending with a Florida win would also be possible. I can't wait for them to call this thing tomorrow night so I can stop worrying.
  5. I thought this thread was about strangers' crummy driving, but you took a more humble route. I must say the turn signal has been gradually going out of style in Denver.
  6. Leave the City Don't This Look Like the Dark Whippoorwill Little Sad Eyes Hammer Down Lioness Just Be Simple Again The Grey Tower Bein in Love Ring the Bell
  7. Wtf twice a week every week. Just when I hear a couple episodes that felt mediocre and I think I'll just cherry pick ones with guests I like, I hear an amazing interview with someone I've never heard of. He gets amazing people, in the last two weeks he's had David Crosby and Ron Howard. Today on my morning commute I can hear a discussion with Roger Waters. Also, I really love Radiolab. Their newer episodes have been less consistent to me but there's still years of reruns that are fascinating to relisten to after a year or two. And let's not forget Fresh Air with Terry Gross. It's so omnipr
  8. That one is on the list of albums I bought when I was 14 because Kurt Cobain told me to and I totally couldn't understand it. I should revisit it with my growed up ears.
  9. ^^ That's a great one. Probably my favorite from the two of them.
  10. Yeah, might still be something. But it's been an oddly slow news cycle for the election, so this feels exciting.
  11. James Taylor-sweet baby james. This is another example (like the Dead's American Beauty) where I had to get past a number of cultural associations to just hear something for what it is: a fully realized piece of art.
  12. Keep reading, looks like it was much ado about nothing for HRC. The Wiener has struck again however.
  13. I enjoyed a headline today that said after the destruction of Trump's Hollywood star, he only has 6 remaining horcruxes.
  14. There was an irritating lack of basic macroeconomic qualification in the debt discussions in the last debate. Obama has shrunk the deficit considerably. People love talking about the debt being bigger than ever, but that's fine when your GDP is bigger than ever.
  15. So I was thinking about how over the "alt right" and their fringe, hate bullshit yesterday, and I was ready to write a premature obituary for the Trump campaign. But rather than preach to the choir and jinx this whole thing, I thought of a more interesting question (rather than a rant). What are the legitimate concerns of the Trump movement which aren't answered by a traditional Democratic candidate? What would a more successful (and positive/productive) embodiment of those concerns look like in a future GOP candidate? The one thing that's been interesting, and fairly downplayed in this
  16. I thought he switched it to "big league". Like I heard him saying "bigly" in the primaries, but then one of his advisers/consultants told him not to use made up adverbs, but he couldn't so they just coached him to switch it to an established expression.
  17. It has brought a very savory scene; foodie restaurants galore! Tons of economic growth but lots of complaints about population growth and skyrocketing property values/ rent.
  18. Sorry, my sarcasm doesn't read. Part of why I got extra sarcastic is it's hilarious that a vocal contingent of our city council seems to think first that the pot shops would cause problems, and second that they will be avoided by preventing the Rec shops from opening in our neighborhood when the Denver-metro area is littered with them.
  19. Yep! A few dummys thought that by walling off recreational sales our neighborhood would be a safe-haven from the eminent decay that comes from casual marijuana purchases. Of course people drive two miles up Broadway and the tax revenue leaves our little city.
  20. Nah, pinko. I don't really smoke it, I just want to tax it.
