A thread for non-COVID and election stuff.
Kicking off this week with a gem from an ESPN documentary about Michael Jordan called "The Last Dance". Check out how they billed Obama:

Fucking Keganaugh. Gorsuch makes me angry at McConnell. I don't like the guy, but at least his history came up clean. Brett, on the other hand, just makes me rage at the entire GOP.

Sounds like no DACA decision today. Next day it could possibly happen would be on Thursday now.

I'm sorry that we exported our white supremacist gun violence problem to our northern neighbors. |

We are an o&g employed family. We are freaking out. It’s at 15cents right now. It has never been this low. This is going to destroy the Texas economy. Tens of millions will be unemployed. My God.

I'm so sorry this is affecting you. I have a lot of friends who went into oil and gas and I can't imagine how stressful this must be. |

I don't quite understand how this happened.
I wasn't paying a great deal of attention to the Saudi/Russia price war because of everything else going on. How much did that contribute to the collapse of prices? Was this inevitable either way and they just got us there faster? Why are they still drilling so much oil if demand is so low that they are running out of places to store it? Where is the idiots guide to oil?

I mentioned in a text to my dad I was surprised at how quickly things collapsed and I felt like it showed how fragile the economy is and apparently that was the wrong thing to say.

Notarobot That's because it doesn't happen there. Your shock is a good thing, because sadly, here in America, we're no longer shocked. Angry and sad, yes, but not shocked. I am sorry your country to dealing with this right now along with everything else.

Not sure of accuracy...but... That made so much sense, thank you. Also, fuck spiders. (I know they eat other bugs and stuff, don't @ me. Those fuckers always show up in my bathroom or bedroom and NOPE.) |

I am sorry your country to dealing with this right now along with everything else. Thank you. I had a moment of debating whether I should even post something about it because it seemed so small in scale, comparatively. But then I thought you know, I want to continue to be shocked by these things because this should not be our normal. |

I think it was the unanimous jury and a couple of other smaller cases on patents and state's authority or something. None of the bigger ones mentioned in the article. |

It’s more than Polytechnique from ‘89. This is wild. I saw the headlines earlier on but was taking a mental break and only caught up this morning too. |

Oil is in the negative now. NEGATIVE. We are spiraling on this here because oil revenues make up quite a bit of our state's budget here in New Mexico. Our state is screwed. |
