The concern trolling in your last paragraph is kinda overblown. Is anyone disputing the factual accuracy of the story, its quotes, or accusing the author or bias ? And if so, for what purpose?  Seems pretty irresponsible to imply as much because the disclaimer you expected at the bottom of the article was actually a…

You gotta think that there are better deals out there than $8m per mercenary.

This is a pretty weak take. First, as many others have mentioned, Harry is out of the line of succession. But also, conflating unpopularity resulting from a 2-week max news cycle concerning a tabloid-created grievance with, say, the casus belli for the English Civil War is kinda ridiculous. Its not like they said they…

I think we have to assume that his plan was to eat the eggs to gain dinosaur bird powers as a chance to cheat death and engage in gross-villainy.  If you think about it, the bird is the hero . . .

Diana had great coverage of the Rose trial, where the same attorney really outmatched the plaintiff’s counsel. Opinions may vary, but my takeaway was that the Plaintiff lost the Rose case, rather than Rose winning.

Yea, but, conservatives want to reduce, restrict, control who has the right to vote ... so any bad faith argument to meet that end is what they will adopt. They are not trying to make a constitutional argument because what they want is not supported by the Constitution.

One time, I was holding on to the center pole while riding the C train to Brooklyn when a young woman came in reading her kindle and decided that, rather than hold the pole, she was going to hug it and my hand as well. Being a normal person who tries to avoid unnecessary physical contact with with complete strangers,…

I think you are overlooking the part where Joegger threw a temper tantrum at the beginning of the year because they did not take Luka. However “correct” he may have been, that attacking mgmt in that manner over personnel decisions is why he was run out of Memphis. That he appears to have not learned his lesson…

After D Lo stepped up and resolved to debate between him and Spence, Allen has to be the most polarizing Net. I’ve been to 4-5 home games this year and in every one of them he’s played like butt. I understand the argument for him, I just have never seen him play well.  Seeing how they address the PF/C position this…

I have a relative who dabbles in this sort of thought. I say dabbles because its hard to determine exactly how sincerely they believe it. I feel like they sincerely do, but are embarrassed and do a sort of double dutch. Nonetheless, it has completely destroyed our relationship to the extent that we barely speak now…

Ok, thanks for the info. I guess I am changing my armchair solution from “any due process” to “increased due-process and student protections.” I do not think you can completely prevent abuse, but you can disincentive certain especially insidious types.  What if you made it that the Coach could kick the student off the…

Don’t forget that both her grandfather and great grandfather were admirals and her great-great-great grandfather was a plantation and slave owner. . . but, you know, shes totally self made and not the result of generations of privilege, wealth and influence . . .

2019 is the year of the bad faith argument.  McCain is just living in the moment. 

This is probably not the most important observation, but the NCAA could remedy some of this by giving student athletes certain due process-like protections for their scholarships. Rather than the coach, by fiat, removing a player for vague incidents of alleged “insubordination,” give the player a chance to defend them…

What about trading the pick that became Jarret Allen for 26 games of Bojan Bogdanovic, only to let him walk in free agency, on an affordable contract to the Pacers and then carry that team to the playoffs following Oladipo’s injury?

I need more details about this purported “fight over cigarettes.” Was it like: Girl 1: “Hey, give me a cigarette.” Old Lady: “You are a child, you should not be smoking.” Girl 2: “I will fucking end you!” or was it merely an animated discussion over whether camel crush was better than Virginia slims.

Phase two is the chinstrap beard ... for the people who need a fashionable way to inform the public where their neck ends and their face begins ...

Your advise is reckless and if people actually followed it at, say, the Broadway Junction MTA station, they would get their asses beat.

2019 is the year of the bad faith argument.  

everything that has happened re: Kyrie has to be Karma, right ?
