I came here looking for a summary of last night's games, but instead what I found was a unique and compelling voice that is interested in many topics not just the standard fluff. I think I will be coming back to this site for years to come, as long as there are no idiotic draconian policy changes designed solely to

MLB instructed the home team to wear alternate jerseys so the president is the only obvious white national in the stadium.

I can come to the office and blast Eliminator and Out of the Blue while looking sternly into everyone’s eyes if that is necessary.

Needs U2 and REM somewhere on there, just to make everyone feel old as shit.

My parents gave me a map, pointed to Japan and China, and said “these are different countries”. I've never forgotten that lesson.

Harden always getting bailed out by the refs.

If you told me 10 years ago that Hearthstone would be at the center of a huge, international diplomatic storm, I would’ve said the same thing I’ll say today: What is Hearthstone?

Morey certainly pissed off a good number of Chinese citizens with his tweet

On one hand, you have the Chinese government who wants the ability to extradite residents of Hong Kong with no oversight. The same Chinese government that regularly disappears people in it’s custody, and is running literal concentration camps for ethnic minorities and political dissidents.

Complicated is short-hand for money on one side and morals on the other.

You can use data and science. I’m going to use my illusion.

ESPN is worried about pissing off Tencent, the massive Chinese internet company that it struck a deal with in 2016.
