Every single time some idiot reads an OK hand as a racist gesture this whole thing gets worse.

The part that landed for me was when they rattled off all the time travel movies (“Hot Tub Time Machine!” lol), and the realization to both characters and audience that “oh wait, wow, those are all just movies, we have no idea how this would actually work” and then the meta realization that “oh wait THIS is also a…

No, lefty as well, and I only use the right shift. 

I have a teenager and live a 10 minute walk from the el. It would never in a gajillion years occur to him or his friends to go to Wrigley. Bleacher seats are more expensive than most of the upper deck now, and 9 times out of 10 it’s a frat party out there anyway. 

The real Izzo-truthers were saying that the blow-up happened right after he missed that dunk (shoulda layed the ball up soft, like a good white boy woulda). Problem is, the missed dunk happened like 3 minutes of game time later.

“They think they turned out fine...” right? It’s the same with the “my parents hit me and I turned out ok” people...no you didn’t, and my evidence of same is that you still vividly remember a traumatic event from your childhood and blame yourself for it.

Only tangentially related, my dad (who is otherwise very good)…

This is great, but it elides a simpler issue...TV analysts have, for the better part of my life, been among the least qualified people in the entire world to hold the job they have. Romo doesn’t make stupid mistakes (how many times have you heard a color commentator say “the ground can’t cause a fumble” on a play…

Shorn of his MAGA hat, alone with Guthrie, Sandmann appeared younger and softer than he did in the initial video. That, of course, is the point: In America, young white men are allowed to feel the excitement of their own power, to dominate others, to offend and to attack, and then, when people try to hold them to…

ahhh, thank you. I came here for the dumbest take, and was rewarded swiftly.

Either you’re saying nice things about Drew because he’s on death’s door, or you’re saying them because he told you to make everybody thing he’s on death’s door and I can’t decide which one I’d be more emotionally manipulated by...

Thanks for posting this. I’ve always been in favor of VERY narrow copyrights as concerns music. I had a teacher once tell me, when I said piece A sounded like piece B “There’s really only 12 notes, man...” and that kept coming up in my head during this trial. 

Herby Pesto Situation was great opening for The Shins a few years back.

I had a terrible job in customer service for a textbook company. The one seemingly decent thing they did was take you to the local semi-decent restaurant next door for lunch on your first day. I say “seemingly” because they used the lunch to tell you about all the horrifying policies at the company ( I mean it wasn’t…

I always imagined this in Elmer’s voice...

I look forward to hearing about people who want to watch the Tiffany Haddish one accidentally watching the 1994 Paul Newman vehicle instead. Still a top 5 favorite movie ever for me, but I am an old.

You think Texas is obsessed with its shape? I live in Chicago, meaning I’m legally required to vacation in Michigan at a minimum every two years. They put that shit on EVERYTHING.

I feel like the main reason “everybody” hates it is because you will not find a bigger set of whiny ass crybabies than professional golfers. The privilege oozes out of them so much, they feel entitled to be -10. And fans take their cue from the whining.

We’re at about $400/mo for the 3 of us. That doesn’t sound great, but my spouse and teenager both have some health issues that require accommodation, food-wise.

I don’t know if these qualify as tips or tricks, but I have learned a few things...mainly, go ahead and splurge on veggies and fruit, you’ll waste far less of…

Not at all the point, but kudos to the interviewer for asking once and then letting it the hell go.

Nitpick: JP Dellacamara used to essentially be the lead soccer voice for ESPN. I remember watching him broadcast the 2002 World Cup, which I remember mostly because I was a noob back then and was impressed at the big-voice guy.
