The cardigan girls look better to me.

"We are not going to agree because I'm right and you're wrong" seems to sum things up pretty well: a juvenile response in support of a facile position. Emphasizing your restated position with caps and then restating it again with no indication that you've read anything I've written, is not the advancement of an…

Again, it's non-revelatory that racism is worse the more power it has from which to act. Two acts can be categorically the same and differ radically in degree: that we can label as "hatred" both what you reserve the term "racism" for and what you would exempt from it for its relative lack of power poses no problems,…

Nope. No I'm not.

Racism is racial prejudice. That it's worse the more power it has to act on is non-revelatory and not grounds for redefining it, or any ism, as operative only when coming from a position of power.

Here's a nice profile of a smart cow, one of many profiles that Jon Katz used to write of the animals on his farm for Slate:

I like the idea of assessing a next-game technical, maybe even next-game played against the team you committed the flop against—though that distinction wouldn't matter so much in the playoffs, when flops and the next-game technicals punishing them would have the greatest impact. In addition to the offending player…

Was staying with a friend, who gave me what turned out to be a weaponized brownie made by a friend of his who bakes edibles for local dispensaries. He issued a vague warning, but I'm a stoner who can handle his weed, so what did I need to worry about? One morning I'm on my own and there's nothing around to eat, so I…

This is such a great movie, and a totally legit rival of the classic it's remaking. And so beautifully shot it's hard for me to imagine that 3D wasn't a needless distraction from it in its theatrical run. (I've only seen it on DVD.)

What Elysium are you seeing in this? Is he fighting a race of patrician Jodie Fosters?

A study published last month shows that barefoot inspired footwear may reduce the incidence of knee injuries, but the shoes do so by putting more stress on the Achilles tendon.

What about the failure to call the Barnes foul on Jackson that sent that ball out of bounds in the first place? The way that play was called could very well have led to the Thunder crying "we were robbed" in the end: missing/not calling the obvious foul by Barnes took two free throws from Jackson for the potential…

That call could very well have led to the Thunder crying "we were robbed" in the end: missing/not calling the obvious foul by Barnes took two free throws from Jackson for the potential tie and gave the Clippers a second chance for a stop for the win. What it gave the Thunder was a reduced chance, not a greater chance,…

Yeah. I switched to minimal running after chronic trouble in both knees, fruitless use of expensive shoes and orthotics, and arthroscopic surgery to correct it, and while I didn't stick with Five Fingers (my feet are unevenly sized enough that I need a half size difference between left- and right-foot shoes, otherwise…

Gha! Arcs, not arks.

I think it fits if, rather than questioning the scene, one rather re-evaluates the judgment they've formed about Jaime or the standards by which they're judging him. I don't think that "redemption," or moral development generally, is ever all one thing. In a lot of ways what Jaime has gone through is very much an…

Except the above script mocks exactly your complaint. We're talking about a world attempting to put the medieval back into medieval fantasy, so whatever redemption ark any of its characters would be likely to follow is going to be on that world's terms, not ours, which in most every other context people seem mostly…

Here is a upcoming female director available now for your support:

I dunno. Did you listen to the recording of hoover at the link? He even gets the accent right, and seems to be repeating things, not that he would have been expressly taught to say, but that some old salt of a New England sailor was in the habit of barking at him.
