Overheard at MSG announcer’s table:

Lol @ a troll complaining about fake presidential power abuse whose avatar is Andrew Jackson.

he was so chill after this scorpion kick i guess you could say he was...(*looks at camera*) sub-zero.

Don’t blame the kid(ds), Jason. They’re not failing because they’re self-obsessed millenials who only care about scoring

That is not even remotely true. There was a litany of refusals, and at one point Ansari even acknowledged her clear discomfort. Observe:

Why isn’t the conversation that men need to learn not to take advantage of people’s obvious discomfort

She also expressed her feelings to him the next day. He heard her out and apologized. I see no reason to doubt the sincerity of his apology. His statement on the matter affirms that he took her words to heart.

This was a bad date. She had a horrible date with a clueless guy who thought he was being sexy and hot. She was made to feel uncomfortable, and it wasn’t right.

Just add that to the list of things that Melo’s done with. Including

I did this about 10 years ago. Living in an apartment complex and noticed some shady goings on with the people across the courtyard. Kids in and out but never for long and the kids looked unclean and hungry. Went on for awhile and finally I needed to do something. Called the police. The place got raided. Turned out…

Social worker here. You’d be surprised how shitty state agencies run when it involves the health and welfare of children. I would encourage you to look up Danieal Kelly. One of the most extreme cases of neglect I’ve read about. I seriously reconsidered working with kids after reading about the case. Also, you’ll going…

The incredible innovation of writing two articles a week of casual prose and posting them online doesn’t get someone a lifetime pass able to handwave away all criticism of his turning into an incredibly lazy hackish writer the previous version of himself would have roasted on a regular basis.

(And there’s another…

Drew didn’t say the best sportswriter, but the most powerful and influential and it’s hard to come up with a good counterpoint. There are many REALLY good sportswriters, but none can point to a grantland-level project let along multiple versions of it. Simmons is influential enough that ESPN though it was a good idea…

I blame Oprah.

Two of the best players to come out of Duke think the world is flat, dinosaurs didn’t exist, 9/11 may or may not have been an inside job, and do “research” by reading random instagram pages. I blame Coach K.

Anytime someone tells me that poor blacks should just pick themselves up by their bootstraps I tell them to watch the Wire and pay attention to Dookie’s story. 

Love the article. I, too, am sick of homophobia in our community. I have two daughters and a son. I teach all to love themselves and their neighbors, regardless of color, religion, sexual preference, income, etc. Treat others how you want to be treated. Live and let live. Now, I also teach them to stand up to others…

I think in this case, it’s because they’re French. It reminds me of this piece by Paulina Porizkova about how America made her a feminist. To quote:

I’m of French descent, with many French exes, an an estranged French husband, and can confidently say this is largely cultural. “Seduction” is the norm, and any cry against it should be silenced. I’ve been told multiple times that if I allow myself to become cold to these kinds of advances, I will end up bitter and…

Wasn’t sure where to put this, so I’m sorry to tag onto your post. But I saw this video and thought it was something this site would be interested in:
