This is the third time I type this.

Not if you’re an introvert. Then it’s downright painful.

“Sports is just a business” and “He accepted a better job offer” are weak arguments predicated on the silly premise all “businesses” are the same, and that the motivations you and I have are even remotely applicable to an NBA athlete. It’s a silly strawman argument.

It’s opposite writing. Great writing tells you what happens and lets you infer how people feel. These examples tell you exactly how you should feel and forces you to guess what happened. The writers know they’re only supposed to do one of the two things but they keep guessing incorrectly.

Since I grew up in a nice neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles and found I was a talented writer in high-school creative writing classes, naturally I was introduced to Bret Easton Ellis, whom I thought was brilliant when I was a lost sixteen year old. Unfortunately, that impacted my writing for…

To be fair, he made a lot of smart coaching decisions that David Blatt failed to make last year, namely playing more than 7 guys in the entire finals.

God, thank you for drawing this link between the Pauls, “libertarianism,” and what I’ve always thought I was the only person to refer to as “South Park politics.”

Don’t you mean, “if you own a company and pay your employees to deliver food during a terrible snowstorm, you are a terrible person”?

No joke, summer is the worst season. I loathe being hot. All I ever want is to need to wear a heavy coat. Also, I think some people really are just genuinely drawn to melancholy. The darkening days are romantic to some of us.

I dunno. I think humans still have something on the lions. Watch below.

I don't agree with the "there is no acceptable level of any chemical to ingest, ever" statement, but "chemicals" in colloquial use overwhelmingly means "synthetic chemicals."

What gets me, though, is the depressing irony of the whole thing. LeBron may have served up the pile of hot shit that was "The Decision," but it was the media that ate it up like it was the last meal they would ever eat.
