He supposedly started out as some rich guy’s kept boy back in the day. Not that there is anything wrong with being a hooker.

I didn’t realize it was the FBI’s job to run the DNC’s tech security

There are some pretty slick modern ways to slip into just about any network. The only serious way to detect an intrusion from the best is to have full copies of the systems in question in archive and do a continuous diff on the logs. A good sign you’re being hacked by someone who knows how to do it is the removal of…

We’d like a word with you, please step into the black SUV.

So Wikileaks was cool when they’re taking down Bush and the Republicans, but when they do the same to Clinton and the Democrats they’ve hit rock bottom?

No one buys those anymore.

No wonder Grantland begat a Cult of SporrsGuy. He’s their Ideal: only child of a school administrator, so, never wanted for anything, but, still, his parents divorcing changed everything.

Well, the personal essay is supposed to be ... you know ... personal.

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.

This here bad boy—never 4get!

Man, Hemingway got weird near the end.

I spent the last few weeks thinking of a tree that we used to have in the backyard of our old house. All those hours I spent under that tree looking up as the sunlight dripped like honey through the leaves. When the thin cold wire of time wasn’t pressing pushing tight against my neck. There was time back then. There’s…

Counterpoint: all personal essays suck. Except The Things They Carried, which was as much quasi-fiction memoir as it was a personal account.

I do not believe that this is a uniquely male thing. As far as I can tell, this is a new-school “journalism” thing, and I’ve started to read, and then stopped reading just as many articles from female authors as male authors. (Or at least I think they were, because sometimes I don’t go back and double check who wrote…

I guess in lieu of making something people actually like, you can intentionally under-perform and call it really edgy satire. I know when I’m insecure about the results of my efforts, I sometimes self-sabotage them - for example, if I’m making a piece of functional furniture and I want it to turn out way better than I…

The questions aren’t designed just to harass her. They were trying to get an admission to justify further exploration of her knowledge of what happened — concrete admission of Cosby’s guilt. Camille is his business manager and people have said her tough, shrewd, and that she’s rough to deal with when it comes to…

I think the question about drugs is relevant, don’t you?

She opened the door when she claimed the women were willing participants who threw themselves at Cosby. She’s also a business partner and manager, and she probably thought when this started that it would be (once again) swept under the rug. Don’t kid yourself, she’s in it up to her neck.

I don’t know whether or not I agree with this. Obviously Bill is human garbage, but I’m not sold on Camille.

She’s a piece of shit. The woman stood by while her husband ruined the lives of an endless stream of his victims. Special place in hell for her.
