I can’t keep up with the shit coming out these days. Was Flynn Jr. caught up in his daddy’s plot to raid that Turkish cleric’s house in the Philly suburbs and black bag him to Erdogan?

It’s definitely decreased significantly in the last decade-plus, but yeah, it’s still a “recognized” part of the game. If you want to see true mayhem, look up some of the Norris Division crap from the 80s-early 90s, like the St. Patrick’s Day Massacre or the Good Friday Massacre. Some guys built whole careers out of…

And Steinbrenner. He got suspended for illegal contributions to Richard Nixon’s campaign and then later banned for paying gamblers to spy on Dave Winfield.

Alexandre Dumas, the dude who wrote The Three Musketeers, was black. His dad was a brigadier general in the French army and was originally the son of a slave woman and a marquis in Haiti. The titles went away with the French Revolution, but they were still considered nobility.

Or, if you believe the conspiracy theories, you hire Jeff Fisher to kill any chance of your team being good, so you can blame lack of fan attendance when you bail out of St. Louis, then have a sacrificial lamb to throw to the masses in LA and a high draft pick to turn into the new face of the franchise.

Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971) - You can’t arrest someone for disorderly conduct for wearing a jacket that says “Fuck the draft”. It’s 100% exactly on point and directly from SCOTUS.

Also, “thick skin”? Wasn’t that some eugenics bullshit for why slaves didn’t feel pain from being whipped?

I’d also like to throw a shout-out to Nnedi Okorafor, who is doing some really cool stuff in sci-fi and fantasy, including YA/children’s stuff.

I read this site damn near every day, and the number one thing I’ve learned as a white guy is “shut the fuck up, unless you have something helpful to say*”. Oh, and no comment that I make should ever be about how anything I’m reading affects me personally, because 99.999999% of the time, the author isn’t speaking to…

I mean, she’s *literally* embraced her Becky-hood:

I remember the friendship he and Chris Carpenter had, even after Carp left the Jays. Watching the two of them duel out that Game 5 in Philly in 2011 was my favorite part of that postseason - Halladay had absolutely no quit in him at all.

Wikipedia tells me that he was im-molay-ted on March 18, 1314. The arrests by Philip supposedly took place on Friday the 13th of October, 1307.

I mean, she was National Security Advisor and head cheerleader for the Iraq invasion for Bush’s first term. She didn’t get the state dept. gig until after Powell left.

Nope. Not Washington.

Laws vary from state to state, but where I am, the person who has a petition for guardianship and conservatorship filed against them has certain rights: 1) they get counsel appointed by the court, for free, 2) they have the right to a jury trial, 3) their entire family has to be notified of the proceedings, 4) they…

This one?

Maybe I was in a haze of Pierre/Milbury induced nausea, but I’m pretty sure the boys from St. Louis crashed Sid-the-Kid’s party last night and beat him in OT.

What’s the ruling on Twister? On the one hand, you have Bill Paxton as your heroic lead, which seemed...dubious, but on the other hand, you have PSH quoting Repo Man and a slimy Cary Elwes as the bad guy who gets torn the fuck up. It made a shitload of money, but I don’t know if you could call it “good”, per se.
