Good for VW? When are you idiots going to WAKE UP? We need MORE regulation, not less. Multinational corporations are actually destroying the planet. Are you really so solipsistic that you don’t care that human life is about to become very, very uncomfortable and possibly imperiled, even for the ultra-wealthy, because…

Just don’t waltz until you get permission from one of the patronesses. you don’t want to be considered fast.

I’m assuming it’s the agent doing all this strategizing, since JPP was too stupid to let go of a lit explosive.

That game was excruciating to watch. I’m not a homer, but I like Chip Kelly and was hoping his insane-seeming personnel moves weren’t actually insane.

Alas, they clearly were. I can’t bear to look it up, but I bet the defense put more more offensive yards than the offence, by quite a bit. And the flags! Christ, the…

Stars and hugs for the Regency reference.

I just pulled up a blog referencing Lawrence Stone’s book (which I own but it’s too hot here to go pull it open). His chart basically backs you up — average age of a peer’s daughter marrying during the Regency was early 20s.

I believe that generally speaking — at least since the…

THAT’S a movie.

I had no idea.

I’m not going to read the article, because life’s too short. But your description, plus the “magic key” excerpt makes it sound like what’s missing is the editorial integrity to make the story specifically about how once again, insiders are assuming that demographic identity politics is an easy way to get voters to…

I saw the headline on my phone this morning, but I don’t comment on my phone so I went on with my day. Finally remembered now, and came back, just to say PLEASE CORRECT YOUR HEADLINE. I skimmed past the piece and saw that eventually you rightly credit Georgette Heyer, but that should be in the headline. Austen did NOT…

I really appreciate your work, and Deadspin’s generally, around the issue of the NFL’s corruption, incompetence and malfeasance.

I also watched three games Sunday and one and a half on Monday. I gave up my Direct TV package. That’s all I could manage this year. I keep hoping Goodell will be fired and the Washington…

Tell that to all the Republican nominees to the Supreme Court, who are conservative, anti-choice Catholics.

I came back tonight to thank you for this comment. I had starred it when I read it this morning. But every time I came across the story on other sites, I noticed the lack of correct terminology. Heck, a lot of places did a MUCH worse job than Jez — often covering ONLY the killing of the professor, as if the woman’s…

But incredibly famous and successful woman = guy no one in the country has ever heard of. That’s just logic.

Except the person I was addressing was using a Brit-centric term: “Victorian”. That’s simply incorrect for the year cited. The British monarchist term for that year is Regency. Victoria wasn’t the monarch yet. I don’t actually have any idea whether a New Englander would call it Regency, but a lot of those designations…

I agree and love bringing all these issues back to the core problems of culture, business and political economy being corrupt and incompetent.

Having said that, I think part of the problem is that QBs need to be able to do some very complicated thinking and physical execution very, very quickly. If you haven’t been…

I simultaneously cried and fist-pumped reading this. Is there any possibility that she survived?

My guess would be that once he’s playing a sinner, what’s the diff? He played an extremely violent, sociopathic, gay/bi (they didn’t get into his sexual story enough to know what was going on with the wife on the other end of the phone) killer on Justified (quite brilliantly). He seems to be fine with pretending doing…

And she’s a lead on The 100 now, I think. So there will never be enough Zoe episodes. Sigh.

Oh, me too. Me, too.

I think, according to his religious lights, only the pretend romantic kiss to the fixer lady would count as sinning. Speaking of which, Fixer Lady is AWESOME.

My only disagreement with your definition is that one can/could/has use[d] Christianity as a progressive political weapon — i.e., as a force for economic equality and civil rights good more in keeping with the rabbi’s actual teachings (to the extent we can discern what they really were/can determine if he lived). I…
