Historical narratives are not necessarily a byproduct of late capitalism. I would say it's the limitations of the medium (a video game) that strip AC of any nuance. Historical scholarship is as vibrant as ever right now.

Yeah, the recent claim in the media that you're likely referencing turned out to be based on very spurious science. Truth is, we will probably never know the identity of Jack the Ripper.

I've always hated the "animus" parts of the Assassin's Creed storylines and always wished they'd instead have settled on making each game entirely a historical set piece with its own contained story. But I have a degree in history, and I've played the games almost exclusively just to wander around a city from some…

I've had an involuntary psych hold before. Although I simply have depression and OCD (thus, no delusions); still, I never lost my ability to consent despite how off I was.

The second verse in this song, he explicitly apologizes for saying that.

I actually really enjoyed this new Eminem track. His self-awareness has always appealed to me.

You do understand none of his lyrics are an actual reflection of his actual beliefs, right?

If you laughed, you're an asshole and exactly the type of person my comment was directed towards.

That makes you an asshole, you know?

Please, my fellow Gawkerites, what she did was irresponsible but let's not gloat over someone's accidental and tragic death because it confirms your already held political beliefs about gun control.

If you can't wait for the supply to rebound enough that you'd pay $118 for one of these then you have a problem with delayed gratification.

The phrase "go die in a fire" has never been more applicable.

This is being filed away in the "Not Actually Funny By Itself But Funny Because Someone Is Dumb Enough To Say It" file.

(Full-Disclosure: I fucking hate Duke. It's been 20+ years and we still have to deal with seeing replays of The Shot every tournament. Although it was a bit of karmic justice that we won the title in 2012, which was the 20th anniversary of that terrible event).

Half-court sets have never really been Cal's strong suit…

+1 Internets, sir. You nailed it.

The best anyone can hope to do, I think, is shoot 50% from three while stifling our guys with a zone. We're not replete with shooters, although rumors are Devin Booker is good from 3 (but he's been really cold to start the year). And you can't count out My Personal Jesus (Aaron Harrison). Who knows, maybe some guys…

They're on our heels for the college program with the most wins. Anything we can take over them is cathartic.

Being in the program is such a pressure cooker that fans expect a drubbing of every team like this. But I gotta say, as a life-long UK fan, it was cathartic watching them beat the bricks off Kansas. How good is Kentucky? We don't know yet, but the pieces are there to do something special.

The only person not understanding anything is the flaws in your moral judgments and your inability to grasp your hypocrisy.

I don't respect the opinions of people with your ethical standards. So I don't care to call you what you are.
