Before we moved out to the suburbs (/shudders), there was a guy who would walk around outside our apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan shouting “glory, glory, glory . . . . hallelujah.” The “hallelujah” was always delivered with even more gusto than the three or four preceding “glories,” as if he relished…

Bingo.

This is the point I was trying to make yesterday, but in far more intelligible and thoughtful prose. This weekend marked the brandification of what had been an authentic protest. Burger King stands with our partners in the NFL in celebration of the unifying strength of our great symbols. Now it’s all sound and…

I like this take. It’s certainly the righteous one. I hope it’s the right one, too.

This is probably fodder for a separate blog, and maybe someone will do one this week, but hasn’t this Whole Thing jumped the shark? In the last 72 hours, one man’s elegant protest has been watered down to a cheap political litmus test. It’s the ice-bucket challenge writ large, but without the laughs. Every player’s…

I’d like to extend a personal thank you to these athletes. It can’t be fun to be the target of nasty, mean-spirited tweets from an ignorant racist. But as long as you guys are standing strong, doing the right thing, and distracting him, he’s not nuking anyone. Keep up the good work.

Ayesha Curry, ftw.

Nothing wrong with anything Billy wrote here, but I vote for leaving this kid alone. Heaven knows I don’t want my boys answering for all the stupid shit I’ve ever said and done.

Yes you can! Yes you can hold it in! I routinely don’t shit myself -it’s been years, man - and I eat all kinds of stuff, ranging from very healthy to very unhealthy. That was the whole point: you can hold it in if you’re not in the midst of a four-hour run. Running is the only activity that people engage in…

+1 this is super, man

This feels like a Twitter thing that should happen. #TomBradyThinks

so good. still laughing.

Besides running, and I don’t know I guess having a baby, what other activity would people continue to participate in with such gusto if they knew there was a good chance it could make them shit uncontrollably in their pants? I feel like Pokemon Go might not have been quite the rage that it was if it sent players…

Can someone hack Kinja so I can star this another 50 times?

[Spicer’s] appearance last night a stark reminder that the people who created this bit believed it was a good idea, and that the people who guffawed at Spicer’s willingness to self-deprecate (and kikied and selfied with him during the post-Emmy parties) might identify as progressive but possess a cushion of privilege…

I was rooting for Canelo, but GGG won that fight. And 118-110 is just a joke. But I’m gonna buy the rematch. So they win. It’s that simple.

I hope you’ll do a blog on this. I’m 92% sure that I disagree with you. But, I’d like to understand your position better before I tell you why you’re wrong. Seems to me that Oliver does a great job of covering some lesser-known issues in much greater depth than they get anywhere else.

Whoa . . . does Last Week Tonight fall into the same category / format? John Oliver is almost single-handedly keeping me sane and maintaining my faith in humanity right now.

This is a statement in the guise of a question: in one of these group chats about 8-12 months ago we all agreed that Trevor Noah just wasn’t getting it done (someone suggested Sam Bee and John Oliver as a way to get the fix, and both were excellent suggestions that we’ve incorporated into the DVR). But anyone who…

How did Umpyre Jones take it?
