There are areas of Europe even today with zero black people for a 50-100km radius. While there are places where they are almost a majority.

You understand nothing about the history of the region. Eastern Europe was absolutely full of non-white people as the Ottoman Empire was pushing further and further into the region. Merchants, sailors and diplomats all certainly passed through Bohemia. Japan at the time was largely isolated from the rest of the world…

It’s not poisonous to point out a creator’s beliefs, it’s important for contextual purposes and it’s particularly important here, where an author of historical fiction is calling it “historically accurate”. The difference between Wolfenstein 2 and Kingdom Come is that nobody is claiming that Wolfenstein 2 is…

Venice to Prague is about 500 miles, in 1403 that’s a distance that some merchants regularly traveled; one example from historical records: that Jacob Fugger had processed metals sent from the region to Venice to defeat a rival merchant. You are correct that Moor doesn’t necessarily mean “black”, but most Moors were…

Agreed. And it’s worth noting that Ryder and Reeves were basically studio decisions, shoved in because they were big names at the time.

I’m going to somewhat disagree. It’s visually gorgeous and it’s over the top in some really fun ways. Perhaps more significantly, it made it so monsters in movies were no longer considered to be just for campy, low-budget movies. Without Dracula, we probably don’t get The Shape of Water, or really just about anything…

Violence, or at least the threat of it, is lurking in the background of every so-called “peaceful” protest movement. We lionize MLK, but Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam, as well as similar groups, scared the shit out of white Americans by openly stating that black people should defend themselves. Politics and the…

Fun story, this idea has also been beaten multiple times in court. So if this passes, Rhode Island is just flushing money down the toilet.

Ladies of Deaspin, I have one question: why?

I didn’t mind them myself. It was more of a joke that, obviously, the doll doesn’t have that feature.

But does it come with impaling action?

Brings new meaning to the term “ankle breaker”.

None of these lists include “getting hit by a bus”, I am disappointed in you Deadspin!

Quite frankly, at many hospitals it is absolutely true. As someone who works with doctors behind the scenes, the ones at major hospitals who make the big money tend to be complete assholes. The broeist, pickiest, jerkiest people I’ve ever met were specialty doctors; they simply do not care. I saw a doctor have his…

All is despair, everything is ash in my mouth. US Soccer has decided, in the face of overwhelming problems that could absolutely destroy the men’s soccer program, to stay the fucking course. US Soccer has told every single fan out there “hey fuck you, your opinion doesn’t matter, fuck off and buy our shit like a good…

Huh, weird. I’ve been to Jacksonville, and while certain section were definitely run down, I wouldn’t have thought that it was so cheap to live there. As for Narnia, well it seems to mostly be empty according to Mr. Lewis, weirdly enough.

Do you live in fucking Narnia?

Only a small fraction make it to the NFL and actually make a living from it. Almost certainly everyone in this video has CTE. Almost certainly they had it when they entered the NFL, and it has simply gotten worse. The 18-22 year old kids destroying their brains for no pay are exploited by the NCAA. The kids destroying…

This, of course, varies, but negotiations with players is not like what you may have seen in movies. Remember, players are paying agents to do this sort of stuff for them, that’s why they get their percent of the deal. Generally speaking, an agent (and their agency, if they’re part of one) would negotiate with…
