Yeah, the fan probably yelled “Hey Matt! What’s a common slur for homosexuals that begins with F and ends with T? Not that there’s anything wrong with that!” It’s important to get the whole story.

To say that his attitude was “entitled” is a gross mischaracterization. He went out of his way to explain that he didn’t blame the dealership or Mercedes for not wanting to bargain with him, in that that there was no to little upside for them. He praised the engineering of the car to high heaven. He praised the…

Also bears mentioning that the Warriors hatred (or at least antipathy) that everyone is claiming arises out of signing KD and creating a juggernaut didn’t actually start this season— see also the constant, inevitable chants of “blew a 3-1 lead” and “ball kickers” any time a Warriors story goes up on Deadspin since…

If you watch the video he does this little pat pat thing after he gets his hand up there— a little like drumming his fingers. It’s an anger tell and he does that all the time— when he’s been caught out or forced to do something because he’s in public or just doesn’t like what he’s hearing he starts tapping his foot or…

Jalop runs piece on Apple car. Commentariat rushes to post increasingly labored takes on proprietary connectors, closed systems and hipster form over function.

The trouble is there is a significant percentage of the population that will like the sound of that. Even if they’re deeply unclear regarding North Korea in general, or what trouble, specifically, they’re looking for, the whole idea of calling someone out for “asking for it” coupled with, in effect, “we’ll give them…

But that’s not what happened. They’re not investigating the legitimacy of his claim, they’re digging into his past to see if there’s anything that casts him in a negative light. Discovering he’s had troubles in the past has zero bearing on his status as a doctor now, unless your idea is that he’s not really a doctor…

The “I’m a doctor, I have patients” card? WTF? So now literally anything is a “card”? What about the “I’m pregnant, please don’t hurt my baby” card? I guess that would make it legit to look into just what kind of caregiver this so called “mother” really was? How about the “I have diabetes, I need to get to my insulin”…

States that carry guns have less crime than anywhere else because you never know who is gonna shoot you if you rob a store, bank with a gun.

Trump on Kim Jong-un: “He’s a strong leader. An incredibly... and might I add, very, very successful. Very powerful, very successful, a real leader. He’s said very nice things about me.” “He’s killed a lot of his own government.” “We kill all the time. Constant. Constant. People are saying, I heard, there are bodies…

I can’t be the only one who knows how it’s pronounced but might say “Porsh” in the same general way one says “Chevy” for “Chevrolet”? You know, like an affectionate nickname?

Yes, but recall that Michael says (to Eleanor) “I can’t believe you figured it out— you always ruin everything.” There’s nothing in the run of the show to suggest that Eleanor has “ruined” any of Michael’s plans, so I think he’s saying that it’s always Eleanor that figures it out on every loop. He can’t believe she…

Yeah, burning trash and breaking windows is much like the Boston Tea Party, now that I think about it.

If by “a different way” you mean smashing shop windows, vandalizing cars and setting trash on fire, what, exactly, does that accomplish? Aside from giving the media something to focus on while they write their stories about “protests turn violent.”

Noam Chomsky has a great take on this idea— he talks about how (at the time) short attention span television privileges conventional wisdom because conventional wisdom, by its very nature, only takes a few seconds to convey: “the troops are heroes”, “America stands for freedom”, “terrorists fear our democracy” and so…

Doucheruptor?

Bama had its worst offensive performance of the year, by far, against Washington. In my house, at least, there was speculation that Kiffin didn’t have his head in the game and had already checked out. If you can’t trust him to give it his all then better to show him the door and let someone who wants it step in.

Welp, just weighing in as another recovering alcoholic (30 years sober).

You make a great Trump guy—credulous and stupid. Nobody was saying 4 billion, that was something Trump made up. So now Boeing gets to claim they’re going to bring it in for less (not that it matters since the full bill won’t come due till Trump is out of office) without having to change a thing, while having played…

Trump did the same thing with the boeing about the airforce 1 replacement being overpriced.
