My brother always has a hustle going on and took him till his mid 40's before he found stable employment. I never give him a cent. But, I would totally buy him a ticket for a funeral because really, it’s not that serious and I’m not that petty. To not do it for his own mother’s funeral is some grade A bullshit

Yes! If someone is empathetic enough to understand that it would be hard for Vanessa Bryant or her kids to have Kobe’s rape trial rehashed right now ... surely they’re also empathetic enough to understand that it would be hard for any sexual assault victims (but especially Kobe’s!) to read these fawning posts that…

“Too soon” means “never”.

I saw the reaction to Sonmez’s tweet yesterday and was holding my breath for the WaPo’s reaction. Yup. They made the wrong call, just like I thought they would. You don’t punish a reporter for conveying accurate information. She didn’t tweet it directly to his family. She didn’t add commentary calling him anything…

Thank you. For a reporter to be punished by a purported news organization for accurately pointing out that he was very credibly accused of rape, is fucking insane.

Yeah he literally gave himself that name after Kill Bill Vol. 2 came out. Lame.

I think the point is that he literally gave it to himself after watching Kill Bill so no one was calling him by it before he designed a branding campaign with Nike.

If I’m being honest, I have a hard time seeing the good. I don’t think I’ve looked at a picture of Kobe Bryant in the last 15 years without my first thought being “rapist.” Lots of men move on and forget. Women, particularly those who have been subjected to sexual violence at the hands of men, don’t necessarily just…

Yes. This case is one of the best examples out there of a victim doing everything right in the aftermath of an assault and still getting totally chewed up by the system. She told a friend. She went to the hospital. She got an exam done. The exam documented evidence, including bruising around her throat (Bryant choked…

I thought the one rule of nicknames was that you were not allowed to give a nickname to yourself.

Rape charges are a “bump” in his history.

Most audiences are dumb.

Dear God they look old. They look like rejected Skeksis designs someone fished out of the Henson Creature Shop dumpster. Joe Perry especially.

Politically she’s the eternal victim; and it’s not hard to understand why she’ll always approach the arena in that manner.

The “Get to be black for a summer in mind mind” part is a bit off, but the rest of it is pretty clearly him saying:

I don’t work in video games, but I have worked (and currently do) at public companies and this is definitely plausible. They might not set out to dupe shareholders and delay the game, but it’s certainly something they’d keep in their back pocket as a “not ideal, but totally workable” solution if the game isn’t ready.…

I’m no insider so I don’t really know, but is there any truth to the idea that the reason there’s a delay “season” is because shareholder calls are over and the new fiscal year/quarter is approaching? Like, devs across the board have been able to satisfy shareholders with preorder numbers and promises of being on…

Gaming got popular, and a subset of people who built their identity around gaming being non-popular are hostile of anything that gives it wider appeal.

Tupac wasn’t no gangster and was as big a nerd as Will Smith; which is why she liked both of them.

If people want to seriously come after that guy, I don’t think he’s obligated to blur their account names. They’re probably mostly fake anyway.
