“For my report on North Carolina, I’m going to take my shirt off and twirl it round my head like a helicopter”

Hi, someone who “works in baseball” here. This girl is not going to get signed. And here’s why:

This is an important topic and I appreciate that this article is publicizing the plight of Dominicans of Haitian descent after the horrible Supreme Court ruling in 2013. However, it fails to mention anything about the regularization process that the current Dominican government has created to address the problem and…

You’d break into the Patriots’ computers only to discover you’d actually hacked a dummy system set up specifically to attract and trap enterprising hackers. All their important information is stored in card catalogue form and stored in Belichick’s office/bedroom/bathroom/basement which are all the same room.

I’d take my dad to a Phillies game, but I love my dad.

Or really, the whole city of Rome.

Every Monday I look forward to reading people’s reactions to GoT. There is no other show in recent memory that evokes such weird reactions from its fan base. When the show does something “bad” (like rape but not burning a child alive) it is as the show is personally attacking the reviewer. People write as if the…

If any of the Royal Family were capable of raising an army of the undead, my money would be on Charles.

my take on Thoros is that he is giving up part of his life to partially return Dondarrion. he used to be a fat man(in the books), now he’s skin and bones.

All three of the actors playing the Baratheon’s in that scene were fantastic, but the actress playing Shireen stole the show. Her progression of…

Shireen’s death was sad, but Stannis is an adulterous religious zealot who burns people alive and feels he’s the rightful king because his dead older brother led a rebellion and overthrew the previous king. The guy’s not all sunshine and puppies.

Tread lightly, she is near

Guys, are we for prison or against it? Sometimes I read articles where everyone is like “prison is a hell hole that no one deserves to be in” and other times it’s much closer to “let that fucker rot in a cell for all eternity.” And often times this is being said about people who were found guilty of committing similar…

Different South Africas.

Game of Thrones? Surely there’s a more apt description. Based on the accents and level of knife crime on display, I’d also say it’s more like Glasgow after an Old Firm match.

And against the dying of the light the great houses stand.

Most? I wouldn’t go that far. It sucked to be a woman in ancient Athens and a good chunk of Greece. Neither China nor India have been particularly great for women, though things went up and down over the centuries.

Leaving this here for posterity:
