Great article. Thanks for sharing.

Wow. You kinda hear stories here and there, but no good clinical description of the shit that goes on. Thanks for explaining. Confirms some of my suspicions and anecdotal third-hand hearsay, but to hear it straight... what a f'ing sham.

Point. But at least there was a nuke involved. As in, some kind of external threat. Here, Skumm wants to use the power of AIDS hate. Also, at least the Belfast accents were GLORIOUS. Here, it's just a giant bummer from start to finish.

Oh that shit is in-famous. Tom Hanks deserves all the money and fame he once had, because he had to slog through some terrible stuff to get it.

Hang on, hang on, while staying in the same series... I think you are forgetting the AIDS episode. Verminious Skumm decides misinformation about AIDS will allow him to take over the world.

Not nearly enough is made of the painful delivery of the line. I wonder how many takes they did before the director said, "uh, yeah, that's... lets move on. lets just move on, please."

This episode was the drizzling shits. But it's SVU, so of course it would the drizzling shits.

That's just horrible. Pictures seem to back the ultras' version of events. The stadium has a seating capacity of 30,000, but authorities announced they would only allow 10,000 inside, and left one narrow entrance. Then when people started shoving and pushing, the security guards panicked and shot tear gas into…

Careful now there Mike, you keep saying decent or value neutral things about capitalism and Hamilton Nolan will show up to post a 5,000 word screed on how it kills transgendered puppies.

Well, at least its not a poetry quote next to a music note or a kitty. Swipe right.

Well, to be fair to Puti-poo, the line where the Russian government ends and private business begins is quite third world blurry. All big business in Russia is all owned and operated by his allies (if they were not his allies they could not operate big business), this shell game is even more hilarious than the usual…

Given Diaz's gimmick, this is not surprising. Silva though. Oh dear. Sherdog must be exploding, and many a sad face will wipe tears with their Brasil and Spider jerseys.

Well, on the one hand, he did sign an agreement outlining the terms of his continued employment in the NFL and violated them. On the other hand, fuck the NFL. I'm conflicted.

Wait a second, what's that? Good LORD, that's Tim Sherwood's music!

Point. But in my experience, Estonians, Ukrainians, Poles, Latvians and Chechens all do have that bloody gripe. Can't speak for Finns. Most of the Volga Germans still living in Russia that I have met think of themselves as Russians with a curious ye olden times cultural tradition, and regard Stalin's treatment of…

The Uzbek football association is talking with the Korean football sanctioning body about this incident. For what's it worth, the Russian speaking media is portraying this game as a "fight" between both sides and not Uzbeks attacking Koreans. One article even mentioned Uzbeks "retaliating." But nobody seems to…

Mostly off the top of my head, but while I knew South Korea beat Uzbekistan in the Asian Cup, I could not remember the score so I double-checked it. I also could not remember if Stalin deported Soviet Koreans in the 1920s or 1930s. (My first impulse was to say "1937," because if you had to guess when something…

To give some background here: Uzbekistan recently got eliminated from the Asian Cup by South Korea. Uzbekistan actually had a nice nil-nil tie going into extra time, and then gave up two goals. In the lead up to the match, Russian rags did some hot-takes of how the Uzbek team was much better and how they had a…

Brotherhood was awesome.

This. Oh this. Brotherhood was an improvement over ACII, introducing fun mechanics. So when Revelations came out, I picked it up day one and as soon as the intros began and were a mess, I knew I was in a bit of trouble. It was still fun, but it was nowhere near Brotherhood and ACII. That's where the rot began. …
