Some guy at a party once tried to tell us all that merpeople were real because he saw a documentary about it. When we IMDBed his documentary and it was clearly labeled a mockumentary, he scoffed, "IMDB is no more reliable than Wikipedia." True story.

now i kinda want to hear tig notaro read the importance of being earnest.

From a scientific point of view, seeing a deviation that enormous is a serious red flag. Typically when you're talking about outliers you see something on the order of 10 to 15% in extreme cases. 500% is the mother of all anomalies. In a lab, when you see something that unusual it's a good idea to check your…

The air pressure argument, while plausible, is moot—either way is moot—because there wasn't enough relevant data collected at the right time. A critical piece of information that is missing is the air temperature of the room at the time the ball was inflated. Most people I've seen working out the Ideal Gas Law…

Best I can tell, she's inadvertently saying all of us are fucking idiots for trying to talk sports, logic, or math with a woman.

Whoa man, slow down

I, for one, am glad you went into emergency medicine, because someone is going to have to treat thugcat's kinjury...

Considering the fact that you suggested that because I'm a woman I should have gone into pediatrics instead of emergency medicine, no.

I don't care about 31 other teams because 31 other teams haven't got caught... Including the Colts who's balls were checked to be OK, so that is actually 3o teams.

If deflating a ball is so minuscule why can't the Patriots just own it?

Roger Goodell: [Roger hears a drip in the motel bathroom] Weren't you the last one to use the bathroom?

thanks Gregggggg. You're talking about the integrity of a league that tried to ignore one of its stars punching out his fiancee in public.

I love the article so so so so so so much. SO MUCH. I am just afraid that the way it is being portrayed around the internet, people are thinking "tl;dr" - he hates the show i shouldn't watch it" and I don't want it to lose an audience because of that. I actually read comments that said a variation of that on a number…

I get angry at the people I love all the time. It doesn't mean I stop loving them.

MLK wasn't the only one fighting for civil rights but his message of love and peace didn't cost white liberals who supported him nothing. When he started talking about open housing and poverty in communities of colour, they abandoned him. Why do you think they only teach you that mushy stuff about MLK? It's cheap and…

I know. That is quite a luxury you have to delude yourself that way. I don't choose to see the world that way, that's how the world is. I am not that cynical, I just have no problem with seeing how the word is.

"Here's the hard truth: There is no way the world "should" be, some perfect Eden that we have deviated from.…

Love. And Compassion. And Patience.

Because if I had ignored them when they asked me to lower my voice, then everything I said after that would have been moot.

You are for real with this garbage. Can you not realize that I'm angry because people have their foot on my neck. Racism isn't just some annoying quirk people have. It's not a pet peeve. I be you're one of those, "I don't see color" type assholes. Racism made me angry. People like you, treating racism as "that…

Love and compassion? Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit. I'm supposed to be nice to some assholes while they deny me my humanity? That's garbage. Tell me how nice I need to be to that cop that plans on shooting me. These cops have been getting nothing but niceness. If we wanted to actually be mean, we…

The onus shouldn't be on the oppressed, but the onus is on the oppressed, whether we like it or not.
