I think sometimes we give adults way too much credit for knowing things we assume they should know. I think it’s very possible, if not probable, that the Covington Catholic teachers - who are probably pulling down about $30,000 a year, tops - didn’t know enough about blackface’s legacy in 2013 or 2015 or whenever…

My wife and I went on a trip abroad with three other couples a few years ago. I work in middle management for a nonprofit and my wife is a teacher. In other words, we set our table, but we were (and remain) the least settled financially of all the couples. At the other end of the spectrum on that trip was a hedge-fund…

Our tree started dying (I mean, more than most) as soon as we brought it home this year. I mean, it never took any water. It was a miracle it lasted through the day itself. So we’ll go ahead and get scratched up by the dry-ass needles and get rid of that shit tonight or tomorrow.

Lucy Dacus? LUCY DACUS? Come on, people.

Thielen’s a white receiver, so let’s just call this the beginning of his Pats job interview.

Imagine the crazy shit that gets left on Avenatti’s voicemail. I’d bet folks come to him with all sorts of insane stories about Trump and his people, some of which are likely true. Then he gets the fun job of running that shit down to see if there’s any truth to it.

My god, the “superior machine” line was just so incredibly well struck. Maybe the best character detail they’ve given Kevin. Of course he’d have an Android.

Hey, it’s my alma mater!

I was a mover the summer after I graduated college, before I found a “real job.” This was in 2003, which will be important later. Me and a coworker had a move scheduled from our little Virginia town to NYC on Aug. 14. Why do I remember the date? Because we started getting calls on the way up that they didn’t have…

Skip’s true crime is great, but for my money, he’s never written anything better than Still Life. Just a remarkable story.

Said it more times than George Thorogood.

Is it a #notallmen to defend a specific man? Because Michael Cera wasn’t there. #notmichaelcera

This is a weird thought that I don’t even know if I fully believe, but I’m going to say it anyway: No show has ever been made irrelevant by an event like Broad City with Trump’s election. I don’t know if it was the tone or the fact that Hillary was such a big plot point (and guest star!), but as soon as I turned on an…

Nah, he’s got his head on straight. I think his parents are both lawyers or something like that. You have to be focused and come from some means to get a hoops scholarship out of Gate City, VA.

A Deadspin Celtics article needs WAY more salt, IMHO.

Another negative factor: This will kill off whatever’s left of the U.S. automotive export market.

Or we could ban opening acts and see the band we actually care about.

Good riddance to the most obnoxious (and one of the least deserving) teams in the tournament. That Syracuse can suck all year long and miraculously become relevant for three games every year is one of the enduring mysteries of our time.

Notre Dame didn’t deserve to get in. They lost to Ball State and Indiana with Colson and Farrell. They got boatraced by Sparty and Duke with Colson and Farrell. They lacked quality wins. They beat Wichita in Maui, Cuse, VT and...that’s really it.
