Doesn’t calling it projection give them too much credit? It assume they’re driven by a sense of shame when they have no shame. People like Verlander don’t secretly despise themselves; they honestly believe that they’re above criticism because they are better / richer / whiter than other people.

I don’t think he’s a fake person, just that he doesn’t know what to do. He clearly doesn’t know how to pick a kicker. Either put that on Pace or put it on your special teams coach. Instead he’s making Mack and Hicks watch the double doink for some reason.

This is not doing anything to ease my suspicion that Matt Nagy does a decent imitation of a football coach without actually knowing what a football coach does. 

This comment thread went pretty sideways, but I humbly suggest giving buona beef a shot if you’re looking for fast food options with kids.

Or that weird combination of color and hashmarks from a Sunday comic.

Wait. Are these little leaguers doing sports? I feel like maybe this is not sports. I’m just here for the sports, but not any sports in shorts. 

I’m not surprised people strongly dislike whenever a strike or labor disruption impacts their lives. I’m still always surprised that people get mad at teachers, train operators and bus drivers instead of management, who are making over six figures to fight about a 2% raise.

Yes. If only Alexis would think of the children.

Is there an industry standard for compensation and ownership of podcasts?

I don’t know how much gray are there really is. A cop that finds a baggie with powder or a pill or something that turns out to be innicuous is probably doing their job. A cop that tests bird poop or a jolly rancher is not being dumb, they’re being dishonest. 

Pulled over for the cell phone, but the cop didn’t even see the 8 empty Allagash Whites under the passenger seat.

I watched the video, and abuse is a bit of a stretch. That dog, at 75+ pounds, is not physically harmed and probably confuses her “discipline” with play. She’s an asshole, but she clearly needs training.  

I like how everyone just pretends “false positive” doesn’t mean “lying cop.”

Except it was reported that the warriors doctors told the Warriors there was no risk to the achilles. If the doctor says there’s no risk, then Durant is not assuming the risk.

Gotta have skin in the game for it to be worth it.

Huh. I read these tweets to mean that Douthat’s lady friends / significant others always want to fuck other dudes. Seems more consistent with the book excerpt.

Maybe some people are good at mass murder, but most people are lazy and dumb. Let’s make tomorrow’s mass murderers put in a little time and effort, at least.

No, I think they probably would have dismissed the sentence assuming he completed some kind of probation.

If he’s old enough to disrespect the anthem, then he’s old enough to have sex with Alan Dershowitz.
