I don’t think the problem is that they “locked” him out. Most jewelers have a door like that. The problem is that they didn’t let him in, and thought he looked suspicious basically because he’s black...

My rent includes electric...and there’s something in the lease about an A/C surcharge...but nothing about a hot tub surcharge...nothing else that would seem to prohibit this. What could possibly go wrong?

Does this mean I need to pay $10/month just to see Gawker Media YouTube videos? Or am I still able to see them with ads for free? And you guys just have to “partner” with the new Red service so I can still see your videos, with ads, for free?

I’m very confused by what’s happening here. How does one get to the point of making money off YouTube? Is it just being popular? Or do you have to be popular AND agree to terms with YouTube? Couldn’t YouTube just cancel their contracts for non-Red channels as opposed to making them private? Is the end result of this…

Thank god for the Penguin bros. If only because they made me look back at the Lakers Bros gif for the first time in a long time.

Last night’s game was so incredibly entertaining. I’m a Yankee fan, so I had no interest in last night, and I had a stake in the TNF game, but that game last night definitely held my attention.

Wait, Rob Ford isn’t the mayor of Toronto anymore?!?! Way to bury the lede

Mets fans have been clamoring to get rid of Murphy for years...that was my first reaction when he stole third. And it was my first reaction when he hit the HR.

I was coming here to post something along these lines. This is the craziest postseason...

I get your points, objectively. But the difference for me is that there was a period in time when Fedor was legitimately unstoppable. Hendo never had that, his losses were regularly sprinkled throughout his career, and you just never felt like Hendo was going to dominant every fight like you did with Fedor in his…

This the other thing. Excuse me fore generalizing, but 2nd Amendment enthusiasts have a large overlap with right wingers, and they’re usually the first to jump up and say “I have nothing to hide, so let the NSA spy away.” So willing to give up those rights, but try to make it more difficult to obtain a lethal weapon…

Except for the fact that the NRA, the most high profile supporter of 2nd Amendment “rights,” has explicitly stated over and over again that the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, so we should be encouraging gun ownership with laxer gun laws, as opposed to passing additional reforms.

I guess at best they’re ambiguous. In the first paragraph of the statement announcing the suspension they call it an “illegal slide” but then go on to say that “the determination of whether a baserunner has intentionally interfered with a player attempting to turn a double play is left to the judgment of the Umpire on…

Man, I almost cried when I heard this news. Fedor is my all-time favorite fighter. And while I thought PRIDE was better than UFC (back when both existed), I’m not one of these diehards who’ll get violently angry at suggestion that UFC was better. In his prime, the man was untouchable. No doubt the greatest of his…

Yeah, but there’s usually an explicit recognition that it wasn’t called properly on the field/ice. In this instance, MLB is saying the umpires got the call right, but we’re going to discipline Utley anyway. That doesn’t fly in my book. I think Utley absolutely should be disciplined. I just think MLB has to admit that…

Yes, because what this situation really needed was a bunch of “good guys” firing off rounds in a crowded parking lot. That would have solved everything!

I mean, when I think Dallas Cowboy fans, I think high-brow, cultured invidividuals. So high-brow in fact that I imagine they wouldn’t even show up but for the Kapoor sculpture and the other art work throughout the stadium.

Well that’s not the argument the NRA makes. In their dystopian fever dream there’s armed guards at every school and college or really anywhere people congregate, and in case the armed guards fail, don’t fret, because everyone else has guns too! Including teachers! Because “good guys with guns” will save us from all…

I think the argument that he’s being suspended for a “legal baseball play” is complete and utter horseshit. Yes, the rulebook says its an umpire’s judgment call. But what happened here is that MLB realized their umpire’s call was complete and utter horseshit on so many fucking levels. Utley was out on the neighborhood…
