Why is this a GIF? (Also, Ja Rule, eeesh, come on guy.)

Are the letters blinking or should I consult with my doctor?

I’m legit looking forward to the “Lonzo Ball finally gets tired of this shit, cuts business ties with his father, father utterly baffled” story that feels like it’s about five years away.

All I can think to myself is how incredibly excited Lonzo would be to sign a shoe deal with Nike or Adidas. That’s every young basketball player’s dream.

I wouldn’t want to be stuck in an airport with a bunch of pissed off lifestyle bloggers, that’s for damn sure.

I remember the episode airing, and what a big deal it was for my [very closeted] high school friends. I remember fellow classmates being absolutely awful about the show, about Ellen, about having “gayness” forced on them or whatever.

I love all these “champions of the working man” cheering as people lose their jobs....

Um yeah, they were pretty liberal about spending money on exclusive TV rights to events.

People shit on Draft Day for being unrealistic, but in reality, some GMs really are that stupid.

I think anyone attending a draft party has already lost.

Did they say anything about why they think it makes sense for universities to be running professional-level minor-league sports operations to begin with?

There’s no getting around the fact that they made the final horror at the end of a gauntlet of misogyny a…

Silence of the Lambs, incidentally, is a deeply feminist film. I love this brief shot from near the beginning, which tells you basically everything you need to know about Clarice, the FBI, and the entire movie:

Yes, it’s super annoying.

Threadjack: is anybody else seeing Jez flipped? Usually on my screen the stories are on the right and the “you may want to” stuff’s on the left but it’s all turned around.

Jeb Bush: Please clap.

No couple REALLY cues up an episode of Real Sex to get in the mood.

For fuck’s sake. Surly there are less disgusting ways to avoid getting drafted by the Cleveland Browns.
