Dave Chappelle addressed this in a stand-up routine years ago! There’s no loophole for singing along to songs that use the n-word.
I have no issue with women-only social clubs and this investigation seems kind of dumb to me. But completely separate from the issues discussed here, it’s more than a little *problematic* for Audrey Gelman to talk about creating safe spaces for women given her relationship with Terry Richardson and silence on the…
Hell yes - I finally dumped The Walking Dead two seasons ago when I realized I hadn’t been enjoying it for a long time, but I was kind of taken aback by how much it felt like a weight had been taken off my shoulders.
I loooved this movie in high school, didn’t think about it for a long time, then came across it when I was getting rid of old DVDs ahead of a move recently and felt deep shame about ever liking such a truly awful movie.
Yeah I guess factually unsupported would be a better way of phrasing it. There has not been a ton of research on the specific question of pedophilia but analogous research has not borne out the conclusion that fantasies are linked to action (e.g. there does not appear to be a link between watching extreme porn and…
My opinion would remain the same. I would think it was deeply, deeply disturbing, but there are pedophiles in the world who don’t act on their urges who could benefit from a way to act out their fantasies without hurting anyone. But then I also oppose bans on simulated child pornography, which result from a…
I have never understood Mike Lupica - it’s not just the bad takes (I’m a regular reader of the Daily News so I’m well aware that almost none of their sports writers ever have good takes) as much as it is that he’s just a shitty writer. Who the fuck writes a sports column in the second person present tense? And don’t…
From what I’ve seen of VAR in soccer so far, it has the same problem as replays in any other sport that uses them - namely that you can slow down a play and look at it as many times as you want and STILL have the ref make the wrong call or have two reasonable people who understand the rules of the game disagree about…
Sure Annette Benning’s character in American Beauty is written as a no-fun ice queen, but I would quibble with the idea that Kevin Spacey is “sold to us as a hero.” You’re definitely meant to have sympathy for middle class ennui, but the movie doesn’t shy away from him being skeevy as fuck. I think we can all agree…
It definitely depends on the kind of bar, but regardless you should understand that you’re bringing your kid into an adult place and you shouldn’t ask other adults to police their language or conduct for the benefit of your kid. I’ve been to too many bars in Brooklyn where someone brings their kid and then gives other…
At a certain point with professional baseball’s growing hostility to the concept of extra innings, why bother playing the innings at all? Why not have a mini home run derby to settle tie games? It would make as much sense as this.
I don’t know why you have to write an entire article about Bill Simmons.
Kind of reminds me of how the opening credits of Battlestar Galactica always said that the Cylons had a plan but then the show never explained, or even really hinted at, what that plan was beyond “kill all humans.”
One lazy Saturday in college me and some friends (one of whom had a long, Gandalf-style pipe) made a plan to watch all three Lord of the Rings movie and smoke a bowl every time a character smokes a pipe on screen. We fell asleep on the couch halfway through Fellowship and woke up at like 11pm.

My wife and I went last summer and (she speaks French, I don’t) she taught me to say “Desole, je suis American” by way of telling people I didn’t speak French. It always got a laugh and then people were happy to switch to English (or do their best).
Very much not confined to football. Signed, someone who has been told to stop being insubordinate for politely asking why our company does something a certain way in a one-on-one meeting with a manager.
Couldn’t Netflix just invest in some actually good yakuza movies that are hard to find in the US? I’m sure the American streaming rights aren’t very expensive, so it’s not like a “why doesn’t Netflix have all of the summer blockbusters” situation. Like they used to have way more Hong Kong cinema too but that seems to…
I’ll just chime in that no one is more sick of these trend stories than people who actually live in Brooklyn, since most of us are self-aware enough to at least sort of accurately judge our food and culture (everyone gives themselves a bit of a hometown overestimation). I find that bad Brooklyn trend stories are often…
