No alcohol on US Navy ships unless you’ve been at sea for 90 consec days in which case you get a ‘steel beach’ picnic and everyone get’s 2 beers. The cheat code is to be a pilot and cross deck to a ship starting with “HMS” where they pull the Guinness nightly.

The story of the Denver Post (and its sister papers across the country) deserves more coverage. Their chain, Digital First Media, is owned by a secretive hedge fund (Alden Global Capital) that has been decimating newsrooms of late. In the Bay Area, The Mercury News and the East Bay Times just got clobbered with…

That’s James Bahe. 90 fights before age 16 will make you good.

We are angry, but the brainwashed centrists call us Russian trolls if we don’t parrot Joy Ann Reid.

Are they going to be asked to denounce Bannon, or do we only care about that when it’s Farrakhan?

This is the same guy who keeps signing off on ridiculous op-eds and other columns in the NYT? Is his picture next to ‘tone deaf’ in Websters now?

Vox is such garbage. You always know a Vox reader/ listener by the Ezra Klein neolib Shit they regurgitate.

Its so awful. The fucking smug Acela Corridor fucks and their Bari Weisses and Dean Baquets with their distancing language “I’d argue that..” Fuck you dude. You just feel good stroking yourself over your shitty ass Edmund Burke liberalism.

Being dead doesn’t earn Russert respect he didn’t deserve while alive. Russert was the one who shifted Meet the Press into Meet the Republicans (with a widely disproportionate representation of GOP guests every week - clocked at an average of 60-40% R-D). Unfortunately, Todd has kept that going. Just yesterday he had…

Being tough on people in power is not, in fact, his job. His job is to do a little dance where he provides a forum for D and R talking points while maintaining some shred of journo credibility. In between the Archer Daniels Midland commercials. It’s called access journalism. We may as well be honest about that. If the…

You know you’re in the Washington bubble when “respect for the president” is a topic you discuss with children.

We’ve got a breaking story to cover here in the Splinter Comment Section. I’m being told that the American press is vapid and awful and nearly as bad as the awful politicians they cover, largely because they’re all paid by the exact same people. Sources are telling the Splinter Comment Section that bullshit like this…

I demand an origin story for each of Paulie’s track suits.

He never had the makings of a varsity athlete.....

This is quite possibly the worst take Aran has had in a while.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Eh. It still doesn’t seem as racist and presumptuous as the word “Latinx.”

I truly hate, loathe, detest being on the side of Bill Simmons and Albert Breer - who, to a distinct degree more than even Bill Simmons, fucking sucks! - but Dave Zirin hasn’t ever met a Very Serious Issue he wasn’t ready to immediately pounce on and amplify with Great Righteous Indignation.

Disney’s grand plan to completely monopolize the motion industry is going along smoothly. They have the 54 billion in cash to nab FOX and this weekend will have the top spots in the BO. Wrinkle in Time and Black Panther will likely make more combined than the rest of the BO put together. This is going to have serious…

I wonder if the main character will be loyle to his capo.
