That’s nothing. You should see who else was throwing today...

The point here isn’t “a human driver might have killed the pedestrian, too.”

To reduce his contribution to television to saying that the people watching him just “hope . . . [he] won’t use a racial slur, belittle the #MeToo movement or an entire religion, or find smirky solidarity with a self-promoting white supremacist” is to miss his entire point and to make it for you without even knowing…

My usual technique is to put a bottle of wine in the freezer, crack open a really good beer, have like six or seven more, then forget about it because by then I don’t really want wine anymore.

It’s a little carb-heavy, but I have a fuckin’ awesome beer bottle cap collection.

“If you’re an A.V. Club reader, you probably share our general cynicism for promotional nonsense.”

What’s likely to happen (eventually) is that autonomous cars will become statistically safer drivers than humans (after all, they can perform millions of calculations a second and observe in all directions simultaneously), which will make actually driving your own car a luxury that car insurance companies will charge…

I think the Wrangler is the only manual optioned body on frame SUV left. In the US, anyway.

Slander has to be speech that is factually untrue. Someone saying that you’re cheating on your spouse is not slander if it’s true, no matter how much you don’t want people to know about it. Everything John Oliver said on his show was 100% factually accurate and true. It was, at no point, slander.

Lawsuits like these need to hit morons who file them harder than any monetary amount they may have hoped to recover. People should NOT be free to sue on a whim. There needs to be a legitimate, identifiable reason to do so. Lawsuits that are CLEARLY not filed in good faith (like this one), should not only be cause for…

Early Lexus models use sand in the firewall as a sound deadener. Many car alarm/stereo installers have hit sand while drilling holes. Lol

I am a bit embarrassed to have to spell this out so directly but maintaining separation between sales and editorial is a foundational tenet of journalistic ethics.

Either ESPN is a news-gathering operation or not. If ESPN bills themselves as a news organization - which, for the record, they do - then advertising concerns dictating editorial content is a fundamental breach of the ethics of professional journalism. A newsroom is not “any other business.”

Uh yeah, unless you’re fine with multimillion dollar corporations dictating the news to you.

“It is indisputably sexual harassment. That’s a crime,”

Her title is literally “nothing happened to shaun white”. I think we can infer that she does in fact think something should happen to him. Her article doesn’t make a compelling argument, and I remain unconvinced that there was any harm or issue here.

I’d settle for less fawning coverage of a murderous dictator’s sister, but even that is apparentlytoo much to ask.

You’re such a brave hero for pointing out that nothing happened to a man who was never charged with a crime and settled a lawsuit.

Honest question - would this story have been written if he did not win gold? It seems like there was ample time to discuss White in the lead up to the games. I am not defending him, I don’t personally have any affinity for the guy, he kinda sounds like a piece of shit and I know many people that know him and have…
