“Those meanie players that failed to prioritize the pure baseball of my imagination over their one chance at lifetime health care if not millions of dollars are big dumb stupidheads! The players of MY halcyon youth are clearly superior in every way but especially morally!”

As a general rule, if you have to tell people that you were being satirical, it’s your fault, not theirs. This was not satirical.

If you take the really long view of this, it could actually help the rank and file who “only” make a few million. If the NBA as an entity makes more money, they the cap goes up and the lower ends of the payscale go up as well. And why would this help the NBA grow? Well, if the starts stay with a team for a long…

Hey look, an Iowa fan.

Guaranteed Fran McCaffrey stresses full effort for forty minutes and is a real asshole if any of his players look disinterested when facing an insurmountable deficit late in a game.

In a vacuum, the fine and punishment are perfectly cromulent. 

Serious question and I’m not being tongue in cheek: Who is worse? Comey who wrote it or Chaffetz who sits on the Oversight Committee and couldn’t wait to release it?

yep. and the worst Christmas song is the one about the Christmas Shoes.

or you know, just turn around and walk a away like a sane person dealing with an insane person.

As someone who works with many people who are on disability, I will say this: in some circles, maybe you and everyone you know is on SNAP and/or SS(D)I... it’s the norm. So you don’t necessarily think of it as being related to “Big Brother”. Also, this article just makes me think of why I encourage my clients on SSI…

The real question is whether the public have the media literacy and civic literacy to even be alarmed at this. I think the answer is no, and has been for some time. Trump is taking advantage of this preexisting vulnerability.

After all, Republicans have spent the last eight years providing us with such a great example of maturity and acceptance.

“Heathens” is not only the worst song of the year, it’s the worst song of the last three years. Its omission is unforgivable.

“We won”? What did Scott Baio win, again?

Counterpoint: 24K Magic is good.

It also takes this:

You’ve really cracked the case open.

“I speak for Asians when I say we’re upset at you.” “Can you explain why you think people are upset about this thing, so I can understand.” “This bitch thinks I speak for Asians, fuck her.”

I cannot for the life of me get why people don’t get this. This isn’t looking for a minority mentor. This is someone deliberately misrepresenting a conversation for attention and advocate street cred. She threw a colleague (in the loosest sense) under the bus when that colleague didn’t deserve it. She got called out…

I’m guessing that Cho doesn’t understand why a lot of people are pissed at her. It has nothing to do with her feelings that Asian actors should play Asian roles, which is completely valid. Everyone’s pissed because she took what was supposed to be a private conversation, twisted it into the worst possible…
