“God, I wish the Bulls had dropped that last game to the Nets. Celtics-Heat would have been a terrific first-round series.”

Shut up Drake.

To be fair, it was a very stupid question. Do you really think Donald Trump watches hockey after what happened to his favorite team 37 years ago?

I’m pretty much happy anytime anyone remembers Strong Bad and Homestar.

I wonder how it feels to be the first Supreme Court Justice with an asterisk after his name, for the illegitimate way in which he ascended to the Court.

Please pay no attention to the fact I warned them ahead of time and made sure not to hit anything important.

This is what is so baffling to me, too (other than the obvious objective lack of humanity). What could have possibly been worth this kind of ubiquitous negative publicity?? I literally cannot imagine, from the perspective of an airline employee, why forceably removing a passenger was even an option they considered. Th…

“[A]n immature and stupid response that literally could not have ended any other way.” What an impressively succinct encapsulation of exactly the type of reflexive bootlickery Burneko denounced in his piece. And the nice thing is, you can make literally the same exact argument in favor of literally any act of defiance…

Labor forgets its class consciousness sometimes, but capital never does.

what pisses me off about this is the whole employee transfer thing. that united would rather 1) offer $3200 for people to disembark to save, what, $2000 flying the employees on another airline? and very obviously 2) beat the fucking shit out of a guy and settle the inevitable multi-million dollar lawsuit that results…

Falling in line every time JUST MOVES THE FUCKING LINE.

Counter counterpoint: he has made all his legal remedies more valuable and effective by raising the stakes.

It is not overbooking. Over booking means you sold more seats than were available to customers. They wanted to bump paying customers for non paying employees. That is so much worse. If I got bumped for a million miles United passenger, it would suck, but I get it. My flight is not nearly as valuable as keeping that…

This is the same argument for people who argue in favor of management over labor. Theoretically, only a tiny, fraction of a percent of people should be making those arguments, yet, anecdotally, it is an alarmingly large percentage.

This whole “OBEY ANY AND EVERY ORDER YOU ARE GIVEN OR YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS ARE FORFEIT” deal aboard airliners is getting really old.

“I beg to differ.”

It’s so curious that these conspiracy hunters find themselves - the one time there does seem to be a genuine conspiracy going on - on the wrong side of it and refuse to believe it.

The best thing about this collection of derelicts is that the more they voice their completely irrational opinions all over the media and social media, the more stupid and beyond ridiculous they sound. Keep it up, assholes.

Great troll job by the Chicago Tribune here:

It’s interesting and a bit weird whenever a celeb shaves off their famous beard.
