Nick Young will be firing basketballs directly into my face, forever.

This isn’t trolling. He was never the best player on his championship teams. Gasol was brilliant, and Kobe was a ball hogging asshole.

Piketty looked at three centuries of economic data and the only time there was anything like 4% growth was after a massive economic depression and there was a lot of catching up to do (France after WWII; China in the 80s and 90s; USA after WWII).

Same here. I quite like the look of the Cayman coupe.

Heard, and then saw, one of these in the flesh in Berlin yesterday. It was glorious. Such a sadness they don’t bring this magic to the states.

(Edited my original comment because it was rude. Overall sentiment of this is the same, but tone is improved.)

Nice. I remember that Rampage split his own forehead open on the guys front teeth, and was also a little woozy after that slam. Also, I think the weigh in was 205? So probably closer to 220 for the fight. Yikes.

AB de Villiers is a very good name for a Bond villain.

I understand that it’s cool to hate on the Warriors because their fans are herbs (valid reason) and because they win a lot (less valid reason) and because Kevin Durant opted to make a mountain of money while fulfilling his professional goals at his preferred place of employment (which is a bullshit reason to hate on…

Not a big fan of name calling but he did score thirty goddamn points after that, so one star for you (with mild reservations).

Serious question: Did you lift Terry Pratchett’s Death gimmick credited, or uncredited?

Much want! I am glad that at least one other person wants one too. We don’t get weather where I live so I am not interested in faux cladding or additional ride height or body roll or all weather tires. I just want some fun that fits my bike in the back.

The Hot Austrian Guy looks good in that garage-sale sweater like only an extremely fit man can look. He is sexy. Also sounds pretty good. How did he not win?

Equal parts Popov vodka and Gallo jug red wine. We called it “Purple Jesus.”

Apex predators are the best. That thing could murder a dump truck.

That is a very punchable mustache.

... where the laborers are the only people that are not being compensated for the work that they do, while those in charge receive mighty compensation. The only two systems that I’ve known that to be in place is slavery and the prison system. And now I see the NCAA. The overseers of a system that is identical for that.

This is a bummer, because Emma is good and righteous.* I look forward to her triumphant return in a few years when the shambling corpse that is the SI franchise inevitably disintegrates into various pivots to video and similar attempts to draw in the youths.

Also it’s totally fine to not like IPAs. Just don’t go yucking other people’s yum.

Fun Fact: the chemical in poison oak/ivy/sumac also appears in the mango near the seed and the skin. If you are severely allergic to poison oak and you gnaw on the mango seed then it will fuck you up for real.
