A full bottle with a cap remains a full bottle after it’s thrown at someone, whereas a full bottle without a cap becomes a largely empty bottle mid-air after it’s thrown at someone.

You’re not wrong. There’s a town called Rotherham which has become infamous for its recent sexual assault cases (it has its own wikipedia article!), so people are certainly aware that abuse is an ongoing thing. However, the methods of grooming kids have changed radically thanks to the Internet and smartphones, so the…

We can condemn Hitler without marveling at how he rebuilt the German highway system & we can call Castro what he was a ruthless murdering dictator; without bringing up that time he encouraged his people to read. If you have a problem with the VERY FAIR & nuanced approach LeBatard presented his piece; I don’t know what…

I get the impulse behind this post, because I don’t think any group has done a worse job representing the interests of actual Cubans in Cuba than the older generation of Cuban refugees, so I don’t want to react angrily but this trend of Castro apologia is just sad and wrong. The older Cubans preoccupation with the…

“healthy and educated population”. have you been to Cuba? people are not healthy and educated. cubans swim to miami DUMB AS HELL, not knowing basic math or basic SPANISH. their vocabulary is fucked, their understanding of the world and history is fucked. you guys are delusional in thinking that castro provided…

Serious question: Have you ever been to Cuba?

I’m thinking about it—what if we were able to present the opinion of someone affected by Castro without commentary, while also holding the belief that Saudi Arabia’s rights record and Guantanamo are bad? That’d be wild. If only it were possible...

The problem is with what the GOP and Trump are saying their top priority is once in power.... Peoples displeasure needs to be made loud and clear for even their thick heads to hear it.

Treating Sherman like an animal seems like a harsh punishment for treating her husband like a real football player.

I’m immediately reminded of one of my favorite games of all time: Aliens versus Predator 2 (2001 pc game). There were lots of Aliens/Predators/Versus games, but that was the best as it really nailed the different mechanics of playing as the different species, plus the plot and ambiance of the different zones was…

Yep, that’s what change requires. Making excuses for why we shouldn’t pay attention to THIS PARTICULAR example of how the NCAA is a sham, and wait for the perfect story to come along before doing anything.

Simmons claimed he was offered jewelry, cash, luxury cars, and a house during his two semesters at LSU; he declined all the offers and his sister kept a copy of all his receipts to be sure he avoided the possibility of being hit with NCAA sanctions. Simmons is now rehabbing from a bone fracture in his foot; it’s…

Kris Jenner knows... allegedly...

Officer: I clocked you at 80 mph.

Self-selective information is a problem, for sure, but what does that have to do with the fact that police kill unarmed black men in the streets at a far higher rate than any other demographic group and face literally no consequences for it?

I’m far more concerned with other things in the world right now than the choice of one individual kneeling during a song.

Yeah I miss the good old days, when police could kill people and it wasn’t recorded, so we had only their impeccable word to know for sure what happened. Now there’s so much garbage online, some people no longer take the police at their word!

The problem that we have is that police officers are going out and shooting people who are not a danger and then not facing justice for it.

The problem is truly with the media and not the fact that so many people won’t get to go home to their families because they were murdered by police.

At the same time, and through the same channels, and at the same alarming level, it’s far easier today to see and hear all the things you DON’T want to see nor hear.
