I vote Greg, or at least, they will try to make Greg the fall guy (but he still has some of the documents, remember?)

I don’t know! I like reading Michelle Goldberg and Ross Douthat. I think they write interesting and thoughtful things, on the left and the right. I also enjoy the guest columnists, which make up about half of the opinion section. I also think the podcast, “The Argument,” which feature Goldberg, Douthat and David…

My point wasn’t that Brooks is well reasoned or whatever. My point is that the NYTimes has a stable of folks who write editorials, and occasionally I find what they’re saying pretty insightful. Also, they invite others (academics, politicians, writers) to contribute to the section; others that occupy a variety of…

“...as recently as, say, 15 or 20 years ago, the typical person didn’t read the New York Times regularly...”

There have been times that I’ve agreed with Brooks but ever since his new book (which no way, I’m not going to read that) it’s hard to give him the benefit of the doubt: That he justifies divorcing his wife and marrying a younger woman by writing about a “second mountain,” that once we stop striving for sustenance we…

Is it okay to say that I have no idea what the correct way to view Jay-Z’s relationship with the NFL is or does that make me guilty of something?

I strongly agree that Splinter represents the voice of the fringe left, for better or for worse. 

I think you misunderstand the job of the NYTimes and other mainstream media, which is to report on the news and keep editorializing down to a minimum. Calling Trump a racist changes nothing and nobody’s mind. Trump’s comment is just another ploy to sow division and distract. Sure, let’s condemn but let’s also move on…

It’s just a marketing scam to make people want the shoe

The White Walker threat is not over. That all that’s left is the conquest of the Kingdoms is what the producers want you to believe such that they can surprise you with the real twist: Cercsi will become the new Night King (Queen) at the end. The whole thing is a cycle, stuck on repeat. This is why there is no back…

My experience of Cards Against Humanity is sitting around with a group of millennials (I’m a Gen Xer) laughing, but also thinking to myself, “couldn’t we come up with something more funny and meaningful if we were using our own words? Is this a generational thing where folks raised on the internet think that clicking…

I was genuinely happy for D. Rose and so were his teammates. It’s nice to see something positive happening for the TWolves that doesn’t revolve around Jimmy Butler.

This is mean

I love this existential crisis in basketball! Like, if your team cannot win a championship, then why play? Surely we can find answers to this question!

Everybody just blowing in the media winds...Kanye is a nuts, Drake is immature, and both are now passe. As if their music has changed. March along little ants, march along...

This article is now “old” so I don’t think anyone will hear this, but I’m sorry, ideology is not a choice. It is something that comes about from ones actions and habits over time, actions and habits that are usually pretty dang determined due to where one is born and who you grow up with. What you’re referring to as…

The big picture of her argument is not about claiming any victim status for these intellectuals, but that for the Times, to ignore the views of these folks is to ignore what people are talking about (and therefore, what people actually want to read about, since their business is selling newspapers). Believe it or not,…

Would love to see a montage of all the clips of Melo saying that he and his team are “trying to figure things out,” though I’d get bored of it by the five minute mark

Oh Lord, a Kemba Walker truther. Have you ever watched Hornets games? Where he jacks up three pointers for the last five minutes of every close game, missing most of them? His stats are great because his usage is incredibly high. The bottom line though is that the Hornets continually lose close games because…

Damon Lindelof, the co-creator of Lost, also did the HBO series, The Leftovers. For my money, The Leftovers is a much much tighter version of Lost, and though the premise is quite different, the beautiful love stories and metaphysical inquiries into reality are just as well done. There are three seasons, and each one…
