So cool to see DaBaby in the Jalopnik comments.

I want to push back on Drew claiming Baltimore has nothing to call it’s own, but I thought this while listening to JPEGMAFIA, arguably the most famous rapper claiming Baltimore at the moment. He has claimed Baltimore publicly as his favorite place and the one he calls home, but he’s neither from here nor living here…

I find myself mostly agreeing with your take, I think the Virginia cautiousness is in part borne of the “80 mph speeding is an automatic court date” law, so people are relatively slow with some reason.

Baltimore/DC: Between these two cities are 95, 895 and 495, and never in my life have I seen worse clusterfucks that the weird traffic proclivities of drivers on these roads. At least twice a week during my hour commute, the fastest lane is by far the right, while traffic in the far left lane (somehow everyone has…

Wow I totally convinced myself it was the other way, whoops. Sleepy Thursday at the office for me.

This is bad and all, but as a Celtics fan, it’s truly nightmarish to behold the one-two punch of Jayson Tatum’s dogshit mutton chops and that absolute brick of a long 2 he shot at the beginning of the clip. Really encouraging to see a roster of seemingly half Celtics players struggle so mightily against *glances at…

“He put in a year’s worth of work to come back from the Achilles last year with the Warriors, rehabbing arduously to finally make his playoff debut after having to sit and watch the Pelicans sweep the Blazers in the 2018 playoffs.”

This is a truly awe-inspiring sentence to read out of context. 

A great many, given the remaining propoganda/statues and Communist Party. His actions? Substantially fewer.

Indeed, it could be more prudent to speculate which esports no one has conceived of yet that your Gen Z child will root for in the 2030s. Weird times we live in.

Fully 60% of the world’s population lives in Asia and your list is two figures from Christianity and three Americans. I’ll concede its a funny theoretical question, but come on. Where is my man Genghis Khan? That guy literally controlled land from eastern Europe to China to India. Surely many people know and knew his…

You ever hear the term “boofing”?

Girlfriends sometimes says, “Oh honey no!” to refer to a lady doing something embarrassing. Not even directed at me and I get worked up on behalf of this person I don’t know from the pure, white-hot condescension. Love her.

Can’t believe I forgot chief, wonderful addition to the affection/insult term index. 

My favorite insults of this non-expletive variety are the sort a grandfather might use to refer affectionately to his grandson, like “sport”, “pal” or “champ”. Call someone an asshole and odds are they let it go, but there is something infuriating and delightful about the condescension of being told, “Alright, ease up…

I mean not with NO problem, but the typical Malthusian “population growth will exceed our resource capacity” theory is definitely overblown when accounting for technological advances. For instance, when Malthus made his proclamations, the time and resources required to grow food were considerably higher than we are…

Surreptitious murder and a Chinese business dinner are basically the same thing, so you’ve hit the nail on the head here. I too have sampled both ends of the baijiu spectrum, and even as a man of Chinese descent who would love to see more aspects of Chinese culture find a home in the US, I am dim on the prospect of…

I get where you’re coming from but the statement that this doesn’t affect anyone else isn’t true, at least not in the aggregate. There is real cost in healthcare, especially for those who end up with medical emergencies. Soda is rarely going to be the sole factor, but the research seems to show it is a strong…

I die a little bit inside every time I hear Mark Jackson say, “you know this is a make-or-miss league”. “MAMA! There goes that man” is deeply meh, but stating the rules of the game like it’s a profound observation makes me irrationally angry in a way I can’t describe.
