I went to a Live show in high school, like ... the band Live, who are decidedly not punk rock or even particularly hard rock. But this was at the height of the grunge-era mosh craze, where drunk frat bros would turn the front of the stage at any show into a fucking pit of bodies slamming together the very instant the

Jesus. I don’t feel like this would be much more comprehensible with the original audio ...

I think this is a false analogy. Racism is both a systemic and endemic problem in this country - it needs talking about because it is an ongoing problem that affects countless people every single day. Serena yelling at an official and wrecking Osaka’s moment was a one-off occurrence for which Williams eventually

Definitely not accusing you of believing the narrative that Serena’s terrible and Naomi’s a princess (or similar) ... just feels like if we’re really trying to move past that incident—and I’d like to, as I think would you—it might be best to just not bring it up. I don’t doubt that others are doing so, of course, but

I feel like you could’ve helped progress the process of not tying everything Osaka does back to that moment by not using the entire final paragraph of this article to tie Osaka’s actions in this unrelated match that didn’t even feature Williams back to that moment.

The trailer for The Two Towers features fucking Gandalf coming back - arguably the most significant moment of the entire trilogy other than maybe Frodo’s choice at Mt. Doom. Movie studios love to spoil them some big reveals in their trailers.

I googled David Morse, went “Oh yeah ... well ... all right.” and closed the tab.

I’m weirdly torn because I’m a strong advocate for age limits on presidential elections while also acknowledging that the best available candidate by a fairly wide margin this year (imo), Warren, wouldn’t be eligible to run.

I guess I come off as a beer snob (or at least one of those people who seems to like talking about beer more than drinking it), but I was just honestly confused. I thought he was talking about how strong the alcohol was, not the flavor.

Ah, gotcha. Uh ... carry on then!

Headlines like this are the reason I’ve been returning to this site for nearly fourteen years.

Good for them, I suppose? Doesn’t really change anything I said. When WeWork’s IPO tanks, a lot of people are going to be left holding the bag, but it won’t be anybody at the top.

And I’m not here to force you! But I am here to be like, “well, bummer, I think more people should boycott it.”

This is the second time you’ve responded to one of my non-NBA comments with this. If it’s a joke, it’s going over my head, sorry.

We have so completely broken capitalism that now there’s no longer even a thin veneer over the fact that it’s a system designed to benefit the rich at the expense of the poor. The people at the top of WeWork will make (or have made) bank. The average employee will be left with useless, probably-underwater stock

I’m more than happy to see more small-stakes plots. I even think Rogue One’s plot is good—though mildly pointless since we already know it succeeds—and I did like the movie, just not as much as a lot of people, because I didn’t find the characters compelling and don’t feel most of them have even basic arcs, let alone

Your moral obligation stops wherever you feel it should stop. The question for me was, “do I want to continue supporting a sport that is inherently dangerous to those who play it AND which has done its absolute level best at every single possible turn to avoid any responsibility for that fact and, to make matters
