I agree with each of your points. I watched the whole match. Serena was getting her ass kicked, and trying everything she could to rattle Osaka. She couldn’t do it. Then Serena lost it. She screamed at the ump, what, three different times?

THIS. Serena has also had a history of...questionable... conduct when she’s been losing.
That sort of frustration isn’t unusual for top-level athletes, and yeah...there’s something of a pattern there. When she was penalized for threatening a line official, she was a couple points away from being upset by Kim Clijsters. Her 2011 blow-up came while she was losing to Sam Stosur. She’s a fantastic player, but…
Serena stans are turning into psychopaths who froth at the mouth at every slight against her. Imagine being do deranged that you have to be told not to boo Naomi Osaka of all people. Serena’s the GOAT but I’m so done with her ridiculous fans.
Can we please stop with the Serena worship? She’s a titan of tennis, a superb athlete, but she’s not without flaws, without her faults. She’s petulant, and this isn’t the first or worst instance of abusing an official in her career.
Not out of line. Serena’s coach admitted to Pam Shriver that he was trying to coach Serena. Everyone, including Serena, knows how penalties are given out. Maybe it’s her coach’s fault for trying to signal to her, but she was responsible for her own behavior after that.
The highlight reel should only show the cursing done after the player has been assessed one or two violations. What’s rare, even for emotional, aggressive, half-mental men and women in tennis is for those players to continue to push the umpire when they know they’re going to lose a point or game.
First warning to Serena for coaching. Her own coach admitted to Pam Shriver after the match that he had indeed tried to coach her. The gesture was meant for her to approach the net more often. He thought she hadn’t noticed it, but still, it’s the attempt that matters. Players have been using this excuse (“I didn’t…
This article is terrible.
“It never hits the anti-humor heights of the TV show, which had one episode that was entirely dedicated to learning about how renting property works”
I assume their first date involved them going to get ice cream, with Aubrey Plaza silently staring at him while seductively licking her cold treat the entire time, and Michael Cera getting increasingly sweaty while rambling on about nothing in particular, until he finally gets so flustered that he dropped his entire…
Ditching the sub-plot about Hooper and Brody’s wife was another good call. As was turning the shark hunt into one long increasingly tense boat trip instead of the multiple day trips from the novel. However the biggest improvement was swapping the part where the shark just succumbes to it’s wounds into ‘smile you…
Dent and Joker’s confrontation was to finally give Dent the spark to become full on vengeful maniac
Batman tackled Dent because he was about to kill Gordon’s kid
I don’t think people should EXPLOIT people by posting photos of them in public places but you have no expectation of privacy in public. Not every picture of a person in public is harmful. Street photographers like Mark Cohen or Wee Gee make an art out of it.
I came here to post the same thing, and I am a far Left Wing Democratic Socialist ACLU cardholder. If someone is behaving really badly in public - committing a crime, being disgusting, bringing five dogs into an NYC subway, whatever, and you are not recording them for a news story, blog post or video for public…
I practice street photography, and the difference is that street photography aims to produce art, expressing the human condition in a way that is respectful and never denigrating to its subjects. However permission ruins any sort of authenticity in the moment.
You work for a shit blog that exposed peoples private lives. Fuck off
If I asked permission of every single person I photographed for my street photography..... I’d completely lose the authenticity of “the moment”.
People don’t tacitly sign a waiver agreeing to have their image, goings-on, and physical location splashed all over the internet just because they dared to leave the house.
