One time, I forgot about a presentation I had in fourth grade. I didn’t research or read anything. Totally forgot about it for weeks. I did my best to wing it, but I only fooled the other idiot kids in the room, not my teacher. Every time Trump speaks, I hear that presentation.

It’s as if the work of Arne Duncan (clearly your friends don’t work in education policy or higher education, he was very active and visible in both) wasn’t about HIM and about things like increasing FAFSA completion or working with the FLOTUS on projects like Reach Higher and Better Make Room to increase college

I love that Charles Barkley is deathly afraid of Oakley after Oak slapped the shit out of Chuck at a Player’s Union meeting.

Let us all remember that Simmons’ Book of Basketball would have done enough to justify its existence solely by providing the footnote in which an NBA source offers the following explanation of why Oakley was so specifically feared [probably a slight paraphrase]:

I wouldn’t fuck with Oak at his funeral.

“and he’s only a sophomore so I don’t care”

A cab driver almost hit me on my bike two years ago when I had to swerve to avoid a pedestrian who stepped into the bike lane on Bleecker. He also honked his horn. The press never reported anything about it.

McCourty said he believed attending the event is a personal choice and “I can’t imagine a way I go there.”

The fact that law enforcement is already defying the legislative and judicial branches and saying (incorrectly) that they only take orders from the president is fucking terrifying. Every jackass trying to downplay this as no big deal is horribly ignorant of history.

This was always OBL’s stated intentions. He was never going to win a physical war. He didn’t have the armament or the people. He knew that. So he set out to completely disrupt our way of life and have us make choices based on fear rather than intelligence.

I look forward to the new ESPN documentary series 0 for 30.

I think Rex is too much of an intellectual to have a place in a Trump White House.

You really think a Duke man would ever support a strike?

My son has a shirt that says, “I Went Outside Once, The Graphics Weren’t Very Good”. Yes, I am aware that it makes me look like a bad parent, but I still think it is funny. And yes, I do make him go outside and visit the sunshine on a fairly regular basis.

Now playing

Pretty sure that’s MXC you’re thinking of.

Now all I want is for Steve Smith to come out of retirement and kick everyone’s ass at dodgeball.

I’m not saying he should win ROY  but comparing his rookie campaign to Embiid’s rookie year is a little unfair. You can’t tell me that Embiid getting to be around professionals for 2 years and have 24/7 acces to state of the art facilities, work out equipment, trainers, coaches, and a proper diet isn’t a huge leg up

Look, asshole, I told you before we went to the party I was going to get shitfaced drunk, make a pass at the hostess in front of her husband, corner one of the black people so I could tell that killer Freddie Gray joke, drop a c-bomb on the first woman to reject my sloppy, hands advances (also the hostess - two birds
