Not defensible from a moral (or PR/talent relations standpoint), but from a legal standpoint what likely matters is the language of the contract, not an after-the-fact email.  If the contract isn’t specific about the form of release, it may not matter much if she was told something afterwards that turned out not to be…

This is a nice longform article in the vein of Jason’s Schreier’s reporting of behind-the-scenes game development. Glad to see this article type again. Great job!

Rogan is a buffoon but I’m not sure his periodic interviewing of a section of far right twerps is even close to as normalizing or destructive as CNN, MSNBC, Fox News et al. constantly covering Trump and his cohort, even if critically. And, to his credit (gag), Rogan does bring on a hugely diverse cross section of…

I agree that drug laws and stigma need to change, but if he’s equating his few days taking heroin the non-injection route and kicking it as not problematic to a long-term IV user’s experience, I’d say he’s never worked as an addiction counselor to too many long-term IV users. Granted, I’m working only off of this…

Slavery is still legal, see: for profit prison.

The entire incident could have been avoided, CBS 2 points out. Police could have vetted the informant’s tip and confirmed the suspect’s whereabouts by tracking the electronic monitoring device he was wearing.

His real counterpart is not Frannie but Larry, who is just as insecure but uhh good-looking and popular and talented. So it’s a bit harder to see, but Larry is another guy who cannot believe people would choose to be with him, that he can offer anything besides eventual heartbreak and anger, and that tears him up for…

Oh yeah. Harold is a warning to a certain kind of kid, one that was very good for me to come across.

Pedigree, first off. Made by a company that earned quite a bit of goodwill by releasing a very good single-player game at a time when the industry was saying single-player western RPG’s were not the future. It introduced an open world mature RPG that didn’t rely on MMO style sidequests and collection goals. It could…

While you don’t need to FEEL the hype, it’s absurd to make a claim that you don’t get it. Let’s look at a few of the things.

Well, nobody’s saying it would hold up under legal scrutiny. But with WWE’s resources, that would be an uphill battle for any talent who tried to fight it in court.

Sacha is an amazing person who uses weird performance art to reveal people’s deeply held, hidden or not so hidden bigotry. I don’t get the dislike for him, he seems like a very charming fellow and he’s using his comedy to show how quick people are to show off their hate.

I guess I’m on team “Rudy is a fucking creepy weirdo racist who was a terrible mayor for my city and anything that embarrasses him is a net positive because I hate him.” But you do you.

If you check Mr. Maviglio’s bio at Wikipedia, you’ll see he’s a bit of a hero himself. He has a distinguished history of public service and Democratic Party activism. Undoubtedly he could have earned far more in the private sector than the pittance of a government salary.  Every American ought to want talented public…

Is it possible to defend Mr. Maviglio here without being banned? All these one-sided comment sections are so dreary. A vibrant commentariat ought to welcome pragmatic moderate commenters who are willing to argue on behalf of Mr Maviglio, who is, after all, squarely within the mainstream of the Democratic Party.

I have a hatred for GHW Bush that will accompany me to my grave (because so many I loved went to their graves or suffered for his policies).

This is very upsetting, the rioting is hurting innocent people-

There are none left in MN now.

I’m not defending Target by any means, and I don’t give a shit that that Target got looted, but it is just a basic-ass Target. It has more security than a suburban Target, but no more than any other Target in a city I’ve been to (one, occasionally two, rent a cops by the entrance). It’s wild seeing all these national…

My friend is working on this, this is so exciting! :D
