This, so much. I want to buy into the “I can’t wait ‘til the Trump voters realize he sold them a bill of goods” mindset, but I can’t. Do we really think Republican voters are going to blame Republican politicians? For ANYTHING? Not a fucking chance.

The greatest trick conservatives ever pulled was convincing liberals to be as anti-intellectual as they are. Thus this article from a man who, according to his Goodreads bio (since he’s a novelist), works for the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, manages the Benedum Center for the Performing Arts, and “pretend[s] to be an…

Is it possible that he’s crying from pain? Maybe it’s sad, but my first thought when I heard about it was that, because it’s so unacceptable for these athletes to show psychological weakness, it couldn’t possibly be anything else. (Didn’t know about Pseudobulbar effect until this article.)

That’s always been my favorite verse. It’s a shame most people leave it out in covers.

Thanks for your civil reply. We might disagree about this, but we’re on the same team, you know?

Man, every time I apply for a job I discount my chances by clicking the ‘white’ box and writing an essay re: my contributions to diversity—it works against my immediate interests yet I SUPPORT such diversity measures.

A vote for a candidate is a vote for everything that candidate wants to do. It’s a statement of values: you may not support part of a candidate’s platform, but you don’t care enough to prevent it (by voting for someone else or not at all). That’s the bitch with a two-party system, right? Even if you disagree with…

It’s an interesting question, isn’t it? How much should be defined by what you think vs. what you do? In person, you’re the sweetest, most tolerant grandpa in Ohio, but for whatever reason you’re willing to enable a racist. In that situation, how much credit do you get—or deserve—for thinking enlightened thoughts?

Is that an American flag lying on the ground at 0:16? Are we going to tolerate this disgusting threat to all that is good in the world?

Good catch. Passive voice is so useful when blame-shifting.

*hearty laugh*

Well said.

I see what you’re trying to do here, but don’t you think that (ahem) soupçon is going a little too far?

ESPN: Hm, I can get 80% of Whitlock’s production for a fraction of his cost.

Is U.S. Soccer part of the federal government? If not, the USWNT’s First Amendment arguments are bullshit, no?

Literally no one out here is rooting against a rookie kicker, or wants to contribute to his struggles.

At least when you say you’re a good parent you only have yourself to blame.

This way Jezebel gets to say, “we were willing to meet half-way, it’s Hillary’s fault the interview never happened.” It’s one of the only strategies left to put the screws on her.

His review actually hit the nail on the head for me. One of the first things I look for in any game is how substantial and coherent the story is, which is an area I think a lot of reviews fall short in. I’m willing to put up with any amount of bullshit gameplay mechanics and iffy graphics for a story that delivers the…

This is speaking as a ballplayer for 10+ years ... I never understood how it was cathartic to take out the second baseman/shortstop on a grounder after you got hit by a pitch. If you really can’t cope with your emotions like an adult and just have to hit somebody, at least go after the guy who drilled you, not the…
