Re: rabbit holes, Gladwell’s palpable uncomfortableness when Simmons brought up Jeffrey Epstein was imho the most brutal chunk of that interview. It was such a strange, rambling two minutes, basically Simmons saying “I read reddit” and then it cuts to an ad read. Would love to know if there is some audio — deleted…

The idea that shit-talking a candidate during a primary harms them in the general was probably never very true, and most assuredly isn’t true at all now. The overwhelming majority of people in this country know who they will vote for next November based solely on the letter by their name. Modern American elections are…

You mock but I’m sure in 20 years some Silicon Valley Douchebag will be taking his kid to their first game, point up at Durant’s retired jersey and say “You see, Little Elon, that jersey belonged to Kevin Durant. An extremely online weirdo who played here for three years in the service of building a brand nobody cares…

Warriors Revolution: What if we play basketball based on absurd 3-point shooting and spacing, creating openings with swift ball movement and requiring defenses to guard shots previously thought impossible? We’ll play with a small, quick lineup, that will outpace slower, larger players, making them either lose on…

I have absolutely no doubt that all the public proclamations of supporting whoever the nominee is in 2020 are just posturing. If Bernie wins the nomination, these people are going to stay home. He’ll have to win on the backs of new voters or else we’re gonna see all the mayor pete stans pull a 2008 hillary loss and…

The problem is made even worse by the fact that the establishment Dems are barely even pretending to protect Omar because she is upsetting their donors as well. 

When you are building settlements, one of the DLC items is a terminal that will tell you where your companions are.  It marks them as an objective, so you can find them.

I suspect the AG will almost immediately proclaim the report a wash and confirm “no collusion”, which Trump will then bray throughout the 2020 election and beyond.

See, this goes right along with what I said on the Splinter post about the DNA test today. MOST people don’t live in right wing conspiracy theory land. But putting it out there gives legitimacy and weight that it didn’t have previously. Who is this even for? The crazy people are going to believe it anyway, and some…

Remember when Katherine Krueger said Avenatti wasn’t helping and everyone shit on her?

I think the impetus of this happening is the league in general is sick and tired of James Harden’s antics. He flails and charges into defenders non-stop (just like the Ingram play). If you watched the game you can see the frustration building up (especially with Ingram and Hart). People and I’m sure fans (at least I…

Chris Mullen? You know Wilt Chamberlain played for the Warriors once upon a time right?

Pretty fucking amused by all the dudebros in the comments who have no fucking idea what anarchism is, and the variety of philosophies within it, and seem to think it’s like, libertarianism but with punk music. Your gotchas on this guy are not nearly as clever as you think they are.

shout out to all the dips in here obsessing about how this dude self-identifies politically and using that to gloss over the substance of his message ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is a fucking devastating decision that will cause untold harm across the entire asylum system; and mark my words, it was done almost exclusively with the purpose of preventing vulnerable Central American families, usually mothers and their children, from arriving at the United States to seek protection.

I want the Warriors to win, but more than that, I want to see elimination game James Harden. I love nothing more than watching him slowly loaf to either end of the floor throwing up bricks that could be airballs, while he stares off glassy eyed and coughs up double digit turnovers.

Sadly, there isn’t.

The right wing liked to call the entire religion of Islam a death cult because of what groups like al Qaeda did to the religion.

this is a good takeaway from this article and not at all a shitty attempt at ignoring the real problems because someone used the wrong word to talk about your toys

We’d all fare better in a world without murderously racist far-right state actors on every street corner, dumbass.
