Honestly, a lot of the former Gawker sites took on that dismissive, biting tone after the Hogan trial fucked them.

And that’s fine. It’s not their reaction to the movie itself that matters. I think their criticisms of the movie are perfectly valid, especially as they are viewing it through a lens of 35 years of narrative development. It would be impossible for someone today, having experienced a goodly portion of what has been…

I think this is another example of a basic theme running through io9 for a while now — that its staff members are openly contemptuous of the very topic they are nominally covering, and the very audience they are nominally serving.

Lebron took two games from the Warriors a few years ago with Delly and Thompson, and not much more. Somehow I think he will find a way to make it work.

That title card art is by one of the greatest comic artists ever - Ron Embleton (You should check out some of his other work sometime). In many ways the end credits were the show I wanted to see. Embleton also painted the initial run of Captain Scarlet comics in TV Century 21. That made a stab in the right direction.

Pffffff. One of these things is welcome in my garage any time. I don’t care if they call it the Thundercougarfalconbird Deluxe Megacrazy Special Hybrid Fantastic 4s Turbo American.

If my husband was too dumb to find his way out of a locker room, I’d keep it to myself.

I say or write some version of this every year, but, each season the championship goes to a team that got lucky: Their own players’ Achilles’ tendons didn’t explode and/or some other team’s players’ Achilles’ tendons exploded and/or the seeding protected them from a tough matchup that would have worn them down before…

I’ve never understood why so many sports writers flat out hate Melo. His biggest crime is having the audacity to not be as good as LeBron or Wade. There are people who legitimately think he’s not a Hall of Famer, which is an aggressively bad take. The hatred he gets is just weird.

OKC knows you can’t have a team offensive usage rate above 100%, right?

Yes, poor Trump is hated for no reason.

Donald Trump is so vile he’s got ME, a Cleveland Cavaliers fan, rooting for the goddamn Warriors.

Hey, Trumpelthinskin, does the word contract strike a familiar note?

You asked a question, rhetorically, about yourself, then immediately answered it with “I don’t remember”, then actually answered it. And that wasn’t even the worst crime against critical thinking. An article about how the President of the United States using his position of power to advocate for terminating the…

Yeah, @DevinKurant.

Disagree. If all this social media stuff was around in Jordan’s heyday, we’d have grilled him because he’d be doing all kinds of hyper-thin-skinned bullshit.

Do not see it. It appears to be a very positive image, not focusing on boobs, butt, or waist measurements. So, now necks must be measured.

lol what? Are you trying to say you can tell if someone is talking about themself in the 3rd person in order to mask his/her identity by what nicknames they use?

Booo! Go back to the postapocalyptic postaling! :D
