And Jordan Sargent is still employed despite all of that kerfuffle! What a curious world we live in.

These guys always wrote excellent reviews that would be followed by a letter grade that did not seem to correlate at all with what I had just read. From the bottom of my heart, I will miss them deeply.
You can just substitute “Johnny Manziel” for “Elagabalus” and it works. Example from Wikipedia:
A Browns quarterback has the job security of a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
A pro-gun think tank president told Fox News that off-duty officers were allowed to bring their guns into stadiums “‘from the time the NFL started until about a year-and-a-half ago,’” which is basically true, and that there were never any problems. But the same logic is also an argument against allowing off-duty…
Do Elder Scrolls and Fallout necessarily have to exist on the same planet? Based on Elder Scrolls lore, we know it’s possible to travel between different dimensions (or “planes of Oblivion”). Who’s to say that Fallout’s Earth is not merely a forgotten plane of Oblivion? Hey, a nuclear reaction looks a lot like an…
Is it really worth it to have Romo playing? I don’t mean is it worth it to have him playing late in a blowout game, I mean is it worth it for him to play this season at all? Yeah, the NFC East is horrid, and the Cowboys were only two games from first place going into this game. But in order to even make the playoffs…
You forgot veterans!
Is anyone going to mention that FSU’s president turned down an offer to appear on a televised panel discussing campus rape following the broadcast of the film and compared it to the Rolling Stone article? It’s not just a Jameis Winston problem — the whole university from top to bottom is absolutely in denial.
The “Unitd States”? The word “united” can’t even stay united, let alone the states.
You can literally look up any video of Brett Favre throwing a touchdown and see a self-centered, attention-grabbing dance at least equally offensive to what Cam Newton did. But Cam is a scary black person, and the only reason he’s having a good time is probably because he’s planning to rob me or shoot me or something…
Hold on, Charlie Hedbo is not some saint just because they were the victims of an attack. They routinely mock and degrade Muslims, who are an historically abused minority in France. And they stand by their actions because legally they can do it, without any regard for if they should, or tastefulness or how their…
Responding to the acts by swiftly and definitively condemning the obviously non-chalant culture of racism that threatens the safety and livelihood of the university’s colored students and faculty rather than ignoring them like they’re beneath him probably would have been reasonable enough had he done so. Just a hunch.
Similar situation here, but I only use Twitter to get info on politics and world news. But honestly, the news app on Windows 10 has totally killed Twitter for me. I barely use it now. Twitter can be a very good interests site that works for everyone if it chooses to be so but it doesn’t.
The dumbest fucking thing is that it’s not even like it’s an issue that’s been totally ignored. Bernie Sanders is against Citizens United, so is Hillary Clinton and even Donald Fucking Trump. If you want a candidate that wants to overturn Citizens United you do not have to vote for Larry Lessig.
I like how they are no longer even pretending that “redskins” isn’t offensive and are now going down the “everyone else does it!” route. Good luck with that!
Look, I don’t know if I’m being a sensitive liberal gasbag here, but wasn’t it a wee bit in poor taste to publish the joke article about beating up teenagers the day after a teenager was brutally assaulted in a classroom on camera? Maybe I’m over thinking this.
Those slimy corporatist scumballs at BIG SPORTS EVENT always need to have their damn logo plastered over everything.
They may include muskets or swords, gladiators or samurai, but those are usually simple window-dressing to an action game. They rarely explore the themes of the time, the politics, the things that drove men (and women) to do what they did and which helped shape the world we live in today.
I’m not defending the battle flag here, but it is like any other symbol in that we attach our own meanings to it. I mean, every national flag that the United States had prior to 1865 was one that represented a country that condoned slavery, including the original “Betsy Ross” flag where the 13 stars are all in a…
