I like Nick and I wish him well in reacquiring his intellectual property— also big ups for earning the degree at Howard— but he was better off talking about sports or sharing vegetarian recipes. As far as what was “discussed”: (sigh). There are plenty of books whose contents are wholly ruinous in their content. “The…

I get that... But Bernie addresses redlining specificly in the “houseing for all” plan:https://berniesanders.com/issues/housing-all/

You and the people who helped you to put these rankings together have not even bothered to read Bernie’s issues pages that you link. Let’s start with what you say about his policies regarding criminal justice:

I don’t understand why “...that whole Native American blunder might be irrelevant to most black people...” (And, yes, I read your “humorous” explanation that followed).

I mean she did willingly perpetuate a family rumor about native ancestry for career gains, so I’m unsure where the free pass on the “problematic racial past” category comes from. 

I used to think the Cherokee heritage stuff wasn’t a big deal until I started reading articles by Native American activists about it. It’s not disqualifying for me per se but to say her history doesn’t have a “problematic racial past” is totally inaccurate:

I’ll be first to tell you as a Bernie supporter that I’m perfectly fine with a Warren presidency and will vote for her without much reservation BUT regarding that 4th point I highly suggest you read Native American activist Rebecca Nagle’s articles and threads on the “kerfuffle” Warren caused with her ancestry test. I…

The summer wind.

That would be fine if they didn’t then choose Ready Player One which is also YA, but focused on boys and 80s nostalgia.

I remember in like 2006 when there were already stupid “stick to sports” takes in the comment threads (that weren’t an ouroboros of satire and actual business practices around here), someone was bitching about a particular blog and “why it doesn’t belong on a sports site.” One of the wise old leaders of the…

Stick to commenting!

If Deadspin sticks to sports, I’m leaving. I know I have no clout here, but I can get sports news and content anywhere. I come here (first and most often when I’m on the internet) because it’s more than sports. This includes wedding dress codes, pumpkin stealing, Canadian Horton’s poopers, stories about injuries, and…

that is Very Fancy thank you for asking

There is some seriously delusional rationalization going on here. How exactly does she think her apartment is competing with Hotels.com’s two week promotion? She’s not subletting it as an AirBNB. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone with Lisa Frank was familiar with her apartment and it perhaps even inspired the idea to…

That’s kind of like thinking that someone who is bipolar only has two moods. I’m bi, and I am just as attracted to trans men and women as I am to cis men and women. Or androgynous or agender people! People can (obviously) feel free to use the word pan if they like, but setting it up as “we are attracted to trans or…

Now, I know there’s a lot of Bi folks who see the definition as being inclusive of all genders. And... I mean that’s nice... but not everyone sees it that way. Including many bisexuals.

Maybe the problem is with the term “pansexual” which is fucking stupid, and as you pointed out, insulting to anyone who is trans as it implies they aren’t really the gender they say they are.

The conundrum is that a person interested only in one thing (like cars for instance) tends to sound both like a know-it-all and a dullard at the same time. Tom and Ray truly were Renaissance men with a great sense of humor and empathy to boot.

Car Talk was so prevalent that they even showed up on a PBS animated kids show.

Passing on Prairie Home Companion is just a marker of good taste.
