WHY DID HE TAKE OUT ARRIETA?!?

Allergic to debating.

And that’s when I hit “close tab” — on football. I’m done. The only question is what took me so long.

Also, fuck Etruscan pottery shards.

You’ve described exactly why the Frick is my favorite museum in New York. Amazing collection with legit Art History 101 masterpieces in a nice small space that doesn’t make you feel like you need a 2-hour nap after seeing 10% of it.

I had to read it like eight times before my mind finally replaced “to-” with “too —” and I could make sense of his (ludicrous) observation.

“It’s tough because we’re both alphas,” says Beal, who has missed an average of 20 games per season in his career and whom ESPN’s proprietary Real Plus-Minus rated as the 60th best shooting guard in the NBA last season, about how he doesn’t get along with the better and more experienced two-time All-Star who now makes…

WHOA WHOA WHOA — Helping students brainstorm ideas and pointing out issues of grammar/syntax is one thing, but if Jia was the one doing the writing to any significant extent (as implied by the term “ghostwriter”), her behavior was profoundly unethical! She may as well have taken their SATs for them, though that would…

Ah, well, word legitimacy is a whole other topic, and QI’s acceptance into the pantheon totally changed the game.

If you’re not placing the Q on a double word/letter at minimum, you’re not doing it right. Big letters go on bonus squares, and bonus squares are for big letters. (Also, SMH at people who squander S’s, which are there for connecting words, stretching to triples, and forming bingos.)

LeBron: incredible player, lousy backseat GM.
