The lowest point of his life was in January 2008.

Or as ESPN puts it on their front page: “Source: Union to cry collusion if WRs don’t sign”.

Yeah, in no way are they in bed with the NFL. Nope.

Haha, it's really no big deal.

This is dumb. It isn’t okay to be privately racist, so long as one conducts oneself with public decorum (a prospect I find implausible, anyway). The very idea that it’s okay, but we should strive for better as a society is incongruent. If it’s okay, why should we strive for better? It seems like you are trying to…

Your point about being racist but also doing your job may have been Lee’s original intention with GSAW, but, that’s why her editor said to change it and she made TKAM instead. The reason is this: that kind of thinking is far more of a fairy tale than what transpired in TKAM. The Klan doesn’t believe in that fairness.…

The reader is the character’s creator. All the author created was text on a piece of paper.

it’s less narcissism and more a completely valid and reasonable way of interpreting literature

George Lucas? Is that really you?

Man, you increased the possibility that I think you’re a racist by at least 100000%.

This sums up my own feelings on the matter practically verbatim (though with cleaner prose). Nice read.

ETA: Holy shit, I had no idea until after I posted this that it was you, Burneko. Hats off to you.

I completely disagree. Not because of your points about racism (which I also disagree with), but because Atticus Finch is not a real person, but the person you assemble in your brain when you read some letters on paper. Harper Lee is not shedding light on some reality of Atticus Finch, because there is no reality of…

Thank you. This is precisely how I feel about GSAW. Everything about its release is fishy and I don’t want to participate in it. The manuscript has been around for a very long time. If Harper Lee had wanted it published, she would have done it by now.

“I really can’t.” Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Don’t be a Debbie downer. Let’s just enjoy this for at least a day.

The police report mentions that, as the attack was taking place, Kromer repeatedly yelled, “This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps.”

Really? I thought it was buying the coffee shop and running it into the ground.

“We’re not going to go on Deadspin. We do not think Deadspin is any kind of responsible reporter”.

Oh yes, that’s why I said at least 28%. That’s just the numbers we have on white people who are garbage enough to admit to being garbage to other people.

This tweet pretty much sums up Kanter:

The brutality of dumping Harden to avoid the tax then paying Kanter to assuage your fans would be delicious. Buyer’s remorse on Kanter should set in by Thanksgiving.
