What is the physical platform for this? Is it just a “regular” comic book, only now under a Netflix imprint? On-line? Streaming? Quantum computing? Sorry, I just read Ryan Mandelbaum’s piece on quantum computers.

I “watched” the end of the Colts/Texans game on my ESPN Gamecast app. It looked like Savage was finally getting it together as the Texans went 73 yards with a nice combo of runs and mid-range passes; they had a first down on the Colts 7 with 30 seconds to go. Then I got called away and I missed the end, seeing that…

Superheroes were created for an immature audience and in a time when our language was not as nuanced as it has become in the 21st century. It made sense that a man with almost infinite power would be called (and allow himself to be called) “Superman” without a trace of irony. By the ‘60s, this was beginning to…

I watched some hilariously horrible quarterbacking today on NFL Red Zone. I’ve also watched almost every one of Kaepernick’s games. Unless he’s gained 50 lbs of fat and developed a serious drinking problem over the past 9 months, there is no way he’s not better than 25% of the QBs starting in the league right now.

When I read the lead-in to this, I just assumed that the receiver had run into all the underneath coverage space that would naturally be available in this situation, then outran the coverage. But, sheeeee-it! This was a screen pass. Woods just ran.

This is what proves that Twitter’s and Facebook’s mewling on Capitol Hill last week about the difficulty in preventing Russia from manipulating their “platforms” to undermine American politics is just complete and utter bullshit. If they can devise algorithms sophisticated enough to determine the alleged sexual…

I’m a dad to three daughters, two in their 20s and one a senior in high school (I also have a son in the middle). Emily’s statement “[b]ecause however surprisingly grown up she looks, she’s his little girl” brought tears to my eyes. Being a parent is a series of failures because its the one thing in any otherwise…

Ahhh; I didn’t know the backstory and didn’t remember some of that. The idea of Billy as Upside-Down-Will in original conception makes a lot of sense.

Kevin, good luck with raising your son. He has an advantage over a lot of 3 year olds because his dad thinks about parenting; even today, most parents (particularly most dads) parent ad hoc.

Thank you, Charles, for publicizing this show; I did not know it existed and will now check it out. But your post was, for completely different reasons, very depressing to me. When you said the show flashes back to 2001, my first thought was, “that’s not a very long flashback”. Then I realized that was 16 years ago…

Fingers crossed the series will finally elevate the heroic vuvuzela players to their rightful place in the Fellowship!

The dropped storyline makes a lot of sense. I’m not so sure I see your “Will is probably gay” hypothesis, however.

I’ve mentioned this previously, but the whole Billy storyline strikes me as too subtle by half. I think the Duffers are trying to convey that Billy is a complete dick because, deep down, he is struggling with his sexual identity. The basketball scene, the subsequent shower scene, his angry overprotectiveness of his…

“Are The Bills Actually Good? They’re Getting There”

Kershaw was pretty great for 3.1 innings of game 5, then pretty horrible for 3 batters, then pretty good again for the remaining 0.2 inning. More importantly, Kershaw was generally great over 175 innings during the 2017 regular season and has been generally great over the almost 2,000 innings of his entire career.

You are exactly correct that false accusations of rape are very rare.But that is not what Glaser is alleging in his complaint against Pierce. Instead, he accuses her of spreading lies about him, the truthfulness of which she can not possibly know with any certainty. A case like this is exactly why libel laws exist.
