EFF’s win, our loss. Wish you all the best, I’ve really enjoyed your writing here! Thank you.

“[A] stable four-quark particle . . . fell out of the math.” Things fell out of my math all the time during high school. I realize now that if I’d just had the sense to call the things that fell out “demiquarks” or something, my grades would have likely been higher.

Given the moment we are in (and I don’t say that to dismiss the importance of the moment we are in), I reserve some healthy initial skepticism about public claims of famous men committing sexual assault. However, this has got to be the least surprising story of the year. Winston long ago wore out his “presumption of…

I’m seconding all of your opinions on this article. Its worth it just to hear Jones call Bob Kraft a pussy. But fucking hell; talk about a story with no heroes. Goodell is absolutely an incompetent, autocratic dick, who elevates self-preservation above performance and still manages to shoot himself in the foot EVERY.…

When I was in college in the mid-80s, I had a great Shakespeare class, taught by a future U.S. Poet Laureate. It changed me from the typical, late-20th century “I don’t get Shakespeare” moron into someone inspired to read and see this amazing body of work.

To whom do we complain and how? Not showing up or viewing MLS? That’s a big ask of fans who want to watch soccer and given the league’s cock-up with the Columbus Crew there’s no indication the suits won’t just attribute a downturn in attendance/viewership to the failure of current fans to fully appreciate the gift…

I think you’re asking a little much of Fox Sports to not take the easy route and hire Arena as an announcer: their organizational decision-making has everything to do with dollars and nothing to do with content. They broadcast NASCAR, for fuck’s sake.

I’m thinking this story becomes clearer when we find out what kind of car Preston crashed. If it was the 2004 Toyota Camry he bought used in high school with money he made cutting lawns, this becomes a non-story. If its a 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, well that’s a much different “financial picture specific to the…

That acne and bar rage aren’t warning signs of steroid abuse. No sir.

“Nathan ‘Skip’ Peterman is joining the First Mercantile Building and Loan as a junior loan officer, the bank announced Monday. The bank, which has been in the Peterman family for over a century, took pains to explain that the hiring was not a case of nepotism, “Skip would have been hired regardless of his father’s…

It so amazing to me that Christopher Tolkien hated the LOTR movies. I read The Hobbit as a kid, but didn’t read the LOTR trilogy until just before seeing the movies (I was literally inspired to read them by an early viewing of the trailer for The Fellowship of the Ring). I’m a bit of a book nerd, but this is one of…

This is Utah, so it will never happen, but the school board should just say, “Fuck you, Mr. Fraughton. The new mascot is “the Dolores”.”

That guy looks exactly like me playing soccer. Against my daughter’s U8 team.

Donald Trump now has exactly two accomplishments over his first 9+ months in office: (1) Neil Gorsuch’s appointment to USSC and (2) ending our long national nightmare over the fate of Liangelo Ball.

Yes, its such an needless example of laziness on the part of the producers. “Gosh, I hear that some of the new smartphones are incorporating facial recognition into their designs. What if our futuristic technology took it one tiny step further and was able to translate facial expressions into text or even have a…

About 10 years ago, aged, misogynistic, racist, homophobic, bigoted religious-fuck Pat Robertson claimed he leg pressed 2,000 lbs (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/did-pat-robertson-leg-press-2000-lbs/). Turns out, he did not.

Well, the teams are lining up perfectly: on the one side is Donald Trump, the Ball family, and entitlement run amok and on the other side is the last bastion of ethical responsibility, the People’s Republic of China. Yes, this should play out nicely.

I hate the “he never won a championship” argument against a player’s HOF candidacy, particularly in baseball. Although it will never happen, a player can be perfect in baseball: he can hit a home run in every at bat and field his position flawlessly (and with range). But because baseball is a two part game…

Thanks for this, James. I’m one who bailed after the first hour of the premiere, forced myself to watch the second hour, then permanently bailed. Your season recap reinforced my instinct to never watch again.

Here’s the deal, my brothers in the entertainment industry: there is a moment going on right now whether you like it or not, so think ahead a little so you don’t come off as anymore of a self-absorbed, stupid asshole than you probably are. The questions, fair or not, are coming. Be prepared to respond in a way that…
