That picture at the top is fake. Everyone knows Aldebaran was blown up by the original Death Star.

Man, Trump is right: foreigners are fucking up everything.

While the concept of race may be the foundational error in the creation of our country, racism is not the single biggest problem we face in trying to better society. Its Americans’ refusal to accept the complexity of the human condition that prevents us from moving forward. This controversy shows that (full…

My advice for lawyers and PR people involved in a situation that might be related to the country having “a moment”: don’t reference the moment. Just uncategorically deny the allegations and walk the fuck away. There is no benefit in taking on “the moment”.

Stephen Colbert pointed out that Trump’s public disclosure of meeting yesterday included a meeting the “Prime Minister of Normay”. Colbert speculated this is all part of the WH staff’s efforts to keep Trump from fucking things up: having him meet with imaginary leaders of imaginary countries. So it would make sense…

Jeff, you need to look at NCAA eligibility rules. I think you have 5 years to play 4, and the clock starts once you enroll in a college or JC (not once you’ve played a game). I hate to blow up your dreams, but you’re probably going to require special NCAA approval, which means you probably need to be looking at…

We had a similar situation play out in our local high school: a kid, who had a prior juvenile conviction, was credibly accused of a sexual assault on campus during the school day. The administrators slow-rolled the mandated disclosures and investigations and allowed the boy to remain on campus, claiming they were…

Charles, I think you’ve answered your own concern in your article. If they put the incorporation of the X-Men into competent hands, a writer and/or director who “gets” superhero movies, and it will work out well. Look at past history:

I liked what John Byrne did back in the ‘80s with the stories of Krypton in between the death and rebirth of Superman. That Krypton was a fucked up place and would make a great allegory for the end of the US empire.

LaVar Ball: Those Were the Droids I Was Looking For, I Found Them, And Everything That Happened After That In Those Damn Movies Was Fake.

This is the boxscore line:

But the Marlins play 19 games per season against divisional rivals in markets nos. 1, 4, 7, and 10. Those 19 games can’t be televised because they’re basically Triple-A exhibition games; that’s a 12% reduction in available games. Accepting a 12% loss in value before a contract even begins to run is just bad business.

The value of sports franchises basically always goes up because there is always another rich asshole who thinks owning a sports team makes him look cool and that his success in (fill in the industry) means he will be inherently successful in everything and how hard can running a (fill in a sport) team be, really?

On the one hand, I feel bad for anyone who is denied a chance to achieve a sport’s goal to which they’ve devoted their life, so I feel bad for Ashley Wagner.

Is the consensus that LaMelo was destined for, at best, a mediocre college career but that LiAngelo was considered potentially as good (or better) than Lonzo?

I love these kind of responses to horror. We need more people with Otter’s perspective on the world:

Of all the major team sports, basketball is the most dependent on “fit”: its not the sum of talent as much as it is how the various parts work together.

There was a cartoon in the New Yorker once that showed two scientists talking in front of a blackboard that contained a dense, very complicated looking equation, the last element of which (before the equal sign) was a box in which was written “Then a miracle happens.” The one scientists says to the other, “This part…

I finally saw this the other night. I had been quite excited for it, but left more than a little underwhelmed. There was just way too much backstory that needed exposition for it to make enough sense for me to care about what was happening. They basically grafted an epic, “this item ends the world as we know it” film…

“you have treat conference championship games as the defacto first round.”
