All Songs Considered is a good one to catch up on if you like music but find it daunting to seek out new stuff on your own.

I didn’t read the full original comments, but I’m sure for appearance’s sake there was some perfunctory disclaimer about being students first and academic performance and other nonsense.

Are you kidding? It’s a firm commitment with the very minor and narrow exceptions of poor academic performance, injury, not being good, annoying a coach, or improperly prioritizing academics over football.

Everything about the NFL makes sense if you think of it as a suburban cul-de-sac of 32 McMansions, each of which has a team owner as its nosy occupant. Someone on the block paints their house yellow and everyone else LOSES THEIR SHIT. Deliverymen never get tipped.

The other side of that is that trigger warnings are not a tool for avoiding exposure to things but being prepared for them. If some course material has a trigger warning, you’re not exempt from learning it, but you have a heads up as to what it contains. That’s the theory, and in that sense, they’re pretty useful. I…

US = Ohio

Ohio is an Open Carry state.

And why having more random people carrying guns will not make everyone safer, no matter what the NRA says.

Nice try, bucko, but those listed are concussions from foul balls, not from blocking balls. Those are bad for brains, but are totally unrelated to this story and it remains far from “obvious” that this little rule change will lead to more head injuries. We’re all still waiting on an example!

HAHAHAHAHA Baseball is the most meticulously documented sport on the planet, but you can’t produce a single instance of a catcher head injury from blocking a pitch, yet we’re supposed to believe that this rule change will “obviously” increase the rate of these phantom head injuries. Classic internet: make a wild,…

Actually, Anthony Quinn and Omar Sharif are good examples of actors that producers felt comfortable casting for any ethnicity because they didn’t want to deal with working with a third person of color in their entire lives.

To be fair, Etsy has been a lot more relevant to a lot more people for its shorter run than the Espys, which, even as a sports fan, I can forget about for years at a time.

Sure, this is dumb, but I can’t wait to see what dumb new things happen when FIFA dumbly expands to 48 (0r 64 or 96 or 128) teams for the World Cup.

In theory, yes, but have you met people? They’re not always reasonable.

This is news to me too. Every time I’ve played a racket sport, people hit it at me and it was hard to return and I assumed that was part of the game. I didn’t know that I was being brutally and unfairly attacked.

I was disappointed to learn that the song you mentioned justifying the Iraq War was actually a different one than what I was thinking of and that there were two (and likely more) mainstream country songs playing this stupid game.

Unless you’re in an open carry state (and white, obviously).

Agreed. Opting out of most Big Tech is not too tough and is mostly good for you, but Google is nearly impossible to completely dissociate yourself from. Pair that with the fact that their products are free and better than most alternatives and generally make your life better, they’re the only one that I actually feel…

It’s called concern trolling and it’s the worst.

If a Democrat running for president just copied Reagan speeches and positions word for word, they’d be branded a communist and socialist and anti-American.
