“and his only real success came on screen passes.”

So by “the end of the game,” we mean “questions tossed at him after the end of the game.”

For that matter, the whole half-the-distance makes no sense. At the 11, 10 yards are marked off for a hold. At the 9, 4.5.

The standards and copy style editor for the NY Times in his former weekly column spelled it “lead.”

Maybe it’s supposed to be Everytine as in stick a fork in it.

“on accident” is more like low American or African American colloquial. Or a writer just getting his preposition wrong. “Do you want to come with?” is more of a regionalism; it is very common in Minnesota.

Or a semi-literate American.

“The debate over safe spaces, too, has become cartoonized, a shorthand way to complain about privileged millennials,”

One thing you will learn from experts on PTSD is that it is far rarer even in battle-battered vets than the general perception—certainly rarer than affected by self-diagnosing college students who speak of “trauma” when the see the word Trump written in chalk on the sidewalk. And many people with real PTSD actually…

How is a Republican club any more of a safe space than any of a number of clubs that have existed long before safe spaces? Sorry—safe spaces are the province of the left.

And they should be applauded for it. What DePaul did was craven. It was done out of fear of uncomfortable protests on campus and of possibly driving away applicants.

You forgot, “And if you don’t want to read it and be responsible for knowing the material, no problem!”

In effect yes. When you shout or whistle down a speaker, you are preventing them from speaking.

Oh come on. Demands for trigger warnings have gone way beyond protecting people from being forced to “relive their traumas” to sheltering them from anything they disagree with. The definition of trauma has been broadened to include discomfort, and if you can’t handle intellectual discomfort, you shouldn’t be on a…

“But the idea of students breaking off and forming “safe” spaces based on, say, shared identities as minorities, is fine.”

Yeah, calling it The Cell, which arose from the original corporate sponsor, is really sticking it to the suits.

I am so sick of smug people on Gawker sites who always seem just a little too pleased to point out when the First Amendment “doesn’t apply” or who cite the tired wheeze of “freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.” And here these comments rose up from a vacuum. I’m not even seeing some wave of First…

That was hardly her point in her sore-loser rant.

Plus, nothing is ever stopping you from “boarding later,” no matter where you sit. And yeah, people needing overheads generally want to board earlier.
