House, Johnny Boy, Fitzy, and Sully from Dorchester

It’s the opposite of contrarian to shit on Slumdog Millionaire; everybody does it now.

One thing I think people need to understand about the use of algorithms and such that the pro types do: these systems absolutely give them an edge, but it’s a small edge that they can take advantage of because they have bankrolls sufficient to take advantage of them. I think some people are reading things like the…

Very weird to respond to a re-release that significantly addresses the controls by saying “yeah well the controls suck!!” Just want to be the fly in our soup?

Though many prefer the sequel (which is also great), I think this one is the true masterpiece. Just a marvel of storytelling and mood.

Should that read “for 80 regular season home games”?

Too bad Edge of Tomorrow’s ending makes no damn sense at all.

I keep hearing from people who say “we’ve got to get out of the 2 year cycle mentality. People should spend the $600-$800 on a new phone and plan to keep it for four or five years. Phone technology has plateaued sufficiently to make that a good option.”

You’ll note that I said “young political people,” not “young black political people.” The same dynamic affects them all.

The optics simply could not have been worse. We’re talking about an internet billionaire who was, in a very direct and real way, handed control of a city school district, against the will of city parents, because he could afford to donate enough money and because he had the backing of an ambitious politician. It’s no…

Well, let’s be clear, though: Bernie’s no prince when it comes to ed reform, either. He’s better than your average partisan pol but that isn’t saying much. He voted for charter school expansion in 98, for example. The average BLM activist, I’m willing to bet, is about a country mile to the left of Bernie on ed reform.

Forgot the best example: Adrian Fenty in DC.
