“Natural weight” is not a thing. Combat sports organize by weight, not height. They always have. Natural weight is a bullshit excuse for Jones’s dominance.

I love Kemba Walker with my whole heart.

Yeah, I came here to say the same thing.

I used a friend’s for awhile and was disappointed that the Chromebook struggled with... Chrome. I had a lot of tabs open but you’d think that would be a minimal requirement. Until and unless Google finally starts to actually value performance and efficiency in the browser that’s the basis of the OS, I can’t really get…

The real worry is that he comes back but not at 100%, plays gingerly, hurts the team but you still feel compelled to start him, etc.

I tried to play it for PC but I found the spell crafting system totally baffling.

Spelunky is just too hard for me. I’m bad at video games and it’s too hard for me to be able to get into it.

Here is a relevant research study that suggests that, far from acting as a gateway drug, medicinal marijuana may function as a substitute for more dangerous drugs:

Thanks for this piece. Excellent work.

Oh good, people have already found something to get entitled and angry about.

So, just for the record, it’s not funny to attack Hartford, an immensely poor, majority minority city that has been absolutely decimated by white flight, serial neglect, and the collapse of the industrial base. But thanks, guys. You’re the real progressive heroes of sports media.

No, I don’t agree with getting rid of the presumption of innocence. That’s not what I mean. I mean that we can simultaneously pursue more justice for the victims of rape and domestic violence while continuing to reform our criminal justice system.

We’re in a strange moment for progressive people.

But we’re also trying to…
