The only thing more overdone is simulating upcoming sporting events on an 80s or 90s era video game.

I know it’s asking a lot, but if you actually read the full quote in context, it’s pretty clear that he was being sympathetic, albeit with poorly chosen words. I have as much animus towards him as I can muster and we have plenty of legit nonsense to focus on.

HRC is a center-right candidate?

List of continents where cricket is not widely played: North America, South America, Africa, Continental Europe. A lot of people play cricket, a lot of countries don’t.

What “second rate North American league,” did Pulisic play in?

I’m 44 and have been using the Internet actively for more than 20 years. I give you this information so you’ll believe me when I tell you that there was a time when this kind of post with this voice was fresh and funny. I swear it.

Why celebrate a great man’s death when you could just as easily celebrate his life. Macabre is right.

In what universe were either of those goals lucky?

I am not shocked, not shocked I tell you... to see that Hamilton Nolan has written an article ostensibly about finance that shows only a minimal understanding of financial things.

Has the distinction between “racist” and “racially insensitive” completely disappeared? To me, this isn’t the former, but definitely is the latter.

These women are real athletes

Is posting crying/dust/onions comments about stuff like this post-ironic or are you all just shamelessly maudlin. If any of you teared up from this and it was not due to an association with the death of someone you actually knew or someone who contributed to the betterment of mankind, you need help.

Behind the Mask on Hulu was pretty damn funny in the, “it’s real so the funny is the sad kind,” way.

You can not stop the maudlin internet. Anything beyond a few moments of self-reflection on news like this is indeed maudlin and a bit bizarre.

How do you know that she didn’t explicitly tell him it was OK?

I don’t think “pretentious” means what you think it means.

Your voice is always so fresh. You’re one of a kind — a true treasure.

Playing for the Dortmund reserves would be the first step towards Freddy Adu-ness. I can’t think of a credible reason why sitting a Dortmund is bett than playing at Stoke. And if he continues to develop, he’ll be on a top half of the table club after 2 seasons, with Stoke selling him for twice they paid.
