Lordy, I get it, Serena is a generational talent, she’s the mother of dragons, whatever... She’s also 36 and the days of dispatching her opponents with ease are probably behind her. That’s sports for ya!

I think these responses hit on a certain aspect that feels difficult. I wouldn’t find it surprising if there was a general double standard when it came to judging and I think there is an importance in discussing it. However, at the same time, Ramos and his actions have became the representation of this bias with very…

The umpire was a dick, but he’s a pretty consistent dick (to the great men’s players as well), and Serena came back to yell at him about the same issue 3 separate times before calling out the tournament umpire and WTA ref. What was she hoping to gain? If a basketball or football player went off on a ref because of an…

I have no doubt that, had Brown been there, he would have stood beside Munn.

As soon as I saw that, I braced myself for stupid.

“I’m sorry you’re feeling so isolated, my dear,”

This story is ubiquitous. The names change, the conferences change, but the story appears pretty much every day now.

Real prison reform would ideally encompass integrated education, therapy, and employment programs aimed at helping the offender reintegrate into civilian life upon release.

“Wherever you happen to fall on Serena’s behavior Saturday night, I’m sure you agree with me that this is the umpire’s fault.”

Can we please stop with the Serena worship? She’s a titan of tennis, a superb athlete, but she’s not without flaws, without her faults. She’s petulant, and this isn’t the first or worst instance of abusing an official in her career.

I have no problem with Musk smoking a joint on his own time, and his choice to smoke pot or not smoke pot is irrelevant to his role as CEO.

Nothing. Because 99% of the people in the Air Force does not give a rats ass that Elon Musk is smoking weed and already assumed he was doped up on cocaine anyways. They will probably just ask him about it and he will say “I did not inhale” and they will reply “Good enough for me!” and close the case.

Bush was on the left side of the Republican party.

As someone who has taken care of family with dementia and another neurodegenerative disease, I think not being able to drink and eat can actually be a blessing, as it’s a relatively painless way to die. We do a lot of medical intervention to keep people with terminal illnesses alive, and for what?

How high should his nose ring be?

Or maybe don’t change it at all because it’s working great as is?

“Our campaign raised almost $200,000,” she noted in Twitter shortly after polls closed. “And truth be told, I did not put nearly the amount of work into this that I should have.”

No five-set tennis match is as tedious as a 9-inning ballgame. I say that as a former baseball fanatic. Get off my lawn.

I love a great five set match. LOVE IT. So I guess I am a weenie.
Can we compromise and have both men and women play three sets in rounds 1-4, then five sets starting at the quarterfinals?

This is the kind of statement that usually means a SUV is in the works.
