I think there’s more to this story. Why would she resign? If they were to fire her she’d have a heck of a claim against them.

Sure, but you still suck for making this petty article. You’re no better than the typical republican doing similar things. And since you’re being paid for being petty, you should have at least tried to also calculate his height and weight at the time.

It’s simple: if the kid isn’t moving to the principal’s office, you either move them or call someone (usually the cops) to move them. Which would you prefer?

It took a day for results to start showing up, but once they did, they weren’t any different than getting general notices from Glassdoor or Indeed. There’re just as many “potential matches” from them for Lyft as any other job search, which makes me think half of these are sponsored. And while this may tell you you’re…

His article was idiotic, but I felt your response is not being constructive, so much as it is poking fun at his lack of understanding, it’s the difference between being a journalist or a comedian. Plus saying “y’all killed him” is acting as if every white person is evil because a white man killed MLK, which is…

So wait...let me get this straight.

I get it, I just think it’s stupid because what’s the endgame? What is the result that you’re expecting to see from boycotting this company? What does this accomplish?

So let me get this straight. Black woman loved a product until they saw a lighter-skinned woman using it? And now they hate it?

I highly recommend Joe Sheehan’s recent piece at FanGraphs about pace-of-play, where he ties the slowdown of the game to the increase in max-effort pitching (and thus, higher pitch velocities). I’m fine with a pitch clock, but it doesn’t address the underlying reasons for the slowdown.

Eliminate the 4 minutes of commercials between innings?

Whatever the rule change is that will stop umpires from taking four minutes to make a call that the viewers at home made three and a half minutes prior, I’ll vote for that.

Would an English soccer writer and/or reader be expected to know that Barkley is of Nigerian descent (and does he identify as black)? I ask because I certainly would not have guessed it based on the photo, but have no idea whether this is common knowledge there.

So this is awk

hey remember when you wrote this? hahaha you look dumb now, don’t you?

No hard feelings, Anna.

I don't know whether the Rolling Stone article is true or not, but I have learned that you, Anna Merlan, are an insufferable douchebag.

Why does your journalism degree from Columbia mean anything in defense of your argument? It is a 1 yr degree that costs 50 thousand dollars per year. There are plenty of people doing exactly what you do without it. It doesn't make you a better journalist or smarter than anyone else. It just means you went to class for…

Dear Anna:

You would be glad to see that the Washington Post yesterday published an update in which it confirmed that Ms. Erdely did not talk to the accusers. As you have a Masters in Journalism from Columbia University, I am sure you will remember the introductory classes in which you were told to at least try to…

What Anna leaves out is that I already wrote a story that presumed the allegations were true. Last week, I wrote that expulsion would not have been a sufficient punishment for the UVA rapists: http://reason.com/archives/2014/…
