I think they proved that point on No Cities to Love. This... this is just... my god. It’s SO bad. It’s new territory all right. It’s the first SK album that flat-out sucks. But that’s about it. The “new sound” just sounds like a dozen other records released in the last few years, and it’s not as good as any of them.

So she escaped trainwreck for a car accident...

I’d say when a core member quits the band right before they’re supposed to start a huge tour... maybe the new producer had a little too much influence.

This might be the most laughable “A” ever given here...

I was watching this live and looked down at my phone at a text for literally two seconds after seeing the pitch, but didn’t want to see the call because it was at eye-level, and when i looked back up the at-bat was over and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what happened. I think that ump just wanted to go home.

Out all the moronic nicknames Donald Trump assigns, she decides “Moscow Mitch”--which is literally the only thing that seems to have truly rattled turtleface--is the nickname she has a problem with?

What he really meant in context was that rape and incest are ok as long as they were perpetrated by white people. So there can be more white people.

She should just fly the flag of the San Juan Senators or Ponce Lions or any PR beisbol team... Or better yet, fly ALL of them.

OK, Sam Grasso’s take is terrible, because mayor pete is not saying “dish soup and dish DETERGENT are the same thing.” He’s saying dish soap and regular soap. He’s MOSTLY wrong, in that i would never wash dishes with hand soap. HOWEVER, pretty sure everyone has washed their hands with dish soap when the soap dispenser…

The rich parents thing was kind of annoying, but i still treasure every scene with Edward Hermann and Kelly Bishop.

Is there some kind of targeted campaign against female singers going on? Mitski was just accused of sex trafficking, which I cannot really believe.

Like, forget his taxes. Just make every debate feature just ONE basic civics question that the candidates don’t know ahead of time. I would totally be in favor of a “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader” style debate.

As a Phillies fan i was almost disappointed he never won the Cy Young. Now that that seems to be a huge part of keeping him out of the Hall, i’m glad those awful Phillies teams couldn’t get him more wins, when every writer still thought wins amounted to Cy Young awards.

I kinda would like to see Schilling get elected to the House, realize he doesn’t actually want to do that shit and be shunned by every House member or better yet put on some committees, totally embarrass himself, and crawl back into his bankrupt hole after two years...

True enough! Though I am afraid that he’s been told “Sir, that’s not how you make a law” so many different times, that he might’ve just learned it by accident.

I hate that Hannity is taking Cuomo’s side. It’s such a transparent case of using the one time someone who leans left gets accosted in public, as an excuse to not confront politicians who put kids in cages. It’s whataboutism to the grossest degree.

Um... so it’s cool to call an angry italian a “spicy meatball”?

During the debates in 2016, i just WISHED every time that SOMEONE would just ask Trump “how does a bill become a law?” Not that it probably would’ve matter in retrospect, but would’ve been satisfying in the moment. 

So... You (rightfully) blast Portnoy for commenting like this, but in the linked article about the Ringer union formation, it says Simmons “has yet to respond to our request for comment.” Wouldn’t any comment be in danger of engaging in unfair labor practices?

How does it work when an editorial staff unionizes? Which side would, say, Fennessy be on? Is he management, or is everyone who is not an owner union-eligible?
