Please, it’s “former-Yugoslav-republic-of-Macedonian-American.”

I was in the middle of an archaeology grind, when the Hong Kong thing happened.

It sucks. Mariota seems like such a nice dude, and he’s played through a lot of pain the past couple years in particular, but the Titans have been an absolute clusterfuck, at an organizational level, since we drafted him. He hasn’t even been all that bad. Last year, his numbers were way down, but the advanced stats…

He already played for them when they did that tribute in 2016 so he knew what the team thought about this issue.

It would actually be more respectable if he just admitted that China has Apple over a barrel with their thuggery, so they have to comply. Apple needs their Chinese manufacturing and supply chain, it can’t be easily replaced. People know this.

I think part of the problem is that the commentariat formed something of an echo chamber; we’re always here, so we sort’ve figured (collectively) that there were enough of us to prop this publication up.

Evidently, we were wrong.  And that sucks.

This is such bullshit. This was one of the main outlets I read, because I can read the same shit elsewhere, but it’s less funny, and the comments literally everywhere else on the internet are completely and utter trash.

Off-off topic: Does any have a problem commenting on any of Gizmodo sites? I click on pending and it disappears, I try to see other comments and nothing happens. I commented on one post but it posted to another article. 

Is it more likely that the cops killed this guy or that a drug deal went bad?

Lots of lies here, though to be fair you telegraphed them pretty obviously.

Yeah, the Israeli PR machine is incredible, and I say this as a strong critic of Israeli policies. The “they oppose Israel’s right to exist” line is a good example. There’s no such right! It doesn’t exist in international law. But prominent figures who should absolutely know better parrot that line uncritically. The…

Megan Day (of Jacobin) has been a veritable inferno of scorchingly bad takes, for example. Her attempt to smear Warren for having the effrontery to refer to herself as a “teacher” was pretty epic. And terrible painful to watch.

Karlan argued that by firing men for being in a sexual relationship with a man, but not firing women for the same is discrimination based on sex. It’s not changing the definition of sex as understood in the sixties, but it is challenging how that form of discrimination is experienced.

You’re not very good with time scales and history, are you?

Gotta love the R&M fans complaining about their show not delivering enough episodes per year, with fans of the Venture Bros. like me giving them the massive side-eye.

And because of this we should let Turkey attack the Kurds, the same people that bore the brunt of the fight against ISIS?

You can’t be the “beacon of the free world” and not defend freedom. This ‘world cop’ show is an integral part of so-called “American exceptionalism.” International respect has to be based on real action, and the US has been short on both of those quantities/qualities of late.
