All sports would be better if played on ice.

I spend my days writing about Roombas from the 1950s, teen hackers from the 1980s, and movies that American presidents watched while in office.

I’m old enough to remember when Alvin Gentry was a terrible young head coach for the Pistons in the 90s. It’s nice to see he’s matured into a terrible old coach in the past two decades. 

She pretty much personifies class inequality and might be THE flabbily titular example of why sites like The Root need to exist at all.

Can we get Earther put back up on the marquee instead of hidden under Gizmodo? This site does too much good work to be filed away as a sub-blog and not getting attention.

As a Minnesotan, I’m disappointed. Her tweets are simply the equivalent of standing on a soap box and yelling on a street corner. Instantly makes her point(s), (accurate or not) open to criticism. I thought the new wave was going to be better, I’m personally exhausted from childish “tweet wars”.

Appreciate the tips - I am from Upstate NY so the winter and snow doesn't bother me much.  

THIS IS WONDERFUL. 

The average “cosmopolitan” New Yorker’s conception of the U.S. is that there’s New York (greatest City on Earth!), then you cross the bridge and there's New Jersey, then, like, Philadelphia, then... corn? and then you're in L. A.

I love this show, but I’m so fucking sick of solipsistic “Only in New York!11!!!1" shit. Like this: “especially the ones that feel deeply ingrained in New York life. The dungeon doubling as Abbi’s “laundry room” is all too familiar.”

Keep in mind that the Detroit PD is run by a black police chief AND the city’s government and population are mostly black.

I feel this way a lot of the time and I’m currently serving. I don’t stand when the stadium PA announcer asks veterans and service members to stand and be recognized. Airlines allow active duty service members to board early; no thanks, my ticket says Goup ZZ thanks. The issue isn’t my service (which I’m very proud…

They all silently try to figure out who invited Staten Island to the party.

Long Island is the suburbs. Somehow Harlem isn’t a borough because you don’t have to cross water to get there from elsewhere in Manhattan.

You wouldn’t get it. It’s a New York thing. Like pretending edible $1 slices of pizza are a thing that…

I think people need to actually read the Politico article linked prior to commenting.

Not a gift .... Where you got your info ?? We pay taxes in Puerto Rico including FEMA. Let’s talk about how the so “charitable” and Good USA Have treated my island for over 120 years of colonialism starting with TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, human medical experimentation; bombings, military draft; tax heaven for…

Subway is disgusting, you can’t own a decent car and even if you did there’s nowhere to park it, housing is outrageously expensive, food is expensive, it’s overcrowded, people are assholes, it’s dirty and smells like urine. What IS the upside of NYC?

Yup. You’re not telling me that a union representative (VP or whatever) isn’t bound by company work rules are you? Being a card carrying member of the Teamsters, I can tell you that’s not the way it works. 

So....Rolls Royce made a Malibu Maxx. Got it.

I wish Samantha Bee was at least half as funny as she thinks she is.

To be fair I wouldn’t waste my delicious ranch on that garbage New Yorkers call pizza.
