Well done. The thoughtful contrast between your understanding of Velva and her son’s memory of her is such an interesting take.

I always assumed it would be J-Sarg who eventually banished me to the greys at DeadSpin for bringing up his passion for helping hustlers try to extort plutocrats once too often; as it turned out he never got the chance because I got greyed out the day before Gawker officially died for pointing out that sending…

“Last week, New York state assemblyman Bill Nojay fatally shot himself last week in a Rochester cemetery, just feet away from his family’s burial plot”

As the names of bodies or at least some probability of deaths after 9/11 started coming out the “New York Times” did a really moving series (it got its own section, there were so many) of mini-obits called “Portraits of Grief.” I read it obsessively. Given the names of some of the victims and their next of kin, and…

Thanks!

I think the important thing is that we all need to make sacrifices, some of us are willing to go to jail to support the things we believe in, and some of us are willing to go the extra mile to **both** change our yoga class to an earlier time and let everyone know about it.

Christopher Bollyn, a self-styled investigative journalist who was there to deliver a lecture on how the Jews did 9/11.

Longtime lurker here, I created an account just to comment on this. I was a newspaper reporter in suburban Chicago. I wrote about this Chris Bollyn dude back in 1999 0r 2000, maybe a year or two later than that because he invited some guy who’d written a book in which he theorized that the Mossad was behind the…

Hearing his message makes me worried that the Jews are losing control of the media.

“I find my penis is hard to penetrate females.”

demonstrating for the jury with his hand.

Damn, that is a good and resonating comparison.

Dementia pugilistica was pretty well known even 100 years ago, though, although it was hard to distinguish from the effects of the long-term alcoholism that almost always accompanied it.

I’ve never understood why young athletes tend to focus on football over another major sport. The earning potential is higher, and the risk for career-ending injury (or worse) is significantly lower. It’s even more obvious now.

You could change out “football” to “boxing” in there and date it 1985 and this suddenly becomes a lot more scary to those of us used to actually enjoying watching even the worst football games.

Now that I know you were being sarcastic, I can add a star to your count. I’m also very much in the “no thank you” camp when it comes to this baloney.

Fuck that noise. Im kinda sick of tech titans pushing things on us. For awhile it was great, now if feels a little imperialist and perhaps even sinister, too.

I understand why you deleted, but I’m sorry you had to. Mental illness is so stigmatized in the workplace in the US, it’s truly horrible (I’m sure it is elsewhere too, but I can’t speak to that). I have had to keep so much secret because I’m afraid that instead of getting support I’ll have people trying to give me…

Maybe it’s because I’m a dude and I have the privilege but I don’t even blink. Yes, I have depression issues, yes, I have OCD, yes, I have ADHD. I’m still damn good at my job. COME AT ME!
