My Backpack approves

and it can't find the cash to enhance the integrity of its product?

Should be interesting 'due to the unique way the BBC is funded' because TG was their highest grossing and most popular show.

Tailoring is for Europeans and Communists obviously.

Well I guess you have two basic options. 1) some kind of revenue sharing which can include all sports, basketball team receives x% of the revenue which is divided equally between the players, and then the same for whichever sports you wish to include. This could be a share of NCAA revenue to keep it equal between…

Well this is all completely correct. I guess I just find it interesting that a tool designed for conversation is increasingly being used to simply make statements. I get all the perfectly reasonable reasons why this is the case, but I do think it makes twitter as an idea less interesting.

I guess, I mean people are free to do what they want, I always just assumed that was the draw of twitter, the idea of talking with someone you follow rather than just being talked at, although I suppose that get impractical once you hit a certain number of followers anyway.

Just because he expresses an opinion on Twitter doesn't necessarily mean he wants to discuss it with every stranger who disagrees with him. Nor should he.

The general research on hot streaks is that they don't exist (or at least don't show in the evidence). Some have argued that there is a small effect http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100… but the majority say no http://journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… While it intuitively makes sense and certainly 'feels' real when you…

Pay with cash, say "keep the change" done.

There are pretty obvious reasons why a coach shouldn't be doing that, one of which being he is a grown man not a three year old having a tantrum. Supposing it hits someone? Is that cool too? It seems nothing creates tears quite like refereeing decisions in college basketball.

-its the perfect "hot take" because there's no way it can be disproven.

If only 'pro-style' meant they got paid.

Yeah, I mean just like now we're talking about a vocal minority. Jay Z had sold a lot of records. The Blueprint with its Kanye and Just Blaze production was the album that kinda united the existing fans with the backpack 'real' hip hop guys.

Whether he's in on the joke or not is an interesting but ultimately irrelevant question.

Yeah at a mainstream level I think there have been big lulls, although I wonder how much is about personal taste and about the mainstream being slow to pick up on new styles. It's not that long ago that major labels would not have been interested in a Kendrick or a Tyler The Creator because they were outside of the…

Yeah Kanye producing 'Be' was massive, it was a great album and really turned a lot of people on to Common.

When the guy in the Fedora makes more sense than you, you should realise how wrong you are.

You don't remember Ja Rule?
