In the end, the combatants sat down and enjoyed a Citywide together, ultimately deciding that Lord Palmerston was indeed the better the Prime Minister.

What a bad idea. The fundamental problem, to use their terms, is that sports IS “empty calories”. In the end, you’re writing about people doing athletic contests.

I think a lot of people believe that The National was a great idea that was 30 years ahead of its time.

Mather and Hansmann believe sports is an undervalued part of that bundle, and that there are tens of thousands of sports fans in each city who don’t care about the other sections, and would rather jettison their subscription and pay for The Athletic instead.

Blacks - Completely ignored and dismissed.

If there’s one thing die hard Chicago sports fans are notorious for hating, it’s empty calories.

He didn’t cause any disgrace to the SEALs. They did a fantastic job outing the guy so definitively. He did a pretty nice job disgracing himself and everyone who backed him up, though. Brava.

I don’t have a dog in the fight...but the Chiefs got FUCKED in that game.

I hadn’t realized the Vegas shooter had purchased his guns at the concert. I thought he stockpiled his arsenal in a gun free-for-all state and then transported them all over the place.

So now we take a step back and see that the population of PA has risen steadily for a number of decades. As has car ownership, commuting distance and miles driven. There are a lot more cars on the road now than there were 50 years ago. We also see that you’re one of the largest producers of fossil fuels, mainly nat…

Hopefully he doesn’t end up like one of the horses from the cancelled HBO show of the same name.

Any guy who would sexually harass women in your workplace isn’t your bro. He’s a sexual predator.

Yes, but several women has had their phone numbers tweeted out by alt righters with zero consequences.

Here’s the thing: the biggest reason their IPO flopped was the toxicity and trolls. If they made it a true open forum with enforced rules and safe environment, they’d actually be in a far better financial place. Just like study after study says companies that embrace diversity do better, diverse audiences make more…

Interesting that a discussion about trying to control the amount of vile sewage that spews out of the stupidest, ugliest people automatically leads you to conclude that it is you that is being silenced. You might want to give some thought about why that is.

When I was a teenager I was a moderator/admin of a forum (hi fellow nerds) and the first thing you learn is that there is a direct relationship between how seriously you take moderation and whether or not the site descends into shitposting.

Twitter, isn’t even worth a billion dollars. It makes no money. What is infuriating about fucking twitter, is that they could have fucking fixed this at the beginning, but white boys love lax rules.
