if the Falcons don’t start calling their o-line the Sweathogs after welcoming back Koetter I will, like their fans, be disappointed

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. 

He’ll be needing that straw now.

I got an 04 mustang for 5k and have done nothing but oil changes and tires for the last 4 years, 110,000 miles.

Aside from a foray into a new MINI back in ‘05 this has been my MO all along. Not only are you making the payment on the new car you’re paying way up for the insurance and tags.

This is exactly what I did in college. Got a car I could pay outright on, it was over 12 years old, but it was great. When it was ready to die I sold it for basically what I paid, then had enough to buy my next tier car. Saved up again to buy my dream car. Never have taken a loan because I never saw it as necessary to…

Want to really pay down debt?

Anybody else exclaim “Ja’loja!” when they peed last night before bed? Just me? OK then.

You mean like Kirk’s reading glasses?

The most interesting aspect of the match so far has been the complete ineffectiveness of both players, especially Carlsen, with the white pieces. Fabi finally broke through with real winning chances in the 8th, but the black pieces have mostly been in control all match. I wonder if Magnus’s strategy is to grind out…

These articles have been great and I actually started watching the WCs and playing chess again because I read them. Thanks, Ben. Looking forward to your final recap.

I honestly wonder what has changed with The A.V. Club and other entertainment news sites (io9, Cracked). The abundance of “woke” (fake or not) articles certainly seems calculated to drive clicks. They fan the flames of our divisive culture war, and generate engagement whether readers strongly agree or disagree. To the…

This whole race to see who can be the “wokest of them all” seems to just have turned into a race to see who can be most literal-minded.

I understand why people are getting tired of “social” critiques of popular culture and art. It’s all the same recycled takes and magic phrases everyone learned on tumblr, second hand,…

seriously....like what’s going on??? what happened to this site??? it’s so ridiculously ‘fake woke’ now, I wouldn’t be surprised if by next week they’ve changed their domain to buzzfeed dot com

That was ridiculous. We’re getting too woke for our own good. Pretty soon the idea of anyone succeeding at anything will be offensive.

I guess you missed that ruling? That was almost two years ago

You debated it with the five other writers of this article? I guess you’d call that ...
