Woof. I mean the dude’s career already was buried, but this response — never apologizing to the guy he stole from, Streisanding his FIFA review while attacking an actual journalist for “needing clicks” even though he works for a site whose traffic runs laps around his — is like pouring concrete on top. Filip, I know…
Ah, the if they criticize me they’re just after your clicks defense! Honestly this guy just seems absolutely scummy and untrustworthy with his defense. I would have respected his plagiarizing ass a lot more ( more than the none, currently) if he had just 100% admitted to it. That wouldn’t absolve him from guilt or…
I love him telling the catcher to get out of the way as he just kinda casually lobs a few more bats.

Hooray! Best of luck with your continued recovery, Fahey!
Always good to see more Critters out there!

I kept thinking that the story read like a Cohen Brothers film.
You are not entirely wrong.
It’s unreal how he’s completely incapable of recognizing, much less accepting, personal responsibility for anything. It’s all passive voice and third person, like this was a meteor that crashed into his house instead of the culmination of a series of events he did entirely of his own volition. It’s insane.
I used the word “gaylord” in like, 1989 and my mom wasn’t having any of that crap. She genuinely made me feel ashamed of myself for it.
“It was an awful mistake and obviously I don’t know how to explain it,...
Let me fix this for you:
You’re not wrong. I don’t necessarily have a huge problem with police shooting an armed suspect who’s running from them. The problem for me is that it’s always minorities who are getting shot. They get shot for running, walking, sitting still, and minding their own damn business. It doesn’t seem to matter. Yet…
