I was on Jeopardy once. One of the answers was “this proverbial piece of furniture used to help aspiring actresses land movie roles” or something. I, a 26-year-old man, only knew “casting couch” from porn and was absolutely not going to say that and become an immediate disgrace to my family. That, of course, was the…

I still genuinely don’t know what to make of these allegations. The Twitter thread you posted includes a link to the article written by Amy Alexander, who made abuse allegations against Ellison in 2006 iirc. Her allegations of emotional abuse matches these newer allegations and are easy to believe. I’m not quite sold…

He’s not seeking re-election to congress. He’s currently about to primary for the dem slot to take state attorney general.

Abuse is tricky.

I got frustrated after Kintzler couldn’t get anyone out, so I flipped it off. 20 minutes later I was like “huh, why hasn’t At Bat told me the game’s over yet, maybe something’s up” and flipped back over to see Bote’s AB. I’m glad my girlfriend was still awake because I definitely went nuts.

I flipped over to see Sportcenter and this game was on and Bote was up.  Saw the Cubs were down 3-0 and was about to flip the channel when I saw the bases were loaded.  Glad I stayed to see the fireworks.

“That bat flip, though... respect the game...”—Horrible People

Can you point to one thing that the Obama administration ever announced that was even nearly as laughable as a “Space Force”?

We have this crazy thing called the Air Force, which already does everything the Space Force would do. There is no reason to have a separate branch with the extremely limited amount of activity in space at the moment.

Seen any space conflicts break out lately?

For all the times I’ve listened to that song, I’ve never seen the video.

Personally I think this is more correct:

This is such an astoundingly stupid take.

No one knows how to apologize or admit they are wrong. It’s almost impossible for most people. But we are taught that these things are a sign of weakness. People (like the current US president) are glorified due to their resistance to apologizing or admitting wrongness. So can we blame the guy? Isn’t he just a product…

Really? You seem to have listed all of the needed ingredients in your response to muster some empathy for the little guy who works hard at something he’s passionate about, who despite not having a huge platform is maybe trying to work his way up to the respectable & lucrative career he aspires to, only then to be…

I feel like this is the only situation where “Actually, it’s about ethics in gaming journalism” is the correct, non-douchey thing to say.

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.
