For example, when presented with a column by Woody Allen’s son talking about his father’s sex crimes, the press protected Allen by running the article on the front page and promoting it on social media.

1. Touring has always been essential - very few musicians ever actually saw a lot of money from album sale; those that did still toured and merchandised a great deal because they got more money from that.

I say you have him lead off, to up the pitch count right away. You don’t have him batting cleanup because he’ll never get more than one run in, and if your sluggers have already batted he won’t be of much use. Plus, leading off with him guarantees the first batter is a walk, which I imagine messes with the pitcher’s…

Once you put down roots in a city and win a few titles, the city is yours.

It’s time for a new sports commentary trend: cold takes! Uncontroversial statements about things that happened in sports’ distant past. I’ll start:

Rogaine (and friends) don’t work very well. Get over the fact that you’re not 25 [or 20, or 15... :( ] and cut your hair short. Ta-da! no one cares anymore.

The thing with Magneto, the thing that makes him work, is that he isn’t really a villain. He’s an antagonist, yes, but from the beginning he was portrayed as someone who wants the same things as Xavier but simply pursues it by different means.

I mean, it’s not impossible, but consider the facts:

They’re continuing to deny that the president or anyone not already indicted or dead knew anything about it until the story blew up.

Well, no. They’re pro- only one thing, and that is Penn State. But they’ve decided that this means being anti-sexual-assault-survivor, which, if not actually pro-child-molester, is at least pro-child-molester-enabler. And I’m not exactly a life-long PSU hater, either: I thought the Freeh Report was a sloppy hatchet…

I think it’s the perfect solution to the Div I playoff question. Instead of everybody playing 4 shitty opponents, 6 mediocre ones, and maybe 2 actually good teams, just have all the good teams play each other exclusively.

Given what we now know about Jimmy Savile - everyone at the BBC, at the NHS, and in the British music industry knew and did nothing until he died - and the Catholic Church - which was something of an open secret for years before the scandal broke - I find it entirely credible that nearly Division I head coach and…

This is a shitty take on a shitty idea for a website.

What’s the point of this article? That because someone from a country not known for distance runners is having international success, she must be doping? Or is it that anyone having international success in sports must be doping?

Or, everyone in a position to give him that kind of job also knew (or had heard credible-enough rumors).

A real scientist would have made sure to crinkle the Sun Chips bag the same distance away from the sensor because the measured number of dB depends on how close the source is to the measuring device.

The problem is that there are two kinds of safe spaces. One is, “everyone is safe to talk about their thoughts and feelings,” but another is, “everyone is safe from exposure to the hurtful thoughts and feelings of others.”

Exactly this. GLAAD isn’t getting enough press, so they do a thing about Star Wars specifically, and the media, either because they don’t realize their being manipulated or because they do, take the bait.

Let’s have Valbuena put a slander claim in court against this guy’s claim to get his phone replaced, and see who ends up having to pay whom.
