I am very conflicted on this argument, and I’m sure I didn’t state it very eloquently, and yes this argument sounds transitive to poor communities everywhere and I don’t like that about it. I’m just tired of all of these pieces I’ve seen today telling people who moved to cities, who understand a great deal about…

this quote could also be “I have not adequately prepared myself to be competitive in the contemporary job market!” At what point do we have to point the finger back at these people? So much writing about these small towns and how the “elites” need to understand their position. Things are changing in this country and…

Pence is so fucking stoked though. He fell ass-backwards into being Dick Cheney, but without a lesbian daughter he has to pretend not to despise.

the “giant douche vs turd sandwich” mentality that this show has created contributed directly to the results of this election. I’m sure Matt and Trey despise Trump, but they have to realize that many of his supporters love their show, and interpret the message to suit their own beliefs.  

Let’s remember some Cubs

Gawker.

I definitely do not claim to watch every Cleveland Indians game, but I was under the impression that they had done away with Chief Wahoo. I hadn’t noticed him in any official presence in a couple of years, and thought that the team had fully transitioned to the red “C” caps. Imagine my surprise to see the classic…

you know how Canucks fans riot whenever they win/lose/appear in an important game? If the Cubs win the World Series, it will be like that times the force of a thousand suns. Wrigleyville was an insane asylum when the Blackhawks won a championship, who were out of town and play their games six miles away. It is not…

Ashley,

My theory is that there has been a conscious effort by NBC to highlight and focus on white athletes and sports that white athletes are dominating. In the 80s & 90s, track and field was the marquee event, with athletes like Michael Johnson, Jackie Joyner, and Flo-Jo being some of the biggest stars of the era. Now, so…

The problem is the men’s short market. You essentially have 3 choices: calf-length basketball shorts, knee-length cargo shorts, and thigh-length golf shorts (for lack of a better term). Apparently the last category, the kind seen on prep-school rapists and vineyard vines bros, are the only fashionably acceptable short…

New York hot dogs are bad. Yes, I am from Chicago, and yes, I am biased, but it’s a fact. I will concede the following:

I think Las Vegas Dice would be pretty great. I like the atypical name that doesn’t end in an “s”, and you got the word “ice” right there! Plus, what announcer wouldn’t love saying “tonight’s match-up between the Ducks and the Dice...”

when you excited to see Tarzan/afraid of refugees but you keep fighting in the backseat/vote for brexit and your mom turns the car around/currency hits a 30 year low:

this shit is straight up a year old. I’ve been telling people I’m chillin’ in Cedar Rapids since before baes were woke.

As a Bears fan, I read these comments knowing that the Bears did not deserve mention. In no way did they deserve to be in the playoffs that year, let alone the Super Bowl, let alone winning it. “Super Bowl Champion Rex Grossman” is not an alternate reality I want to acknowledge. Yeah, I’d be happy for Urlacher, but…

I am heavily invested in the sociopolitical ramifications of whether or not Drake has a beard.

I was not trying to imply that women don’t want to hear about breaking news, or that this is somehow “above” Jezebel. Just curious that it wasn’t on Gawker instead. I use the Kinja dashboard and follow multiple sources (including Jezebel and Gawker), but I get that if you’re only looking at Jezebel you would want this…

I thought there was this massive realignment a few months ago where Gawker was going to get more political and Jezebel would focus on female-focused & pop culture stories. There just doesn’t seem to be much rhyme or reason in regards to what sites certain stories end up on.
