I had to look it up since you didn’t provide a source, but the Y axis makes sense once you realize it’s millions of metric tons. I think what it’s not telling us is that China is so high because it’s a landing point for the recycling of other countries.

Yeah, I had the same beef with Vice that I did The Big Short, and that’s namely that the movie thinks it’s way smarter than it actually was. I generally LIKED both of those movies—The Big Short moreso than Vice—but dude, c’mon. You’re not a genius for winking at the camera and going “That Dick Cheney, huh folks?”

God how I’ve loathed McKay’s transition into Serious Filmmaking...and I pretty much know when it happened.

Say what you want about the fun of playing the sport and winning...but a Duke national championship is never going to win “the adulation of the nation.” 

This translation is gorgeous, by the way.

I know Ashley* is very concerned about Lena Dunham’s acquisitions of dogs despite her very bad history of taking care of dogs but I think this is getting just as bad. STOP GIVING JOHNNY CUETO HORSES.

If the Broncos can build an o-line to protect Flacco, he’ll be throwing 50+ yard dragon passes all season.

If he gets rattled, he’ll be throwing balls at people’s feet like the last five years.

Time to change my avatar photo, I guess.

Just what I always wanted a barrel aged stout in 90 degree weather with 70% relative humidity.

What we don’t know: where Zion’s going, what Boston might offer or has promised already, how serious AD is about the Clippers, etc.

The organization wasn’t worthy of Anthony Davis; definitionally, it is not worthy of receiving a trade package equal to his value. Take what you can get in exchange for the guy you alienated, scrubs!

I don’t want to see Boston win another title either, but the fact remains that if they are crazy enough to top LA’s offer for one season of a pissed off Anthony Davis, then tough shit for Anthony Davis and the Lakers. Why the hell should the Pelicans do anything differently? What, is AD going to destroy the chemistry…

It sucks, but it seems to me that Davis kinda forced the Pelicans’ hand here. His agent should have been able to predict that shelving him and tanking would basically be the team’s only logical remaining play once he wiped out their negotiating leverage and list of suitors by going public with his trade demand and refu…

The League has agreed to drop the fine to $40,000 if Davis records an anti-tampering PSA. 

This on the heels of the self-tampering investigation announcement. It’d be hilarious if the NBA stepped in a denied a New Orleans/Lakers trade again.

“I’m not a baseball fan and don’t follow the sport”

Deep down, I really think there’s only one guy who could possibly manage the personalities of LeBron, Rondo, JaValle, Lance Stephenson, Beasus Christ, The Busses, Magic, LA Bros, the Ball family, and Jack Nicholson.

I actually really hate this. The idea that we need to be constantly optimizing our time can be really problematic in my experience. But that could just be my anxiety-disorder riddled brain.

Kingsbury, meanwhile, will reportedly not have to sit out the 2019 season before coaching the Cardinals.

Ah yes, the perfect sweet spot - fans who love their team so much they’ll watch games on tape delay, but not so much that they’ll manage to watch them live. Timeslots like “9 am Saturday” can be so busy!

I know Jake Delhomme didn’t play for the Cardinals, but spiritually, I really feel like we should add him to this list.
