Did you ever see the doc about Allen called Wild Man’s Blues (I think that’s the name of it). Soon-Yi is in it a lot and I got the feeling she is the one driving that relationship bus. 

And Brett Kavanaugh’s 60 classmates all said he was a stand-up guy! 

Serena doesn’t play against men. Her opponent would have had no advantage over leniency towards men.

McEnroe was ejected from the tournament.

McEnroe did the same thing

McEnroe got many code violations and penalties, including being DQ’d from the French Open when he was winning a match.

She threw a tantrum, she smashed a racket, her coach broke rules he knows exist and admits it, and most importantly, she got beaten by so much that none of it really mattered.

Martina Navratilova’s take is far more thoughtful and measured, with this point at the heart of it:

Okay, and here’s all the times he did penalize them:

The game penalty was bullshit, but it should never have gotten to that point. And the racquet smash was blatant. Every player knows if they smash a racquet there is very likely to be consequences.

Williams exhibited totally unsportsmanlike behavior. If she were a soccer or rugby or basketball player, she would get sent to the cabin for that behavior, not to come back that day.

If the official wanted to take on Serena, why did he wait until the second set to do it?

She lost the game because the other player was better, not because she was throwing a fit about the ref.

Most refs don’t make this call. But this ref DOES consistently do so. And he has taken on many men in similar circumstances. You can search for his interactions with Djokovic.

this is why institutions matter an why they are a bitch to reform. even in the midst of actions that would cripple any other country that doesnt have strong, independent institutions, this country is still able to function. the executive branch is a literal cancer right now but things could be a hundred times worse…

I think it’s always been this way. It’s easy to believe something horrific about someone that you already despise — indeed, in some cases people can take glee in that. It’s much harder to accept that about someone you admire or — worse — someone you personally love. That’s why I kind of roll my eyes when people here…

I’m lactose intolerant, but I still eat a lot of dairy. You know why?

Yes this is called doing proper statistics.

Hi Grandpa!
These days owning a cell phone isn’t the mark of a rich bussiness exec, nor is living in a house. Tattoos only cost money once, and no one would buy a stereo for the car that could get repoed in the middle of the night because it was leased instead of owned.

I used to love them, the cashmere was so good.  Now if you wear something three times it pills right up.  It seems like right after their IPO the quality went right out the window and the size index got completely weird.
