Yang isn’t really single issue ... dude has a huge number of policy proposals on his website. UBI is his big thrust, but, the man has lots of ideas

So is getting up in someone’s face and banging a drum

Well, yes, you obviously are. Saying that people should be compelled to provide their DNA because they happened to work where something bad happened isn’t being on a slippery slope, that’s where you’ve already jumped off the cliff of liberalism and fallen into authoritarianism. The right against unreasonable search…

Bauer hurt the finger before the ALCS not the World Series. The drone finger bleeding game was against Toronto and didn’t really impact their bullpen usage in the Series 

I don’t think Bauer was referring to the girl with “bullying and slander”, he was just making a generalization. Bauer has one of the most active twitter accounts for any professional athlete as far as engaging with fans, and he engages with them positive and negative all the time. 

Governments abusing their authority is not “speculative fiction”, it’s a fact for every government that has ever existed. I’m guessing you’re an authoritarian though. If you live in a police state, yes, you’ll have very little crime that isn’t state-sanctioned. But you won’t have personal liberty. Obviously the police…

“Whether they keep it or not, it’s still got to match crime evidence to do them any harm.”

She was not only 16.

I feel like this is a classic example of asking to have it both ways. The fact that “regular people” can interact with celebrities is held up as a positive aspect of twitter. Bauer interacts with a lot of randoms on his twitter, both positive and negative, and it seems a bit ridiculous to get mad about him zinging…

“Until the playoffs roll around” ... Don’t think that’s very accurate. Bauer was coming off a broken leg and had barely pitched before the playoffs this year, when he was used out of the bullpen ... he sucked, but probably would’ve been a different story if he wasn’t coming off the injury and was starting. The…

Um, because it’s free?

I’ve lived in the PA and have lived in CA and OR, great pizza in CA and OR is average pizza at best back east

Clemens is 13th in career ERA- and 7th in FIP-, so pretty hard to argue he was the BEST pitcher ever. He accumulated WAR because his career was prolonged because he took PEDs. The guy was in decline in 1995 and then magically put up a 10 WAR season when he was 35. For rate stats, among his peers Pedro was pretty clearl…

Not seeing how it’s unreasonable for the article and/or MLB to call out the union for not seeking to discipline the agents. It’s said all the time that the players want to clean up the game, so if the union is backing the players, why look the other way on agents who’re helping dirty it up? What is Deadspin…

It’s not being pedantic though. “Decimate” hasn’t been used to strictly mean “remove a 10% of” in ... 100s of years? So if you’re not just making a dumb joke and actually think it’s wrong to use “decimate” as it’s used in the article then you don’t understand language and how words are created and change.

You act like 100% of the world is made of rational, clear-thinking humans

“What exactly is it you want?” How about, speaking with the person who made the claims, or the person the claims were about? If Howard denies it, then investigate the person who made the claims, speak with people who know them to see if other corroborate the claim, or at minimum can speak about whether any of it makes…

That’s a ball with significant hang time off the outfield wall, that’s pretty rarely not a double if the batter was running hard out of the box, which they should be doing on a well-struck ball over the outfielders’ heads. It was over 8 seconds before the ball got to the 2b, where he would’ve had to put a tag on a…

Apparently George Lucas was smart not to hire many black actors for Star Wars. If Vader had choked some black dudes with his magic powers then some “critics” would’ve written idiotic articles about the optics of lynching black people. Christ. This article is the worst.

When was taking a nap ever miserable?
