I’m curious if an LA DA will take this up. Smith just committed incontrovertible misdemeanor battery on international TV. Whether one thinks it was justified, and regardless of what Rock thinks about it, letting him go without at least an arrest (and inevitable plea to a reduced charge) would wreak of different legal…

Any list of nominations is finite once it’s created and published—the number of anything on the list is irrelevant (and you’re cherry picking one category that has had some variation in the last few years that still has nothing to do with my point: which of those 8 or 10 or 6 or whatever does one think should be…

Yeah, the police didn’t “arrive at the scene”—they were the scene. It’s obvious even from the video that they were being chased and the crash was the result of their attempt to deal with traffic blocking their way. This wasn’t a time lapse—the police are :10 behind them.

How dare you disrespect Green Book that way!

Whenever someone uses the concept of a “snub” from a finite list (be it for an award, an all-star selection, whatever), I think it’s incumbent on them to say who the snubbed should replace. The Oscars are often ridiculous and I’m wiling to believe these suggestions are worthy but I haven’t seen all them nor all of the…

My neighbor and I are dealing with a rat(s) who goes between our cars (my 4Runner and his RR in carports, no garage). Having hit wires in both ($500 a pop). Last night, we saw him on camera jump into the bay of my neighbors car (not climb up the wheels like I assumed) and stay in there. I convinced my neighbor to…

but it looks at least like my hand can rest on it and move it using the weight of my palm resting on it to move it around

Ahem,

Oh, FFS. Taking issue with an inaccurate statement made by the author is not minimizing her as a person or her plight. Have a good one.

Accolades, yes but I don’t know any credible source that would place her in the top 10 let alone at the top. It doesn’t really matter to her predicament and this story which makes it’s an odd opinion to include. I’m open to a counter argument but she’s not in the conversation with Taurasi, nor probably Catchings,…

Griner is arguably the best player...in the WNBA’s 25-year history.

Where did I say anything about most talented musician? The only qualitative arguments I’ve made in this entire thread are that Donda sucks and a lot of the work of established artists that the Grammys recognize are not necessarily deserving.

This is a deeply fucked up story how exactly? It’s not the same as making up a professional certification or credential or even less consequential resume or degree lies in a formal job application process. As others have said, maybe there were journalistic ethic issues with her other work but I don’t get the reaction…

He’s about the last person I’m going to take up for but anyone with that level of success influences those who come after, for better or worse, by definition. I am not a fan but he’s one of the biggest selling artists of all time (based on however they translate current to the pre-streaming era) and a pop music…

when it comes to his primary genre hip hop he is considered by nearly everyone to be one of the absolute best of all time

despite the fact that his album Donda, and its various tracks, are nominated in four categories, including Best Album

It’s so crazy to me that even in the days when Gawker presumably had actual dev support (remember when they where building out Kinja as standalone platform they wanted to monetize? LULZ), and they instituted the grays to deal with the gnarly community content problems, they never released a block user feature, which…

That bread looks all wrong. I read the note saying it’s toasted, which is doesn’t much look like on the outside, but shouldn’t it be grilled to really be considered a “melt” like a patty melt?

a teacher should not tell a child that because of their race, skin color or ethnicity, that they should feel guilty, that it is their fault

Another request to be ungrayed here just in case...
