All true, and airlines are just one of the most extreme and awful examples. The truth is that this kind of concentration has happened in loads of other industries over the last few decades. It’s why your ISP sucks and your mobile provider sucks and your health insurance sucks and...I could go on.

Nooo. No rooting for corporations, period.

Hey, we’ve got perpetual war against a eastern other, omnipresent government surveillance including telescreens that can listen in on you, public manipulation through dissemination of fake news, conspiracy theories, and propaganda, a superstate dictated by a political regime composed of the superwealthy.

At the end of the day, LeBron personally made sure that a dude that cannot (at the professional level) dribble, shoot or pass got an 80 million dollar contract.

At this point, Russian connections are to the GOP what secret Cylons are to Battlestar Galactica...

Yeah, as others suggested, it’s in case the starter gets hurt. In the event of an injury (especially one that happens mid-game), teams want a veteran they can “trust” to at least know the playbook, be able to “read” a defense, make an appropriate audible, etc. They don’t expect the guy to be able to have the arm…

DT: Lemme tell you guys, this is a tremendous truck, I mean just really nice.

Hearing the bit in context, and with his verbal/physical intonations, as I did last night, I kinda think that’s what he was getting at.

America idolizes and puts slave owners on its money...so I am not going to criticize Chappelle for having mixed emotions about someone that once upon a time people taught pretty much was a hero no matter how much of a monster Cosby is now. Even as a black man, I was never a fan of Cosby but I understand why he holds…

This is yet another reminder that having a child does not suddenly make you an expert on literally anything, and that the act of birth is something that literally billions upon billions of people around the world, both very smart and incredibly fucking dumb, have done throughout millenia.

And now Trump can say, somewhat truthfully: “My taxes are out there. And look! There’s nothing there!” While overlooking the fact that the first two pages of his taxes tell very little. If anything I think this whole thing will be counterproductive as a sizable percent of the population will believe that Trumps taxes…

Tried to dissolve a body in it?

Fair hit: He didn’t even try to initiate a slide.

In the “shut up about defense” post I mentioned my belief that some teams get high seeds because they’re so good that they can play well below their ceiling, particularly in terms of defensive focus, and still beat most people on most nights, and other teams get high seeds because they’re always going full out. In the…

Worst. Pez. Dispenser. Ever.

Makes perfect sense. Broken tibias are always a calves problem.

Honest question, the Casey Affleck thing was settled 7 years ago. To my knowledge there hasn’t been any more allegations of him acting dumb and he seems to be relatively liked by other respected people in his field. Is it fair to keep bagging on him? I got arrested in my early 20's cause I was stupid once (drank too…

““Kap” traded his status as one of the rising NFL superstars heralded as “the future of the league” to take a stand for something he believed in.”

They also think it is somehow charming in a wild, untamed loner kinda way. they rope in women who have bought into the idea that love can change/cure people. It is similar to the women who think it is cute or charming when they brag about being high-maintenance drama queens.
