Good addition: Heiden could have been the biggest Winter Olympian (in US at least) of them all... but he blew off the limelight and never looked back.

I believe she's stated she had a treadmill/desk setup — which is within reach of anyone who works from home and makes a solid annual salary.

Hmmm... Is Tracie being held hostage and forced to write this listless click-bait? Or is this just what a long-term gig at Gawker Media looks like now?

I'd like to be further enlightened as well - count me in.

By "pretty" you mean "conventionally attractive," right?

Dammit - porn tweets may not be the ideal métier for you after all...

I can never decide if porn today is a big-dollar industry that should be recruiting top talent, or a goofy grey-market sector w/a worse business model than the music industry...

Haha... It's a doomed errand to get into a back/forth on the merits of a porn-industry tweet with a professional porn-industry tweeter.

It's nice to see the Jez commentariat is able to hold onto its "football = rape culture" politics until four or five good-looking players gather in one place, and smile.

Bang on. Slightly painful to see all this joyful piling-on by commentators convinced they're whaling on some entitled Tory earl... when the culprit is far more likely to be some nice little man from a trades union whose previous role model was Arthur Scargill.

Worth noting that the Lords now consists almost entirely of life (i.e., appointed) peers— the majority of which came from Labour.

Ah. I must have assigned too much weight to the phrase, "There's nothing wrong with that."

I posted a quick list of headline language from the game elsewhere. It included (in addition to "killed"):

And "got killed" is a way more common phrasing in this context than "got raped"... don't see how this argument hangs together.

The NFL loves to exaggerate how many people overseas watch the game — but that said, it's must be off the mark to assume the non-US market (who was awake and online) would be wholly unaware of the score.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. A quick scan of this morning's headlines reveals many other possible wordings:

Yeah, I went and checked Reddit afterward. She was an IV drug user who weighed 314 lbs (before the abscess exploded) and had been injecting into her perineum.

"I'll spare you the preliminary details" almost has to mean "the patient was morbidly obese", doesn't it?

So... you stayed in a cheap Euro-hostel (or equivalent) and figure you were the only ones fucking there? Not impossible, but hardly likely.

"Kids aren't averse to spiders, poo or rotten food"... so be positive about your vaginal fragrance...
