In true Luke Plunkett fashion, I’m gonna rank your 10 GOTY picks in order of which provides the best sneakerhead experience.

Hi Todd!

Eh, I still find it dubious. I read your sources, but the only element of them that seems to clinch it is Kean’s claim that it would take about two years for Caesar’s last breath to be distributed across the globe. Maybe I’ll get around to reading his book, as it does sound fascinating, but until I have I’ve got only…

How about shed some light on the recent events or successes for once?

One of my favorite “fun” facts is that we’re closer in time to seeing a T-Rex than a T-Rex was to seeing a Stegosaurus (T-Rex went extinct about 65 million years ago, but Stegosaurus went extinct about 80 million years before T-Rex was even around).

“The letter J wasn’t invented until 1630"

Truth. Reality is, if you’re not planning on competition, what you do with your hands is irrelevant. Whatever you need to maintain a good rack position without pain, do it.

I don’t drive, because I live in a country with excellent public transport so there is no need to drive if you live in an urban area. I also got a year’s paid leave with my son, get free health care, paid sick leave, subsidized child care, free higher education and I have never worried that I would be the victim in a…

Front squats are the only squats I do — because you can power clean the bar into position (and I don’t have a rack at home). That’s means I do sub-optimal weights a lot of time, but it also keeps me honest about getting a heavy bar off the ground.

I recently tried the strap version and can highly recommend it!

Fantastic article, Gita!

Naruto had some genuinely excellent fight sequences (some of my fav key animators were involved/got their big breaks w/ that show), but I dunno about a statement like “some of the best fights in anime”. It was good for a weekly shounen show, but it wasn’t all THAT, esp. when we’re talking about a Studio Pierrot…

I miss when twitter wasn’t important.

The title is trending on Twitter! Talk about the best time and article for this to happen. Michael Harriot is getting it DONE.

There is nothing he can say to me that would make me vote for him in the primaries, though, should he win, I’d walk across broken glass to vote for him.

I hear you. I was the first or only black person so many times that I was truly surprised when I wasn’t. Keep up the good work Michael. Be Bold, Be Beautiful, Be Black Excellence.  Besides, it drives the rednecks crazy.

higher education is a lonely place as a minority. When I was working on my PhD, I was the only ethnic minority (I am a brown guy, incidentally) in my entire program.

“It proves men like him are more willing to perpetuate the fantastic narrative of negro neighborhoods needing more role models and briefcase-carriers than make the people in power stare into the sun and see the blinding light of racism.”

They believed in you and it really speaks to what they saw in you. Look at you now. You have a whole lot of people that are so thankful for you. Keep writing truth to power and we will continue to read, learn, and grow.
