I work in Cambodia, which is one of the most openly corrupt regimes in the world and thus a perfect way station for trade in ivory, rhino horn, pangolin scales, and so on. The lead photo in this story will make you cry. Before that I worked in Vietnam, which is the biggest market for rhino horn. It’s a ridiculous…

I think this might be the Sandyhook moment of the Trump presidency. This is the smoking gun. This is so obviously quid pro quo. Nobody’s even pretending otherwise. Let’s remember that ZTE is in trouble largely due to the US Department of Commerce banning it because it violated sanctions against North Korea and Iran,…

I thought James put the final nail in the GOAT conversation last year when he averaged a triple-double in the NBA Finals. Oddly, he seems to be finally getting his due for dragging this ragtag roster and useless coach to the brink of yet another Finals. (Yes, I realize a lot of the deadwood is there because of James,…

The sports media hive mind anointed Harden MVP before the season began, and once again James is showing how idiotic the award is.

I didn’t see game 6 but I watched all of game 5. I’m just glad Steve Kerr didn’t live to see it. The Warriors would never have abandoned their offense if he was still coaching.

‘Member that time Green scored 37 points in a quarter? Green is a fine player, but Thompson is the second-best shooter in the NBA and a lockdown defender.

You should write for Deadspin.

I hate to say, but Kerr crapped the bed in this series. If Warriors play Warriors ball, there’s no way the Rockets keep up. Instead he handed the ball to Durant and said “Go win it for us, Kevin!” Please, spare me the comments about Houston’s stellar defense. It was painful to watch the Warriors — the Warriors!! —…

Ahem. This is the Deadspin comments section. You and your... facts are not welcome here. This is 2018. Feelings are what matters. If I feel James Harden is a female swimmer from Poland, and you disagree, you are trampling my First Amendment rights. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to elaborate on my “the Warriors…

Amen. The torrent of outrages is constant and overwhelming that we don’t have time to properly appreciate how off-the-charts crazy this. FFS, who thinks like this? I’ve been saying Supreme Leader Kim would humiliate Supreme Leader Trump. Now Kim can go back to his people and honestly brag that he made the president of…

Now he’s looking forward to Johnson’s return to the ring.

FAKE NEWS!

Nah. That would require higher-order thinking skills. Or just plain thinking.

The problem with ESPN is in the photo at the top. They have made Professional Idiot SAS the face of the network, while letting Actual Journalists go. If you scroll the website, Stephen A’s face pops up repeatedly. I grew up watching knowledgeable people having lively discussions about sports. Now it’s loud men yelling…

I’m just happy Steve Kerr didn’t live to see this. What’s that, he’s still there? Then what the hell is he doing? It was excruciating watching supposedly the most intricate offense in the NBA get reduced to a series of clear-outs for Durant. You have three of the best shooters in history, so you run an in-bounds play…

Here’s a better plan: Don’t.

They should stoop, with their knees an inch above the ground.

I’ll play along: How am I to blame?

What exactly was won, and by whom, in the mind of Vice President Norman Bates? On a related note, I love how the supposedly liberal media pressed Trump during the campaign when he talked about how America doesn’t win any more, and all the winning that would happen on his watch. LULZ JK. Of course they didn’t ask him.…

It will no doubt help him solve the opioid crisis. And restructure the federal government.
