For the people who will undoubtedly find nothing wrong with this, *cough PATS FANS/FANTASY OWNERS cough* TRUMP*, please just imagine that your mom or sister was a commissioned painter and they come home and tell you this is what happened to them while they were trying to do their job. I’m just gonna guess that you…

Also tens of thousands of Pats fans. Folks here assume that any negative news about the team is just jealousy. It’s ... pretty awful.

Guys, I’m starting to think that Antonio Brown might be an asshole.

Yeah, but he scored a touchdown yesterday, so it’t all cool, right.  Right?

Not true. A lot of researchers will simply measure the serum gronk levels from a standard Complete Metabolic Panel, but claiming to have fixed CTE is another way to test positive.

Gronk confidently telling a neuroscientist that CTE can be fixed is strong evidence that Gronk’s CTE has not, in fact, been fixed.

No it can’t, it is the other things you get that are diagnosed. Alzheimers and other dementia based diseases, depression and anxiety, things like that. Then once they are dead the brain is looked at and “oh yeah, CTE” is the answer.

Number one sign you have CTE:  You think your CTE is fixable.

My father was a go-getter at James Madison High in the late 1940s with Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It's true! To this day, when she comes up in conversation he refers to her as Ruthie.

Following orders in the face of torture and threat of death is, in fact, heroic. That doesn’t say anything about his politics (which were real bad!), but if heroism means anything it’s willingly suffering for a cause.

Thank you! I don’t even like Cortez much but I totally agree that the “well, actually...” followed by demonizing him when the body is barely cold is in bad taste. I know people have trouble hearing all of McCain’s good qualities lauded, but he was a mixed bag on both a personal and professional level. The fact that…

Yup. She made one standard issue statement on somebody’s passing and people are roasting her alive for being to generous with the adjectives. Jesus Christ people, it’s just a forgettable boilerplate press release.

Politics is bad, twitter is poison, put them together and you see the worst of people. Progressive, liberals, conservatives, libertarians, doesn’t matter people are blinded by politics and twitters anonymity brings out the worse in them. Thank you for being a sane and decent person.

Jesus Fucking Christ. All these people on the left falling all over each other in the name of purity can go fuck themselves. I’m so beyond sick of this. 

Yay, I found a sane person!

I’m honestly as tired as the “John McCain was a terrible terrible person who no one should say nice things about” pieces as the “John McCain was last of a rare and noble breed of American statesmen” pieces. Dude died just yesterday, and in my universe, it’s still poor manners to interrupt other people’s mourning with…

And she can do all that while thinking McCain was a decent person.

Are people not allowed to be civil and even kind to whom they disagree with anymore?

I don’t really get how that’s surprising.

Was Ariana Grande a surprise? Regardless of how we feel about her as a persona/diva, I thought we all generally understood that she’s an impressive singer. There are more than a few acapella recordings that her team regularly publish to remind everyone of the fact, given her actual music doesn’t always tend to…
