The place i work has double well drinks every night for $5, and usually at least one non top-shelf, but still name booze at the same price point each evening.

Jesus...it seems to be getting worse! He should take the rest of the year off and just go sit on a beach somewhere without a basketball anywhere within a hundred miles for a few months, then come back in August.

I hope every single USAG board member is fired and replaced with people like Denhollander and Raisman. You’re right; it’s the only way to fix it.

And then Denhollander began to speak. Throughout this process—from the first time I read her name in the initial Indy Star stories to this moment in court a year and a half later—Denhollander has been the picture of poise under pressure. When she first came forward, she had been alone; the only victim whose name and…

I have a 5 year old daughter. In the past year I’ve looked in to classes for her to do fun things. I’ve looked at soccer, gymnastics, dance, and some other things. The one unifying thing I see is how fucking SERIOUSLY everyone involved takes this shit. I just want some group sport or activity for my kid to play with…

Kid is wise beyond his years. Good story.

I posted a comment yesterday that if this is the level of response from MSU there isn’t a chance in hell I’d allow either of my children to attend school there even on a full scholarship. You cannot do NOTHING in response to this level of abuse and have ANYONE - students, donors, parents, sponsors, etc. believe that…

You make it seem like any goddamned degenerate that shows up to this event is going to limit himself to only three drinks.

What you said is what I would have said only you said it a million times smarter

I won’t believe the party is real until I see that poster crudely taped to every light post and boarded-up window in a 15-block radius.

It’s a nice spot. Chance the Rapper and Jon Batiste did an impromptu set at Amsterdam last May.

DJ WHITE KRISTMAZZ ON THE WHEELS OF STEEL!!!!

I’m not sure they’ve been out in front of it proactively (or else they would not need to put out an apology letter) as much as they are being very reactive to it after the fact.

Get on that Zyrtec sponsorship train. I’d love any team not sponsored by a betting company.

Goffman and the presentation of self, etc etc.

For real, there’s some really interesting stuff here, with ideas that don’t toe the normal Fusion/Gawker line (i.e. Natalie is as much a latent racist as she is a trangressive dissident of an overly performative digital age), but it sure takes an awfully verbose route.

Fair enough and point well taken, but the legislature cutting back on funding for the school is a far cry from people taking to the streets, if you will. Also, I’d love to see season tickets holders for MSU football take such a stand, but, realistically, hell would have to freeze over first. (And not Hell, Michigan.)

I’m becoming OK with the idea that these guys didn’t need to attend every hearing. I think it’s entirely true that the media would have focused on them and less on the women.

Mary Lou Retton is gross. Just months ago she was lobbying against the safe sport bill to a senator. Vom.

I don’t know, I’m glad for this announcement, but considering they waited until the sentencing and the letter even includes a “sorry we weren’t there”, this is not “out in front.” I think it’s just this side of on time.
