Techno-libertarians thought they could trick the fringe left into believing them allies by throwing around a few words about “government transparency” and... goddamn if the Nader marks and the Stein rubes didn’t bite but hopefully the tide is turning, now.

Micro transactions in free-to-play are fine! Micro transactions for something you already paid sixty dollars for, fuck that.

Considering how little journalists get paid, I say fuckin’ sell that shit. Whether it’s ethical to take it to begin with or not is a hazier matter for sure but if you already own it, sell it. Put an egg on top of that Ramen Pride tonight. Go big.

It was dumb as hell in the XFL and it’s dumb as hell in e-sports. If you’re a hobbyist playing other hobbyists, do whatever your community standard is, of course, but the moment you’re on TBS or ESPN5 or whatever, for God’s sake, use your name.

Mr. Hogan, you have your goddamned money, isn’t that enough?

To not be still lying in his confession so as to create a redemption vector. That and to give whatever he doesn’t lose in lawsuits to his children and then live as a beggar in sackcloth for the rest of his fucking life.

“How can I feel like I’m doing something passionately and seem like I’m doing it to others without actually doing anything about it?” is the most basic and primal question asked in all things in America. Maybe in the entire human experience.

If so, only if it wasn’t read closely because it is a confession that doesn’t apologize everywhere and obviously is trying to admit just enough to still be able to have a redemption arc later. If you believe a man that smart and culturally reflective didn’t understand in the moment that they could not consent, when…

If you don’t understand how even a word of mild dislike from a very popular comic can kill a not-yet-popular comic’s career, you either know nothing about the entertainment industry or you are just trolling in the comments for kicks like an asshole.

When you have power of their livelihood over someone and you have them physically cornered, the idea that you can received free-will consent is ludicrous on its face. And he’s LYING when he says he didn’t know that then. His “I’m Just A Big Ol’ Dad Who Wasn’t Woke Yet” excuse is a lie and it renders any remorse in his…

50,000 times better of an apology than the puffery people are lauding CK for putting out, underlining another layer of sexism in this whole stinking mess.

The only difference between UFC and the WWE at this point is that in the WWE, they’re trying to only look like they’re hurting each other in the process of their staged drama.

“Legitimate” journalism wouldn’t have reported it if “illegitimate” journalism hadn’t started the conversation.

More proof that what you did at Gawker, that you do at Jez is important and that any blood-sucking technolibertarians funding wash-up wrestlers trying to prevent journalism should go fuck themselves.

Boston sport radio is such a cesspool that this guy came closer to a full genuine apology than I thought he would and still came nowhere near to a full genuine apology.

“I’m innocent! Don’t believe me? Ask this guy so ineptly corrupt that even Donald Trump clowns him.”

The sad truth is that sports ownership tends to be about running some scam or another and the only difference is that in an “established” league, government, journalists and business interests treat them as “too big to fail” with stadium deals and anti-trust exemptions.

Rich assholes can never say “I’m healthy because I have the money to eat right and have a bunch of trainers” because then they have to admit they’re not special supermen, they’re just rich assholes. Rich assholes will do anything to pretend that they’re special, know something magical, not just that they’re rich…

Roberts wearing out relievers like he thinks he’s Joe Torre or Terry Collins out there.

At least juleps’ll get you drunk. Candy corn is a flavourless diabetes vector.
