Seriously, you’re basically dealing with pig/cow/etc sweepings, no matter what it is. People getting snobby about fucking sausages crack me up.

“Pussy centrists” tend to vote in larger numbers than “energized yoots that will show up for the sign-laden party downtown but then forget about election day and blame gerrymandering.”

“Neoliberal” is just like “liberal” and “conservative” in that it doesn’t actually mean anything anymore and serves primarily as a vague notion to rile up (insert group here). The primary difference is that it didn’t take as long for “neoliberal” as a term to reach that stage of being.

Same. But maybe he wants a new challenge? Encouraging your new team to gut itself of anything approaching depth in the West would certainly qualify as setting up a great challenge.

Seriously, you’d think that the guy who had to drag that wheelbarrow full of carcasses to the Finals this past year (and has had to do it several times over his career) wouldn’t be so interested in having his possible new team send all the promising young guys and draft picks out the door.

This is my nightmare as a Laker fan. Remember when the Knicks had a solid team and then gutted it just so the could get Melo a few months earlier than they would have otherwise, since he was pretty determined to sign with them in FA anyway? I can understand being a little skittish about Kawhi being convinced to stay…

I remember this vividly. Being a Pirates fan from 1993-2012 was a slog most of the time (and has become so again; the fact that Jake Arrieta is Just A Guy now makes that wild card loss hurt even more), but this was at least memorable.

I’m not rooting for it to be bad, and the trailer makes it seem like it could even be good, but I’m still stuck on the part about a movie with a lead character who is essentially “evil Spider-Man” (or at least “decidedly more killing-friendly Spider-Man”) but without, y’know, Spider-Man.

Seriously, a lot of this nonsense could end in the next two elections if the left would actually get out and vote instead of pouting and whining: “Vote for whoooooo...” Uh, the Democrats. Vote for them instead of continuing to eat your own and using gerrymandering as an excuse.

Jesus.

This is the part that always makes me scratch my head when people complain about the lack of D’Arcy. Shit, the likelihood is that even if D’Arcy *was* on the tour, Billy would’ve done the bass work on the actual recording, anyway. Also, having seen James Iha play live, I can tell you that Jeff Schroeder eats his lunch…

Seriously, what needs to be explained that the lady at the end didn’t lay out for everyone in excruciating detail? And it’s not like the movie was particularly murky to begin with.

Milwaukee is the choice. They should just rubber stamp that right now. But knowing the DNC, they’ll do it in San Francisco and end up running, oh, let’s say... Martin O’Malley.

Don’t forget the Nuggets, pal, I have it on good authority that LeBron has been holding a pen in signing position for several days just waiting for that contract to slide underneath it.

*fist bump*

I’m glad that the US isn’t in the tournament this year if only for the fact that we’ll probably get to avoid the incessant “will THIS be the year America finally embraces soccer???” articles.

Everything millennials do that’s different is inevitably branded as lazy and/or destructive because that’s easier than pointing out that our current systems are unsustainable.

Bingo. Thing is, people don’t have a specific right to live somewhere. Getting displaced by rich assholes who decided they like your home sucks, but that’s the way it goes. There’s only so much space, money talks, and people have to be willing to move.

I think there’s a legit shot — Ballmer’s got deep pockets and loves basketball, there is some talent there to work with, Jerry West is hanging around the front office these days playing shadow GM, and, as you say, they have a ton of room. Plus, on a scale of accomplishment, what’s cooler? Helping the Lakers win a 17th…
