That’s what Page Six was likely willing to say, in exchange for the info. It’s not the only bit on the trial they’ve run —they also screwed Vanity Fair, by breaking the news that they’ve got an investigative reporting piece on Cosby’s former lawyer, Marty Singer.

That lawsuit was funded by none other than Edward Blum, and tellingly, it was disowned by many Asian students on campus.

What is “666 URDOOMED” written in blood supposed to mean?

I’m not so anxious. I lived in New York during the crack epidemic. I have lived through some other hairy shit otherwise too — during and after 9/11, and I’ve taken it mostly in stride —no panics at airports or anything.

Man, I had to reply to this…

This cannot be done as documentary. It demands a horror / thriller set up.

What I think is interesting, is that for all the talk about Ali being a racist, he was never particularly uncomfortable about talking frankly with them. He had close associates who were white. And yet he never bothered with defensively saying, “But I have white friends.”

Too bad that Peter Thiel is an investor in Reddit.

There’s something interesting —and interesting, in a morbid way— about reading these statements. Because beyond the wretchedness of victim-blaming, notice how Holtzclaw can’t stick to a narrative about his own actions? He can’t seem to say something as simple as “I was on the other side of town,” or “I did a search,

The thing is, it wasn’t a short con but a long one. Bill always kept his comedy clean, in that he didn’t curse, but we’re talking about a guy who everybody knew was spending time with Hugh Hefner in the 1960's and 70's. His books are littered with knowing winks-and-nods that boys will be boys and so on. The reason we

Without seeing the full text of the deposition, I can’t entirely say anything about the tenor about the questioning.

All jokes aside, and at the risk of being “that guy”: it’s an inconvenience to have talkative assholes next to you, or people whipping out bright-ass phones, or whathaveyou. But I feel like I can grumble and deal with that.

The obvious winner is The Pirate Bay.

The thing is, though, while there’s this singular focus among cabbies that “black people don’t tip” (as a stereotype), Europeans never tip unless they’re prompted to because it’s not their culture (universal healthcare and living wages, ha!)

I dunno what the case was exactly but I’m pretty sure “Planet Rock” didn’t just sample “Trans Europe Express.” Bambatta interpolated the keyboard riff, there’s a slight change of tempo and an 808, plus there’s orchestra hits throughout.

Being from NYC: removing tips and harshly punishing declined pickups were ways of trying to remove the bias of individual drivers as demonstrated in the yellow street-hail cabs here.

Evernote started playing footsie with Microsoft, too (integration with Outlook). And Microsoft and Google buried the hatchet with each other over search. Tech is getting weird like that —less venture capital money makes for these kinds of marriages of convenience.

I’m saying this as one of those metal kids of the 90's who grew up with Ozzy from the No More Tears tour onward. I’m perhaps seeing things through that lens but... Sharon and Ozzy have a relationship that looked endearing on a reality show, but has all the hallmarks of codependency. Sharon was Ozzy’s manager before

For me, when my mutually abusive parents divorced, it was a blessing. I finally had the ability to distance myself from them, after so many years of each of them finding a way to abuse me emotionally or through neglect. It happened when I was past 18, thankfully, so when the fighting for favor started I could just
