KD’s injury sounds really bad, but not as bad as the song James Dolan is going to write about it. 

All you had to do was not cheer KDs reinjury, Toronto.

Stunning Finals upset for the Calves.

I think what you mean to say is “they 10x it”

KD is going to play 6 minutes in game 5, be a -50 and then explode both Achilles. He'll then sign a super max contact with the Knicks. 

This is delicious theater.

This is why I love Deadspin, FWIW. Nobody "sticks to sports," because ultimately sports are pretty fucking petty when not considered in a broader sociocultural context.

Still not as bad as sports broadcasters on the radio for <insert any city with a terrestrial sports radio station>

If it doesn’t matter, then neither do they. So it has to matter.

The degree to which sportswriters think that petty bullshit like this matters is just staggering.

Paying attention to the nuances in the characters instead of just spewing visual effects. I would submit that the Dark Phoenix story worked so well in the comics because of the intimate relationship between Jean and Scott.

My daughter recently started watching the Netflix show A Little Help With Carol Burnett, in which celebrities and regular people go on and tell their problems, and the panel of 6-to-9-year-olds offer advice (sometimes helpful, but usually terrible, because kids are dumb). Anyway, Taraji P. Henson was on one episode,…

Awesome! As a scientist, I wish more of us worked to influence policy. If you’re interested, there are a number of different groups that train people for political work. Even if you never run for office, the training can be very valuable as you’ll learn how to effectively lobby and raise money.

Beyond biological studies there is also a glaring blind spot for research that addresses gender and socialization in many fields. Outside of feminist and critical scholars who are typically marginalized in academia very little work in my field (judicial politics) examines how things like evidence law were likely…

Thanks for sharing this video! I agree that making everything about biology is probably not the best way to phrase this, and I’m happy to change the way I see how “important” that is. But I think this video actually does a great job of showing that research at least needs to include both XX and XY animals at the basic…

Yeah, they’re extremely biased. Especially when it comes to anything concerning gender and race. The origins of many forms of scientific research were built upon the backs of people of color and women that did not give their consent to participate. In many cases, women of color specifically gave themselves up to…

You’re right. There really is no such thing as a specifically “male” or “female” brain. However, there are biological differences that present in male and female animals. In both cases, sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone influence neurobiology and behavior. I honestly don’t care what the influence of those…

I’m not surprised by this answer at all. The worst part is that younger, female investigators are just as biased because guess who trained them? Oh right, that guy. 

Mimi will provide competition.  

I nominate my cat Shelby as the new official Grumpy Cat. Or at least Resting Bitch Face Cat.
