I think this is another reason why the narrative persisted so long—because nobody wants to look like a jackass by piling on a senior citizen POW. (Save Trump, of course, but his criticism was so shallow and callous that it was worse than none at all.) I think the prominent issue was that none of what he did was…

I would like to point out that for a lot of black people, this stuff isn’t history. This is MEMORY. I was born shortly after the Civil Rights Act. My folks got on the back of the bus because you were ORDERED to by law. This racism thing is really not that old.

McGregor used to work as a plumber, scraping by on welfare checks in Ireland.

People didn’t even ask questions about Peyton manning when he had 3 neck surgeries and had hgh delivered to his house

Fuck Peyton Manning. Fuck his phony good ‘ol boy persona, his hobnobbing with Republican politicians, the spitefully racist cover-up of his sexual assault at Tennessee, and how the entire sports media world refused to cover his PED scandal for literally no other reason than blatant favoritism. Fuck Peyton Manning.

Maybe, just maybe, more of them would have longer careers if they weren’t treated like disposable assembly line workers in a pre-OSHAA-era factory.

You’re saying this based on the fact that Bernie endorsed Ellison but I’ve been following this race and a) the ideological difference between Ellison and Perez is much smaller than you think, despite the endorsements, and b) the DNC chair doesn’t set the ideological tone of the party anyway—it’s an organizing and…

My favourite fallacy is when people post the red-state/blue-state map to illustrate that ‘Murica is overwhelmingly red.

You know what’s going to happen when you raise wages though? A couple of unintended consequences:

You forgot “THEY’RE BEING PAID TO PLAY A GAME! WHAT ABOUT THE TEACHERS AND [ASSORTED OTHER CONCERN TROLLINGS]!”

“The smartest people are rarely the best on TV, and vice versa.”

Young and ESPN may be in damage control mode, but the “damage” actually makes me respect Young even more.

...I’m not sure if they’d already gotten physical with him...

Democrats outlawed jobs and progress? Must be why Obama saw 15 million private sector jobs created (400,000 private jobs LOST under GW Bush). Must be why Clinton oversaw 23 million new jobs in his term- the most of any US president.

The “I don’t even know him/her...” line is a standard dis by arrogant assholes; think how Donald Fucking Trump always says that about people when he’s trying to act superior. You can bet the Knicks had a lot of input composing those statements, and it was no mistake all those working stiffs “didn’t know” who Charles…

They do not rhyme.

Actually....he’s shooting 57.7% on shots within 5 feet.

I drew an interesting parallel to the 2016 election as well: Jesse Spano vs. Zack Morris; a Zack with less charisma and who never learned the lessons Mr. Belding taught. Jesse does the homework, knows the issues, and asks for help. Zack shucks friendship bracelets and weasels out his friends at every turn. He’s an…

Incorrect. Read anything about the history of nuclear scares and you’ll realize we’re one flock of birds (or other misinterpretation) away from someone exercising extraordinarily poor judgment from full-on nuclear annihilation. And what of Trump’s entire life’s work (much less his first three weeks as President) makes…

“To wrap it up, the main character certainly spent most of the book On the Road, which is probably where it gets its title. But is the road a metaphor? I think it’s pretty clear”.
