I was born and raised in Brooklyn, and moved to Los Angeles thirteen years ago. I still love where I grew up, the friends and family I have there, and what Brooklyn and NYC represent to me (and I frequently desire to move back). But I also recognize that the Brooklyn I grew up in mostly doesn’t exist anymore.

You should read the amazing NY Times Magazine article on this very issue (when was the right time): https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/08/01/magazine/climate-change-losing-earth.html

That’s only true in the NFL. Unlike the NFL players union, the MLBPA is actually strong.

“The Red Sox would never spit on their fans the way the Yankees are,” Lang says.

Really the practice can probably be traced to the Silver Age of comics. While it doesn’t match the later practice exactly (because later writers had more of a desire to make these replacements actually track in terms of storytelling), the Silver Age is when DC revamped all its old comics and offered new and entirely…

I very much agree. It was my surprise when I met him that he wasn’t just that asshole, but also creepy on top of everything else.

So was McCain, though. But I also put this pipe dream at 0%

Holy shit, I laughed so much at the parade of bizarre nonsense pics at the end of this article. Amazing.

I feel like this is one of those things were tone in written speech can be hard to read. I never felt like his admissions that an episode was good was grudging, or where his mention of how this bit is similar to a previous bit felt annoyed or tired. I also always felt that his mentions of how this is a call back to…

Libby Watson’s opinion above is the only good one.

Handlin’s tiresome sour take on VB, a show he obviously grew tired of years ago

I was wondering that. The incest was horrible, but the sodomy was like...are we still arresting people for anal sex? Turns out no. So thank you for the clarification.

If you’re syaing this you obviously haven’t been paying attention to New York state politics in the last 12 years. Since Elliot Spitzer beat John Faso to replace George Pataki (a republican), the NY governorship has seen Spitzer resign after a prostitution scandal, his Lieutenant Governor and replacement David…

I’m getting married next year and I’m firmly vacillating on whether or not to have a bachelor party and, if I do, whether it should be the traditional debauchery. I’m 36, will be 37 by the time of the wedding. But my two main circles of friends have, in general, all gotten married late. So everyone has had the…

OH MY GOD IT’S BARRON

I’m thinking it’s a Murder at the Orient Express “it’s all of them together!” sort of answer.
