I used to get pissed off about how the show, once it ran out of book material (hell, even beforehand) was taking the book’s themes and overarching worldbuilding and reducing them to big bold plot points that don’t actually say anything and call into question what the point of a bunch of other stuff actually was. The…

I hated the ending of Breaking Bad. I thought it was massively disappointing.

Yes, I know. It doesn’t stop it from being asinine.

Well, that was up to the Marlins. Knowing that, they had no reason to schedule when they did.

I 100% believe that. God this team is run by such a motley collection of morons and failures.

I checked ESPN yesterday at a random time and was shocked to see the Mets game already over. Seriously, who the fuck OKed a home opener at 1pm on a Thursday? The day after a night game in Florida? What fucking madness is this? It pissed me off, and I’m just some random idiot Met fan. Syndergaard is right to be furious.

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is a quintessential masculine-coded guilty pleasure. As is the ridiculous, wonderfully stupid knife-making reality competition show Forged in Fire.

Yeah, people love talking about tulips, but the first real modern speculation bubble was actually railroads. Railroad company speculation nearly bankrupted Europe and indirectly helped cause the revolutions that rocked Europe in 1848.

That owuld be true if the Padres had a history of astute moves or smart long term thinking, but they haven’t done that in years. Machado is a good signing for anyone, but there’s not much in San Diego to make you think the Padres are about to be a powerhouse, even with Machado.

He blocked me too! I think it’s because I brought up that time he cost the state of Rhode Island $75 million with his spectacularly failed video game company.

Brees is not a good guy. He’s a bible humping shill for a fake supplement pyramid scheme. Granted, these seem like relatively minor offenses compared to some of the horribleness that you see our there in sports. But let’s not pretend he’s a great guy just because we haven’t heard of anything worse than religious…

They’re all awful. They just show it in different ways. Also, mistreating the city of St. Louis is almost a positive thing.

This is probably going to end in an absolutely franchise defining embarrassment for the Mets, a la the Kazmir trade in 2004. But most likely Syndergaard was going to be be a very good pitcher on a mediocre Mets team not good enough to make the playoffs for the nest three years. I suppose trading him to put together an…

This article is way, way, way too short on details. “Previously, Mennin sentenced the controversial artist to four years probation and 1,000 hours of community service for the 2015 charge.” What charge? You follow it up with “Since being indicted on racketeering and firearm charges last month, he’s been in federal…

Here’s some footage of a Project 21 meeting:

This company refunding all these scammed people is so heartwarming it brings a tear to my eye. Someone should start a crowdfunding campaign to finance GoFundMe’s refund effort.

This makes sense. Best Picture is usually one by some mediocre middlebrow prestige movie. Might as well try to expand is to possibly also honor mediocre middlebrow blockbusters too.

Threatening to remove funding to a state he doesn’t like in the middle of a crisis is some massive (and horrific) authoritarian bullshit. But he actually accidentally stumbled upon a real fact about CA’s forest fires. Decades of forest mismanagement is indeed one of the primary reasons forest fires are as bad as they…

But it’s also a wrong statement. There was ample evidence in the Dowd report to implicate Rose, and James misrepresented that evidence in order to make his point:

1. As someone below pointed out, his ranking of Pete Rose includes a lengthy, completely inaccurate defense of Rose, one that misrepresents the case against Rose in order to make it’s point. Rose’s admission a few years later to gambling on baseball made this one age poorly REALLY fast.
