I wouldn’t be so sure. Hard to remember now, but a guy by the name of Clarence Thompson (I think?) had his nomination derailed in the 90’s thanks to credible allegations of sexual misconduct, IIRC in no small part because Joe Biden just kept hammering him on the issue and demanded that his fellow Senators take the…

That’s absolutely true, but they belong to an often shady “brotherhood” that frequently places generating revenue above the health and safety of the public, and maintains a culture that shields its worst members of any repercussions from their bad acts, regardless of the severity (up to and including murdering…

No one really cares what cops want to do, they care about what cops actually do.

A.) I’m 36.

B.) I am a professor of Rhetorical Composition and Literature—and coming from a professional in the field, prescriptivism in casual communication is not a good look, particularly in light of how language actually functions.

C.) It’s a colloquialism. If that’s all it takes to get your boxers in a bunch (and…

I hope someone puts together a highlight reel of all the coaching this guy’s ignored and all the obscenities he’s ignored from male players. The violation for coaching was chickenshit at best, and that game penalty was fucking absurd.

This is nothing more than nonsense mythologizing justification. If you want to buy into this obvious self-serving bullshit, fine. Don’t expect anyone else to. 

Counterpoint: He needs to get angrier, and more frequently.

Since the person didn’t interject random praise on Trump throught out the op-ed,we can rule out John Barron as the author.

Hmmm... perhaps for only the second or third time in the history of the interwebs, one commenter might cause another commenter to change their mind. I’m on the east coast, but if I get west of the Rockies sometime soon maybe I’ll give ‘em one more try.

And it’s only $3.50!

What n00b gets a regular hamburger at In n Out. You get it animal style, combo with pink lemonade and animal fries if you want to clog your arteries. Mana from heaven.

Are there certain types of smug centrist liberals ready to go to bat for long running primetime medical soap operas? Is there going to be a counter-progressive 2020 campaign whose motto is “I support Grey’s Anatomy”?

But... you just made up both of those positions, in order to take one against the other. Why?

So you went from “ER and Clooney is sacrosanct to liberals” to “I have a funny feeling in my little toe that maybe if something were dug up on them, some people would maybe defend them”?

Hi, I’m Yummsh, and I’ve been Twitter-free for 8 months.

He’s not wrong. Obviously I don’t have the profile of a celebrity like him or any other, but just the constant, never-ending toxicity on Twitter is not healthy for any individual. I finally deleted my account probably about a month ago and I just feel happier. It sucks not being able to follow some of the writers and…

Imagine having a publicist who is so bad at their job that they called a 3rd tier newspaper to feed them the story about how their client so graciously thanked some nobody for not talking to them.

I was disappointed that there was no Beefheart in the bracket, but then I remembered there’s like a couple dozen of us, tops.

The Kardashian thing confused the fandom with the property. The fans are harmless, but the thing itself has been toxic to all intelligent life.

The Power Broker is sitting my nightstand (where it has been for a year).  Not because it isn’t good, because I wish they had it as an e-book because it hurts my wrists to read it after a while.
