The original impetus for the first amendment were people who got all hot and bothered about something and went to the local printer to have fliers made up about it.

which results in their lives being destroyed

It doesn’t take much to be on higher moral ground than someone joking about people (some of whom are likely children) dying so that he can be edgy about how much he dislikes a pop star.

Remember when journalists in the United States was anyone who could and wanted to print a news paper? Our founding fathers, many of them self declared journalists would have loved blogging because it would be almost exactly like they were used to when it came to news and journalism.

Counterpoint: Dramond Green’s pass was technically more of a “football” pass and is more aesthetically pleasing. At the NBA awards this should win Assist of the Year.

I like this pass by David West in game 3 against the Spurs. 1 second left in the quarter.

“And they obviously did that by winning more points than the other team of players, by putting the ball inside the circle more often. Sportings are such fun and whimsy!”—Cruz

The happy couple, pictured.

You’re right, he’ll never be as good as Jordan until he commits an obvious, egregious foul to clear space for a title-clinching jumper. Or until he gives up the title-clinching shot to a role player in two different championships.

Potentially having gold is not actually having gold. Would I rather have two bars of gold in my actual hands right now, or a piece of paper that says “Here is a certificate for five bars of gold payable in 2022, but the chances of it actually paying out are anywhere between 10% and 60%, and nobody knows the exact…

The idea that tanking “just started” is the best part of this already ridiculous conversation in which a lot of reasonable human beings argue with a deluded killjoy who spends more time arguing about Sam Hinkie online than he does watching basketball, the game he supposedly enjoys.

It always was a slur for a gay man. No one changed the meaning on you, are you serious?

Yeah, gonna have to disagree with you there, Hootie. “Back in my day, lots of unimaginative dudes liberally used a hateful slur” isn’t a reason to let this slide. MLB should be swift and forceful in any action they take, and I’m glad they’ve announced they’re investigating the incident. In a case like this, I don’t…

Death in deep poverty from a treatable disease without access to health care because the treatable disease was a preexisting condition.

The damage caused by Roger Ailes is truly breathtaking in its impact and scope.
