“Both sides are stupid” isn’t “not saying anything” it is saying something idiotic and banal and dangerous. In America we hear this shit ALL THE TIME and it covers up the very worst from bad actors. The rise of the modern radical reactionary Republican party and Trump is due completely to the masses of people who say…

If two libertarians were to meet on the woods, it’s because of an arranged sex-date. No matter what you see on cable news and in op-eds, there aren’t enough actual libertarians in this country to run into each other on accident.

I think the only firm statement South Park has ever taken on anything is that Family Guy is hacky and lazy.

But the Giants’ public transit is excellent (as it is for the A’s) . The A’s stadium location sucks because it has great parking. The stadium sits in an ocean of asphalt and they complain about it being a terrible neighborhood. Even if it was surrounded by cool bars and shops, you’d have to walk a mile past parked…

This is Jimmy showing that the implied “or else” to his trade demands is very real. If Butler isn’t out of there by Friday, Karl-Anthony Towns is going to get a full on Kwame Brown-ing. 

And Brown was doing something illegal. Don’t know the height of the building but there are laws and criminal penalties for defenestration. Almost injuring someone while doing something illegal is tailor-made for a successful civil suit. If Brown was some random guy who sold khakis at Old Navy there would be no law suit…

Next you’re going to tell me that Akeem the African Dream was some white redneck from South Carolina, or that Vince McMahon’s instincts about race are very problematic.

It’s impressive, but what is the difference between this and doing a normal free climb with a safety rope, but if you fall someone shoots you in the head?

I think Spock has been off somewhere being a hermit/hobo and a beard is the universal symbol for being “off the grid.” 

Iowa almost screwed this one up. The blocking was atrocious. Iowa had MN outnumbered in the area of attack, Three Gophers beat their blocks quickly and directly. Number 94 half-assedly sold the fake instead of blocking or even slowing down the guy in front of him who almost ran it down from behind. No one should have…

Simple white privilege is a huge understatement in both Trump and Kavanaugh cases. (though you can’t get to that level of privilege without starting out at white privilege of the most arrogant, clueless and entitled sort.)

But at some dosage these drugs are catastrophic to long term health. Some amount of CERA, artificial steroids, etc is safe, but people who take larger than safe doses have a big advantage up until it makes them sick or kills them. (Or more accurately: dramatically increases their odds of premature death.) So unless…

How is that unexpected? He’s been the heart of the Avengers for over 50 years in the comics, and they wrote the movies around him and Stark with Captain America as the conscience. He was the heart by design. I suppose you could be surprised they pulled it off, but it wasn’t unexpected.

No one wants to deal with uncomfortable stuff. If you give them an excuse to think of the world the way they want it to be, they will grab that. The fact that he went trough a trial and didn’t go to jail proves it didn’t happen. Give people a chance to forget, they will take it. Bill Cosby lost in the court of public…

Most writers have multiple potential opportunities and projects going at once, sometimes involving potential newsmakers in their field. It doesn’t mean they can’t have a job as a journalist. That’s not how conflicts of interest work. Ideally it is all disclosed to the public and on important issues, someone else would…

There is a middle ground between letting manipulative tenants scam you, and screwing over the tenant. Some landlords in this situation will make tenant responsible for a full year’s rent while banning sub-leases. Original tenant gives up his keys on the promise that landlord will hunt for a tenant to take over.…

This needs to be re-posted before every basketball season and again before the playoffs. Some things are too important to be covered just once. Like how you learn about the American civil war in elementary, middle, and high school and again from the P.E. coach wearing polyester shorts with his shirt tucked into the tri…

This has nothing to do with taking more risks on fourth down. The whole point of going for it more on 4th down is to give your team a better chance of scoring more than your opponent in the remaining time. This move wasn’t that. This is a coach deciding that ties are bad and a tie is as bad as a loss. A tie is half a…

Throwing QB into the ground: looks like a penalty to me.

“If you look at all of my Calendars you’ll find that I didn’t attempt rape until 1984 and was not successful until 1987. Furthermore you’ll see that I only rape on Wednesdays. So obviously the slut is lying.”
