Just about everyone should be ecstatic that the Kings look decent. Their draft pick this year is probably going to the Celtics, and it is in everyone’s interest for that pick to be outside the top 10. Honestly, If the Warriors didn’t exist everyone would be talking about how the Celtics broke basketball. (BTW they are…

His friend in the red looks far more punchable. Anyone pointing at a person 2 feet away always looks like an asshole.

I’ve never met anyone that hates it or loves it. Though plenty of people are kind of insulted by it. (Insult in both in the ‘insulting my intelligence’ sense and the ‘insulted by the white savior tropes’ sense). But if you hate movies for those reasons, you’ll hate a whole lot of movies.

Avatar was a hit because of the 3D moment. It got the reputation of being 3D at its finest. People went because they were promised a life altering 3D experience. It wasn’t quite that, though Avatar’s 3D was excellent, and it covered up how mediocre the movie was. The 3D moment is gone now, so there is no reason for…

And the president is promoting a policy that denies their right to legally exist as person who has changed sex/gender. It isn’t technically promoting their deaths, but I would include that as a powerful denial of the idea that “trans people deserve to live.”

How is this a scoop for Swan? how is it even a guess? Trump has made it clear, explicitly several times he wants to get rid of birthright citizenship. Is the next scoop to say to Sen McConnell: Some great scholars say that reducing entitlement spending and cutting taxes on businesses would improve the economy and save…

I love it when record setting highlights have some inexplicable detail like Klay’s hideous yellow headband for his record setting 3. He ran into his center’s chin and busted his forehead open. The giant headband pulled low is to cover the blood. It looks ridiculous.

but they are not even close to equivalent actions. It’s like if a fourteen year old calls your kid a dirty name so you follow the twerp home, sneak into his bedroom and threaten him with a gun.

Doesn’t count. Cesar Sayoc. Sounds ethnic so he isn’t really a conservative Republican. Practically a Democrat. Look at those stickers about Native Americans; probably an Elizabeth Warren fan.

This thing about taped consent interviews AFTER the shoot is SO stupid and literally designed for abuse. If the actress says something was non-consensual, the scene gets spiked, she doesn’t get paid and she gets a reputation. I think Leigh Raven(or maybe Benz) says she wasn’t allowed to say anything was out of the…

Men can have longer careers, even successful women actors tend to have short careers of less than 5 years. So the men are able to entrench themselves and their friends (a ton of directors and producers are former male actors), while most women are never able to reach positions of power before the end of their careers.…

But these terrible male actors have no problem killing the fantasy to indulge their egos. They have to always show off how macho, badass and in control they are, even if that is in direct conflict with the scenario. (“I can’t believe how lucky I am that this beautiful woman hit on me when I came over to fix her…

Most of the Boston fan terribleness seems to be concentrated on the football season. The others are a normal amount of annoying. (not counting for the universally awful and generally racist WEEI sports radio fans.)

Ruth and Bonds* are better than Trout (*ignoring extenuating circumstances). But, as you say, he is better than Betts, who had a better year. (though even that hinges upon the idea that singles are much better than walks.)

Might not be about bias for/against the Braves, just the thing where old    players of every sport fetishize ‘good old-fashioned hard-nosed veterans playing the right way, like we did in my day’ as being more important than the new-fangled analytics ruining the game by insisting things like talent and performance are…

A fat, old man in a sports jersey his girlfriend bought him for his big day. That is sadder.

You could go to a preseason game. In Oakland you can wear the visitor’s jersey in the Black hole for $6 and be perfectly fine.

He seems really bored with his job. Just going through the motions of punching a guy a hundred times. Like a McDonald’s trainee with a bad attitude sweeping a clean floor because the assistant manager said “you got time to lean, you got time to clean.”

They try to target those ad to the individual, but the targeting can be really off. My nephew gets a bunch of Spanish language beer commercials even though he doesn’t speak Spanish nor drink beer (not just Corona or hip imports; Spanish Bud Light ads). I guess something in the research suggests that gay train…
