The Smoking Gun (which is kind of a skeevy website, but not always wrong) did an expose of Frey, depending on nonexpunged public records and interviews with people who knew him back when (Frey has never really come clean about his true story, despite reluctantly admitting that AMLP is mostly fiction, and Hazelden,…

hey have you ever been dragged to the sidewalk and beaten until you

You wanted 7-Up but he made you drink Coke.

Well, having your son die of a horrible disease PROBABLY shouldn’t be considered karmic payback for writing a fake book, but what do I know.

Because evangelicals vote on exactly one issue: abortion. He can continue be incredibly immoral as long as he keeps appointing judges who will rule against abortion, starting departments for the purposes of protecting religious anti abortion rights, and speaking at anti-abortion rallies; he’ll get their vote.

I haven’t read it in years, but wasn’t every line of dialogue spoken by a non-James Frey character a compliment about how tough and real James Frey was?

That was actually a pretty good book. If they would have just released it as fiction instead of lying about it being a biography.

By all means, let’s keep rewarding the guy who not only scammed his readers, but continues to scam hungry young writers into writing his shitty YA franchises that he sells to Hollywood and for which he pays $250. Clearly the kind of guy who deserves continued success in Trumpmerica.

Why are we stopping them? Let nature do it’s work.

So one of my absolute favorite bands reunites after 21 years, has an incredible response headlining a huge festival, starts playing shows again, and there is even talk of them making new music. And naturally fans are getting excited to see them possibly do a full-blown tour or release a new album. Then this happens?…

Youtube has been the standard for web video for nearly the entirety of its 13 year lifespan. It is owned by one of the largest companies in the world that also happens to own the single most frequently visited web page on the internet — that traffic is an asset to advertisers and creators. The fact that Youtube and…

I know no liberals who particularly liked Hillary Clinton, only those who preferred her to the alternative. 

The IOC will let anything slide with the proper inducement. I suspect several million inducements were given to the IOC.

I can’t help but think that ANY interaction that is allowed by the North Korean government between its citizens and other nations’ citizens will be a good thing.

before all the CTE/pressure of sports and being in a sports family/college life hot takes, know this—very often people are compelled to kill themselves for no goddamn reason at all. some days you just wake up and think, out of nowhere, “probably should kill myself today”.

I feel so bad for this young man, his family, friends, and others near him.

The NBA has become so unbalanced that a 26-17 team with the best player in the sport is considered to ‘suck’ because there are 3 other teams with 3 All NBA candidates on their rosters.

This country, the first to land a man on a foreign body, is planning on launching humans into space in the pursuit of science using a company that on average blows up one paid-for cargo launch per year for no better reason than it’s cheaper than the next option. This country can however afford to pay the next option,…
