This is some extremely Arizona shit 

I thought Clayton Kershaw’s tribute to that last night was really beautiful.

On one hand, you have the Chinese government who wants the ability to extradite residents of Hong Kong with no oversight. The same Chinese government that regularly disappears people in it’s custody, and is running literal concentration camps for ethnic minorities and political dissidents.

I mean, Madison Bumgarner basically won an entire World Series by himself.

Agree. At this point, is there any question that Madison Bumgarner is more “the greatest pitcher” of his generation than Kershaw? We sure as hell don’t talk about 2001 Seattle Mariners as the greatest team of all time.

“the greatest pitcher of his generation”

I think this is going to be one of those weird things they dig their heels in on, but never address or break the 4th wall on, like their misspelling of domestic terrorist Christopher Paul Hasson’s last name (they misspelled it Hassan, and never corrected it) or their instance on using “Latinx” despite the fact that…

So we agree that Trump has likely never smoked weed, but he’s for sure taken enough perscription pills to kill most of the race horses on Earth, right? I mean, I see him doing that and not counting it as “drugs” because it was from a doctor, or some sort of “medical person” who told him it would increase his manliness…

That joke took just the right amount of time to process the subtlety. Not so long that you think, “uhh”, but not so short that you think, “duh”. Bravo.

I think Bosa’s attitude had less to do with old college grudges than with the well known fact he just hates the browns. 

I’m sure she can architect a positive outcome to this challenge.

I’m sure the million ethnic Muslim Ugyhurs residing in the Xinjiang re-education camps will be happy to hear about the NBA’s commitment to Chinese fans as they assemble for their 5 a.m. re-education seminar. It will make their morning rice gruel taste so much sweeter.

“What was he thinking?”

Cops are just another organized crime syndicate.

I know that the Braves are young and fun and St. Louis is Public Enemy #1 in the Deadspin style guide, but as a Giants fan who will thus almost certainly* be cheering for the winner of this series against the Bums in the next round, I would very much rather align myself with the humorless smug fartsniffing Cardinals…

Add me to the list of people who’ve avoided Fleabag, but after this episode of SNL, that avoidance will end (once I find the time to watch even more television).

How dare you.

she’s a stupid cunt.

It’s the way her face has been architected.

Case in point: growing up in San Francisco, I would get home from school and look forward to afternoon delivery of The Examiner, due in part to columnists like Ratto, among other goodies (box scores, especially). When I heard the thwap of the paper hitting the front steps, it was a good moment.
