Nonsense. The Ports of Rotterdam and Shanghai both experienced massive labor strikes just within the last few years. Automation and labor conflict in shipping are international trends.

Utter nonsense. The Ports of Rotterdam and Shanghai both experienced massive labor strikes just within the last few years.

This seems less a tale of the NFL's mismanagement (how is that a new story?) than of ESPN's InfoWars-esque reporting, which has been a thing to behold.

Gawker Media's decided to forget all about Anita Sarkeesian, I see.

but wait! Fred Armisen Has a Reputation!

Can I humbly submit, this is why Spygate is bogus. There are literally thousands of cameras and sound recorders running in these stadiums before, during and after the game. It's all part of the product.

John Boorman got it right, except in the editing of his otherwise magnificent 1981 "Excalibur." The King Arthur story requires total, unflinching commitment to Wagnerian bombast. And green lasers.

I mean, the idea that the Seahawks needed to burn up clock does make sense to me. If they go up 31-28 with 30 seconds to play, it's not such a great situation for them. The Pats offense can likely get to within FG range in that span of time.

I can totally see why Kobe got more ASG votes than this guy.

Or how about dropping a bomb in a rural area outside Tokyo? Or in Tokyo harbor? How about a warning to the residents of Nagasaki to evacuate the city? How about waiting more than a mere 3 days to let the destruction of Hiroshima sink in?

I do know about those things, which are really awful. As bad, perhaps, as the genocide of millions of Native Americans as well as millions of Vietnamese. But I don't think these latter atrocities in and of themselves would justify the detonation of nuclear bombs in Houston and Miami — do you?

How about, US gives Japan a better energy trade deal during 1920 and 30s, so Japanese industrialists aren't forced to embrace a policy of territorial expansionism in the first place?

Why is it always assumed, though (by American apologists), that it was better to drop two nuclear bombs on hundreds of thousands of people than to "negotiate" (which would likely mean Japanese surrender, but no US occupation of the country)? I don't see how the latter presents a darker evil.

Perhaps, if Japan was so hard to occupy, it would have made more sense to simply surround and neuter it, using air surveillance to make sure they weren't re-arming, using "soft power" to help the Hirohito get his warlord ministers out of power.

Asian elephants are *much* more endangered than African elephants. There are only 45,000 left in the wild, 15,000 in captive state. That's it.
I don't want to distract from the plight of the African species at all, but the fact is that Asian elephants are in a far more vulnerable condition and are much likelier to…

The proposed rules seem fine, but the the university's timing is self-defeating. The frats will always associate these new rules with "that discredited Rolling Stone article" — and will thus see the rules themselves as discredited. If the idea is to get the frats to "buy in" to improved safety measures at parties,…

Perrrrmafrost, Eli!

Anyone remember Sex and the City 2?

Hard to see why we'd have no "strategic interest" in Nigeria, a massively populous, oil-rich nation.

No phone is worth this.
