The sentence clearly is supposed to mean something like “even with the deterioration of the rest of the squad, Argentina’s five best [active] strikers are better than the best five of any other country.” I know Billy is not the world’s clearest writer, but I can’t imagine how anyone would read this to mean something…

Little known fact but “joking” is slang for doing cocaine.

You have no problem with victims being outted without their consent? Well, that really sucks for you.

These men can FUCK OFF!

It’s trendy to bash Kipling these days. As you know, he had great affection and respect for the various cultures of India. This is Mabbub Ali, an Afghan horse trader (and a Muslim), speaking to Kim, and Irish orphan. If there is a more moving expression of fraternal love in English literature, I am not aware of it:

Thanks for your reply. I don’t want to be a pedant about this BUT:

Yeah you should probably look at academic writing to get a real understanding of Kipling’s work and the history.

Thanks for the reply. I asked about passages from the Jungle Book that are racist and you quote White Man’s Burden, which distills the type of racist Kipling was: a defacto anglo-supremacist who thought the English speaking world was more advanced than others so had an obligation to help them. In essence he was a…

Yes, Kipling - the fellow that wrote “There is neither East nor West, nor border, breed nor birth/ When two brave men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the Earth”. Doesn’t get much more colonial and racist than that.

A few years ago, when people in Connecticut kept claiming to see a mountain lion, and everyone made fun of them until one was actually hit and killed by a car, my husband made the mistake of googling “Greenwich cougar” to find out more. Never again.

When’s the last time you read it? Because it’s pretty scant on colonial rhetoric or commentary in general. Be specific if you have criticisms.

Have you ever been attacked by a house cat? Cats don’t fight fair.

If the cougar attacks, fight back aggressively and try to stay on your feet. Cougars have been driven away by people who have fought back.

A crying emoji in a tweet from an actual news station in a story about someone dying violently just seems so incredibly grotesque.

Ant Man
Captain America Winter Soldier
Captain America The First Avenger
Thor: Ragnarok
The Avengers
Fuck, even Age of Ultron and The Incredible Hulk.

I would rather watch that god awful Fan4stic movie again then have to watch two hours of people rooting for the Most Garbage Human in the MCU, Peter Quill.

I enjoy Gamora and…

So, filling the park with humans to kill and rape in OG Westworld is fine but those ethnically same people killing and raping in Shogun world would be racist?

Patriots owner Robert Kraft, of all people, and 76ers owner Michael Rubin visited Meek Mill in Pennsylvania prison today, where the Philly rapper is currently serving time for a probation violation. Kraft talked to the media afterward and—if you adjust your standards for his wealth, age, and race— actually made a…

That’s not a banana you dipshit.
