FIBA just got fucked this year with circumstances. No one gives a fuck about the World Cup over the Olympics anyway, and then we saw several superstar players get hurt in the playoffs. After that, free agency created a league where you can make an argument for roughly 10-12 teams to make the Finals, so no one is…

Even beyond the music, everything about alternative sucks. Like you mentioned, every show is 6+ bands, 4 of which suck hard even in comparison to the rest of them who suck, and the headliner doesn’t go on until 11pm. 

I would argue at least half of Batman’s Rouges Gallery is nicer than Richie Incognito. 

This should surprise absolutely no one. If Robert Mueller is anything, he’s by the book. He was never going to say anything remotely exciting today. 

Wow everything in that article is a disaster.

What is it about Bella Thorne that compels every single media outlet to desperately try to make her a thing?

I wouldn’t call that a sure bet

Can confirm. This last year I still read all of the articles and analysis I usually do, listened to the podcasts, and followed my fantasy team as normal. But I only watched maaaaybe 15 minutes of football a week. It was brilliant. Would absolutely recommend doing it. 

Call me cynical, but 99.9% of people have a price. That’s just the sad reality of the world. 

I may just be cynical, but I don’t think it’ll solve the problem. It has been definitively proven people will buy season passes, pay for micro-transactions, etc. All of those things make these companies money. They’re not going to just stop doing them unless legislated to stop (which carries its own hazards and…

(As Laub tells it, there was no second round of barcode scanning at the actual seat. Maybe wealthy ticket holders find the practice offensive.)

Mirski - Geyser

Cyclops and Colossus coming at the end of August for free. Moon Knight, Blade, Punisher, and Morbius as the first paid DLC this fall. Fantastic Four and X-Men after that, but no specifics on who will be in the X-Men pack.

Maybe not the answer you’re looking for, but the honest answer is: literally never. That will literally never happen. 

Cosign on Mina and Clinton.

I had a co-worker (I work in entertainment) who was absolutely convinced on multiple occasions that Bella Thorne was about to become a star, that this project or that movie was going to launch her into the stratosphere.

This always strikes me as the saddest part of this argument. All of these people believe that work is supposed to be just fucking miserable and the only reason anyone would possibly want to do it is to be rich. It’s unfathomable to them that people could do work because it fulfills them and makes them happy. 

I don’t think they are, but Grimes has definitely gone from mostly good weird to mostly bad weird, and that entirely coincided with the beginning of that relationship. 

Man, every other part of this and every other sport has already been branded and advertised into oblivion, what’s one more patch on one more set of jerseys?

That is good and admirable, but it really just goes to show how impossible it is to boycott Amazon. The sites are plastered in their ads, and GMG itself uses AWS.
