Trump ... defined “fake news” as a story with unnamed sources.

I said a long time ago - Uber has two things: a really good app, and a willingness to give regulation the finger. Those are short-run advantages in a technologically backward industry that everyone basically hates anyway. In the long run, other companies will catch up on the technology, and enforcement (public and…

This is good trolling. You took a non sequitur, threw in a pointless insult, and spawned dozens and dozens of heated, argumentative replies without ever coming back to defend your original point, if you actually had one. Kudos, I guess?

Sure, all that stuff (although Austin was legitimately good in this game); but the two biggest factors were the Warriors’ defense, which was smothering in the 3rd and got them out in transition a bunch; and the fact that Durant and Curry couldn’t miss in the quarter.

he just comes across as a pompous asshole

What’s so bizarre about Sommer’s shitty article is that he comes around, at the end, to pointing out that progressive taxation (which we don’t really have!) is a good thing. Hey Jeff, you do know that progressive taxation is, literally, taking richer people’s money and giving it to poorer people, right?

In unrelated news, Luke Walton’s attorney just published a law review article arguing that a contract is voidable in supernatural circumstances, a doctrine he calls “Rescission Due To Unforeseen Magic.”

HamNo: never not the curmudgeonly contrarian.

I am interested to learn more but at first blush McMaster seems like a really good, mature choice, which is disorienting.

What he is saying in that quote, specifically, is that sex between a creepy old dude and an adolescent is not pedophilia. He is right about that. What he goes on to say is that he thinks some kids, at the age of 13, are mature enough to consent to sex with creepy old dudes because they have working sex bits. He is…

to paraphrase David Brooks - to call anyone in the Trump white house “average” or “middling” is to slander the average and middling.

I don’t disagree with your overall point Kellyanne, but Vallejo is 60 miles from Sacramento.

There’s also no sense in the Kings completing the trade now instead of waiting until the deadline.

the greatest and most patriotic thing Twitter could do would be to suspend his personal account all operations immediately.

This is so awful I can’t even bring myself to make the obvious hypothermia-ICE joke.

They don’t give a shit. America first baby. A cop is basically motivated by one thing - make the streets where my children walk to school safer. That means removing the dirtbags, by whatever means available. That is how they divide up the world - good people and dirtbags - and the shit they see in their jobs makes it…

You know this is actually going on now, right? And you know that even before these fucking maniacs took control and turned ICE into a no-holds-barred goon squad, angry domestic partners had plenty of incentive to make false or exaggerated claims of abuse? At least before, an alleged victim knew that he or she might…

Why not both?
