They nearly handed OU the game when they missed Mason getting clocked in the face on a shot with :03 left in regulation.

Yeah, that was pretty ridiculous. On the other hand, they also missed an obvious foul when Kansas was attacking the basket at the end of regulation, then gave OU free throws on an over the back call that would have handed them the game.

Lucas went over the back, but before that, Mason was drilled in the face by a left forearm.

Anyone lucky enough to already follow @FauxPelini before this game was treated to a Twitter showing from another plane.

And the fact that they cast a trans woman makes me feel like someone up top went “Eh, they’re the same thing.”

Oh God I thought I was the only one who read Drood! Hello fellow suffering Drood reader!!

GRRM vs. Puppies delights me.

So we’re supposed to believe some guy saying that in 2013 who has a grudge against GRRM? I highly doubt it.

Dan Simmons, the whackjob wingnut author of “Flashback”? Gee, I wonder if he’d have any vaguely political reasons to smear Martin...

Yeah, Giants PR/NY Media are tripping over their own feet to try and justify that temper tantrum.
Tomorrow’s story: Panther equipment manager seen with water bottles; Odell feared waterboarding.

I actually like that io9 defines most spy movies as science fiction, largely because of the gadgetry involved. It’s not space opera or time travel, but it is the “Tomorrow AD” setting that SF sometimes uses. See also: Person of Interest.

Actually, the Star Wars titles are pretty damn literal.

If I could interject for a moment. Smith’s portrayal was far better later on, and with other writers handling him. You do yourself a disservice if you skip over ALL his stuff. Once he stops trying to be David Tennant, and relaxes into the role, he was utterly amazing. Here’s a taste of some of his better stuff. Not…

But if you hold of on actual news to maintain a relationship, you’re just an arm of their public relations department and not a journalist.
