Eh, posting things to a locked, private social media account restricted to trusted friends and family is not meaningfully different from sending an email to a private mailing list, or just talking to a group of close associates around a dinner table. It’s fine to expect those people to keep what they hear private, and…

You can’t actually see the hand shake. And Mayfield does seem to wiggle his hands a bit at the end. It could easily be a hand slap rather than an actual shake.

$10 for a jar of marinara? Must be nice being part of the 1%

People who love cooking are really bad at imagining there are people who don’t love cooking.

I know the liberal PC police SJWswill attack me here, but I personally won’t vote for a candidate who refuses to do something about California bordering Mexico. That shit is just unacceptable. Make Ohio do it.

Also, the idea that a governor can just end homelessness with the flourish of his quill is patently absurd.

Markus Not Many, my man, my dude, let me lay it out for you, a governor can actually address two issues at once. Addressing NCAA player pay, does not exclude him from “figuring out homelessness.” Just like you can both manage to coach men’s basketball, and find time to make galaxy brain political takes. 

Completely apart from the moral principles of the situation, I really think Silver needs to double down and tell the Chinese to go fuck themselves. The NBA is obviously the best professional basketball league in the world, and by an enormous margin. Silver has real leverage because he has a monopoly on the product…

People think this guy is a genius because he “came up” with the ideas of “what if cars had batteries” and “space is cool”. He doesn’t do anything but fund actual smart people in these endeavors. What he, and other people like him, are actually good at is manipulation. He manipulates his employees into believing he’s…

Luke-warm take: It’s ok to be annoyed if a guy refuses to shake your hand before the game.

I think Bosa’s attitude had less to do with old college grudges than with the well known fact he just hates the browns. 

Ok, I know that this shouldn’t be funny and I shouldn’t be laughing at this, but the absolute absurdity of bouncing the ball off the defenders forehead is delightful to me. Who the fuck does that? The expression on Anderson’s face in the slo-mo replay is priceless. Happy birthday to me.

Since this is obviously a made up story, in order to make it easier for everyone else to separate fact from fiction here, I’ve taken the liberty of going through the entire article and highlighting the things that are obviously make believe so readers coming after me can focus on the aspects of the article that may be…

I disagree, but even if we take what you’re saying as truth, then you don’t get to simultaneously prevent your employees from expressing their personal beliefs. Doing so is inherently taking a political stance for your organization.

Supporting the status quo is literally taking a conservative position.

We have this weird thing (it’s most pronounced in America, but true the world over) in which supporting the status quo isn’t really viewed as taking any sort of political position whatsoever.

Not that this idea is new or anything, but one more time for the people in the back: stating that you are not / don’t want to be political is very much taking a political position.

You’re hearing this more and more these days

I’ve heard Dabo mentioned for the Washington job, I think that would be a solid hire...

Took a woman on a date to see this at the Angelika in NYC, way back when it came out. Good point: even though lots of people left, she stayed with it to the end. Bad point: she never spoke to me again. :)
