Came here to say this.  I had to watch those first three multiple times, in slow motion, to tell if the runner was out or not.  The last one was indefensible.  

Are you guys really gonna make me defend Angel Hernandez? Those first three were close as shit. Of course, no defending the last one.

Once, years ago, I actually had a student slice my tires after I had them read Swift’s “Modest Proposal,” because they literally thought I wanted them to eat babies.

There is very, very little accounting for education in criticism anymore. I know how much of an asshole that makes me sound, but I don’t much care; every…

The dynamic isn’t all that different though - the power rests almost entirely on one side. Given the hoops a rape accuser has to jump through in a criminal justice system that’s simply not able or willing to properly handle sex crimes, money for restitution vs pressing charges doesn’t even feel like a choice. At least…

Obviously, there’s a big difference in results between a weapon that can kill and a written document. I’m talking about the front end — instead of intimidating a witness by threatening to kill (and unambiguously open yourself to further criminal liability), intimidate them to sign a contract to take your money. They…

I thought it was funny, and low key complimentary. He’s kind of a massively self critical , self deprecating guy.

I read the Der Speigel article with some interest because one of the subheadlines I saw mentioned something about her NDA being voidable.

I’m not a fancy, BMW-drivin’ law-talkin’ guy but I don’t think people should be allowed to pay accusers of felonies to not press charges or speak to anyone about it. Wouldn’t that be witness tampering if this was, say, murder?

What I haven’t read or seen mentioned is that Osaka handed the next game to Serena by purposefully whiffing on four straight points! So the docked game was evened up, and then she turned around and smoked her in the next deciding game.

Yeah, calling an official a “thief” is so much worse than saying “are you blind” or something. She’s accusing him of being unethical, which...pretty bad look. 

Careful with the comma outside the quotes. You’ll give yourself away.

I wanted to like it.

Bingo. As a potential employer, it is my right to know who I am employing. Once I have that information, it is up to me to make the decision to continue the process. As long as I (as the hiring authority) does not violate any employment laws as it relates to one’s gender, race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, etc.;…

They are not to the point, and just repeating them doesn’t help make them so. The Lions didn’t need a third party to tell them about the indictment. Even if the rules say the third party couldn’t go back more than 7 years, the Lions should’ve known that because a lot can happen in the years prior to 2011, and somebody…

It’s your selective use of the EEOC verbiage that is the problem, although I really can’t tell if you’re saying the Lions weren’t allowed to know about the indictment, or if you’re saying they couldn’t consider the indictment because there was no conviction, or if you’re saying they shouldn’t consider the indictment…
