“This fits well with his prior statements on the matter, where he called Daryl Morey “childish” for standing up for a cause”

I had to go too deep to find this!  This is spot on.  Other than some possible concern that they have players in country right now, the NBA totally underestimated its leverage in this moment.  And all they had to do was tell Morey/Houston/Harden et all to stop talking & just just stand behind the NBA statement of…

What Tsai wrote was deeply offensive, and he knows better. The idea that every Chinese citizen opposes separatism is bullshit (ignoring that “separatism” isn’t a major element of the protests to begin with). I lived in China for many years and my wife is Chinese as are many of my closest and dearest friends. As…

The NBA really misplayed this. If China is sincerely this afraid of one person within one organization, the NBA could have struck a much harder line and forced China to be the bad guy. You want to suspend all NBA access to all Chinese fans and escalate all of this dramatically just because someone in America said…

It was a group that Trump was too scummy for, but Jimmy Haslam wasn’t too scummy for. Really says a lot about the entire sordid enterprise.

“You know what this horrible, unfortunate situation needs?... Math.”

Isn’t there a difference between disliking something and actively trying to stop it? In the Chappelle and Seinfeld context isn’t that what cancel culture is, really? Going from I don’t like this thing therefore I’m not going to participate in it or consume it, to I don’t like this thing therefore it shouldn’t exist…

“If this act were to go through, all companies—big companies—would have to get a license to do business,” Varney exclaimed.

That invisible, self regulating free hand of the market is like a mother’s tender embrace..um..no.. wait. It’s not at all actually, more like a ravenous and rabid Hyena (author unknown).

“Won’t someone please think of the shareholders!”

Because they have convinced their base that Democrats and liberals are evil and out to destroy the country.  So they can always play the “we need to do whatever it takes to stop the libs from taking over our country” card, even if that means eroding away democracy.  It’s supremely messed up, but it’s just what they…

Maybe once upon a time.

For the record, I think it’s similarly funny that #filthymouthedwife is on this list. The reactionary right just can’t take a smack-down without a completely flaccid and desperate response.

They were probably going no-hitting and just conditioning anyway so walk through and whatnot can be done on basketball courts.  Our local school moves that stuff inside on occasion—we have a three court field house with a track and weight room attached.  It works pretty well.  

I see what you did there. +1 +2 point conversion.

I can’t believe the guy hocking a nutritional supplement pyramid scheme would support something that’s proven harmful by science. Weird. 

Aldon Smith is a bigger waste of talent. In 59 career games, he has 47.5 sacks, has been out of the league 4 years, and is still only 29. If he could have stayed away from the booze he would have over 100 career sacks at this point and would likely be playing on one of, if not the, largest contract in the league for a…

I feel like no matter how good I’ve become at fighting I’ll never invite someone to just take shots at me. The human body is fairly week against other human bodies so a good shot is still a good shot no matter how good you are at fighting...and hitting the ground after that good shot doesn’t get softer if you’re a…

Sloppy work. They omitted his loss to Shirtless Fat Hawaiian minutes earlier.

It is wind, hydro AND solar powered:
