I forget the exact name, but a four person grand prix race on the freeway track in Mario Kart 64 was always beautiful chaos if you ran in special cc so you were driving against traffic. Few things were more satisfying than bumping your friend directly in front on an oncoming 18wheeler and watching him get trucked as…

Also, light skin.

The Patent and Trademark Office’s restriction on disparaging terms falls under the guise of “government speech,” which is held to a different standard than regular free speech allowances.

Only Barcelona could have so many players clutch their heads after a half filled water bottle hits them in the arms.

The other part of the rule is basically that you can’t step towards home and throw over to first. That’s interpreted as being a 45 degree angle - land on the first base side of that imaginary line and you’re find. Which is what it looks like Urias did.

I’d just like to point out that i hated the Giants and found their fans generally insufferable since before it was cool.

I can see them as both, but anyone who sees them as one but not the other is also correct, and entitled to that opinion. But calling a person “stupid” and “arrogant” simply for believing one of those variations, and acting accordingly, runs close to an opinion propely considered as “some dumb shit.”

“[M]uch linguistic expression serves a dual communicative function: it conveys not only ideas capable of relatively precise, detached explication, but otherwise inexpressible emotions as well. In fact, words are often chosen as much for their emotive as their cognitive force.” Cohen v. California.

This is a fantastic point. What if she is Elena Ferrante?

Yeah, bro, I follow. So, you’re saying that not every situation is exactly identical to all other situation? Wow, blowing my mind here. What insight. And Patrick Redford isn’t the same person as Hamilton Nolan? Well, shit, that’s some new information that I couldn’t have seen coming.

What if the accuser is the real Elena Ferrante?

No, I won’t. As we were informed yesterday, the decision of what is newsworthy is determined by a) the public wanting to know or b) the particlaur journalist/news org deciding it’s newsworthy. Here, the first is met, so it’s only not newsworthy because Deadspin doesn’t think it is. But that conclusion conflicts with…

“The very general proposition of journalism is this: The public has a right to know true things that are important to the public. It is the job of journalists to supply the public with these true things. This broad idea applies in practice not just to the goings-on of government, but to crime, and business, and…

Well, actually, facts and evidence can be completely repetitive and add exactly nothing to what is already known. Fact is spelled fact. That’s a fact that adds no knowledge. So your definition is wrong, which is a fact, which hopefully did add to your knowledge about the relationship between facts and evidence and…

Why hello there, 19th Century understanding of privacy interests.

And your privacy interest goes beyond the outdated notion of it being your interest in keeping prying eyes away from your private life. More modern notions understand that privacy also entails a freedom to present yourself to the world in the manner in which you choose. By venturing into public, we make certain…

You keep juxtaposing two different things, but not giving any reasoning as to why one is of interest to the public and the other is not.

She made the decision that knowing her identity would negatively affect the understanding or her art, or at least how she wanted her art to be understood. The issue is not which view is, for lack of a better word, “correct,” but who gets to decide whether the facts revealed are important enough to justify the invasion…

It doesn’t matter whether I think there is a difference or not, you are the one who is claiming a right to make public the one and not the other. So I’m asking how you decide one matters and the other doesn’t, without begging the question.
