“Nice to see him get from the beach here to the ballpark...”

Is it *really* hard to understand why Lebron would be annoyed that the GM got canned days before the draft?
Is it *really* hard to see that as a symptom of larger organizational dysfunction, and not the only thing going wrong?
I think what Lebron wants is competent decision makers in the FO.

These are the questions that the reader of this column is forced to ask. Who is the audience for this?

Whenever I find myself getting annoyed at these bizarrely uptight assholes who judge others for chewing gum (of all the damn things), I just remember that they’re also the kind of people who think things are “classy” and “low class.” ...And then I smile smugly to myself.

You’re not trying to shutdown discussion, just asking questions to redirect the discussion towards irrelevant shit that doesn’t involved criticizing white institutions for their abuse of POC.

Black people talk about crime within their own communities constantly. You don’t hear about it because it’s a problem that doesn’t effect or involve you, and that you only care about when you need a false equivalency to shutdown discussions about police brutality and racism.

Goddamn. Typo in a joke about how dumb Missourians are. Jesus. “Southern” not “souther”.

Go to Iowa City (the supposed liberal capital of Iowa) and try to be anything other than a rich, white liberal.

Slightly off topic, but it’s one of my favorite fun facts that portmanteau is itself a portmanteau — from the French porter (to carry) and manteau (coat, or cloak). It makes me unreasonably happy.

Dear Sir,

And this one OMG.

Wonder Woman Is Awesome!

I’m old and didn’t know most of the songs, but Ariana impressed the hell out of me for being so present and engaged throughout the entire show. I could see how much it meant to the people in the audience. Lovely, all around. (And I got a kick out of her and Miley singing the sublime “Don’t Dream It’s Over”.)

Yeah at first glance I was like, Frye? A boot festival? OK...

Also, dating another person isn’t about “having” who you want, it’s about spending time with someone and building a relationship that satisfies you both.

That’s amazing! Congratulations! My brag for the week is that my trainer has decided I will no longer use weight machines—I officially have enough strength and good form to use bodyweights and free weights ONLY! I’ve been working out with her since February, and it feels so good to know I’m really making progress.

When you thought this was your Cindy Crawford moment but you fucked up and everyone hates you because you don’t read the news.

That shot was such a relief to see, because boy was that flagrant foul call terrible.

“The ceiling?”

As a Kentucky fan, I thought the officiating was shitty on both sides. Ironically, I think the choppy nature of the first half due to fouls probably saved UK from being down 12 or 15 rather than the 5 point deficit we had at half. Carolina looked ready to run.
