Admittedly not a philanthropy expert, but the suggestion that you should give your money to the UN in order to avoid corruption and ensure that it will be spent well strikes me as hilarious.

I just think it’s a stupid form of protest. Sitting for the national anthem doesn’t persuade anyone and doesn’t draw positive attention to your cause. It’s kind of just a general middle finger to the country. He’s got every right to do that, but yeah, I think if he had done a thoughtful interview, article, spoke at a…

I’m glad U of C is laying their cards on the table. They are making it clear to students what type of college experience they want to provide. If you want safe spaces and trigger warnings, there are plenty of other universities to choose from. But some of us think that you can fix problems and make progress by…

Disagree. I love what U of C did. They are making it clear to students what type of college experience they want to provide. If you want safe spaces and trigger warnings, there are plenty of other universities to choose from. But some of us think that you can fix problems and make progress by allowing for free speech…

Fuck this headline. I hate that I clicked on it. If I had three wishes, 2 of them would be to unclick this article, and the third would be wake up on November 9 so this could all be over with one way or another.

Why would they lie? The only motive I can imagine is they needed to make up an excuse for why they were out late, and so they invented a story about getting mugged. Doesn’t seem like they were asking to be compensated for the robbery or planning to sue somebody for damages. Why make up the story?

patriotic sports fandom is a not-so-distant cousin to poisonous nationalism

These endorsements aren’t pulling her to the right. She’s didn’t make any policy concession to get Meg Whitman’s support; she’s only getting them because people can’t in good conscience back Trump. Everyone tacks to the center during the general election - that’s where the votes are. But Meg Whitman isn’t going to…

Underrated: Dilbert, Non Sequitur

I agree. But the person he’s running against isn’t far behind. I wanted to use one device instead of two? How can that be described as anything besides a deliberate lie (easily exposed)? And then the wave of lies that followed.

your backup options are Kellen Moore, seen here auditioning for the lead role in Simple Jack 2

Hell no. More white people are Tiger fans than Phil fans by a huge margin and that was always the case. How many people really hate Tiger versus really hate Phil? It’s not even close. I personally hoped that Phil never won a tournament. Watching him choke was one of the great joys of sports.

Sale is clearly a lunatic, but Robin has to be fired and they should blow up the front office as well. It’s a joke. Reinsdorf is loyal to a fault especially when it comes to ex-players (just look at Hoiberg, Paxson, and Forman on the Bulls). Meanwhile the WS winner they wouldn’t even interview has the Indians in first…

The NBA is free to move their All-Star game wherever they want for whatever reason they want. However, this strikes me as an example of low risk political grandstanding. Holding a basketball game in a state doesn’t mean you support every law in that state. If it does, I’d love to hear the NBA explain all the…

Schumer is going to be the majority leader without question. She is absolutely not qualified to be Fed Reserve Chairwoman (that goes to economists with PhDs). I don’t think she’d want to be Treasury Secretary. I think she’s going to stay where she is for now, and wait for 2020/2024

Thanks Diana. I’d almost forgotten that everyone is first, second, and third just their race and sexual orientation. Experiences, skills, talents, beliefs, they’re all just faint background noise to what’s really important: the skin color and sexual preference you were born with. I just hope that someday we’ll get to…

...following the targeted murder of 5 cops in Dallas? Does that not factor into the context here?

Dude it’s a picture of someone beheading a cop. Don’t think this falls into the “easily butthurt” category. Imagine any other profession in this picture (teacher, janitor, electrician, fireman, judge, construction worker, etc) and the reaction that group would have to this image.

That’s some ignorant ignorant shit

Why not just change the rule to give the team the option of keeping the ball rather than taking the FTs? The foul would still count, but you couldn’t make Drummond shoot 12 free throws in a row unless the Pistons wanted him on the line (and he should get on the line more if only to practice, because I came nowhere…
