Maher is just running his shtick, trying to be insensitive, in order to create outrage, in order to create some more relevance for his flagging, pathetic career. His M.O. is why he holds such high regard for Ann Coulter, (I had to type in “annoying conservative bitch with a huge Adam’s apple” into a search engine to…

So you just read a rightward pivot into a short segment with male hipster stereotypes?

I completely agree with you here, but reading what you read into comments based on “macho feminism” isn’t at all what I heard there. Rousey being pissed at a woman calling herself “The Man” is what it looks like to me. Some stereotypes used for hipster men that shun the stereotypical male personality may be in bad…

You’re talking about this like all the bouts aren’t entirely scripted.

It seemed to me to be more of a way to emasculate her rival and embrace her feminist bona fides without edging to close to homophobia, because of genuine anger towards the whole “the man” thing that she really has worked her whole life to shut down. I also think this is a set-up/drama building situation because, from…

“a move the promotion has made because it doesn’t want to alienate its heavily left-leaning, black, and Latinx fanbase”

I agree, and I won’t click it, but it seems kind of self-defeating since he doesn’t often write about baseball and people who will be clicking through are baseball fans... unless he’s retiring and this is his last piece, there won’t be any carry over...

Hard to watch Scherzer’s insane competitiveness and imagine anyone else getting the Cy, year in and year out. If it was an award for the pitcher who leaves everything he has on the field every start, he would.

both the Nats and Mets had some pretty awful weather this season, but it seemed like Scherzer pitched in the rain in like a third of his home games and some of his away games as well. It was Scherzer, so he did great most of the time, but it was incredibly frustrating as a fantasy owner.

I rent and the place came with one, but since I’m single, I almost never would be able to put together a whole load before they start getting really nasty, so I just do ‘em by hand as I use them.

“the rule ‘could make it difficult, as a practical matter, to raise taxes—on the rich—without making the tax code a complicated mess.’”

The ACA was a step in the right direction, but I’m not going to sit here and let someone tell me Pelosi is worthy of the title “progressive” because she was speaker when it passed... it was a huge cash cow for an already absurdly powerful and wealthy industry and massive handouts to monolithic special interests are…

Single-payer was never going to happen then. It’s still nearly a Sisyphean task now. Maybe in a decade or two...

I mean, yeah, it ain’t great, but IMO it’s better than giving him an executive cabinet post like Attorney General where he can make policy unilaterally like Sessions did.

Well, yeah, I definitely get that, that implies ownership.

Wow, really? HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I coulda sworn you’ve been around longer than a year, I guess that’s because you guys create so much entertaining content. Thanks, and keep it up!

Oh HELL no!

This was in the late 90's / early 2000's mostly... I’m in my late 30's. I’ve been an activist on the left for a couple decades now, and this is the first time I’m hearing an issue with this.

I’m seriously not trying to be a dick here, but this confuses me quite a bit...

Well said.
