FFS, seriously. I know Jezebel’s writers generally have problems grasping the nuances of legal procedure, which is understandable, but why is it so difficult to fact check something as blatant and critical as the meaning and procedure of a stay order before misleading unaware readers? Frankly, it’s unacceptable.

Actually, services like Pandora are more analogous to radio. Because Spotify is classified as on-demand, i.e. the user has full control over what plays, it’s classified differently than Pandora and other services, where the user is effectively selecting a station but the songs on the radio station are controlled by…

A lot for a Friday; in truth, a lot for any day, but necessary. In a certain manner, being wrong to unreservedly support the initial story from Rolling Stone shows in the article above, and in a beneficial way. I think in general, although the dogma that we have to believe sexual assault victims unreservedly stems…

Yes, the raw data is buried in the results section and requires time and skill to parse, but there is clear statement in the introduction that should have caused a pause. And wouldn’t the primary source be the study itself, not another blogger writing about the article?

Never did. Not starting now. But keep thinking that if you want. Wouldn’t expect you to start comprehending at this point in the conversation. Cheers.

Hey!—some of those stories are 100% correct all of the time. In other news, I’m going Tuck Everlasting on this world.

Internet commenter misses/ignores the point. Film at 11.

I’m reminded of the headlines when the scientists at CERN responded to a question about the possibility of causing the universe to collapse by saying that although they could not be certain (because that’s how science works) the possibility was effectively infinitesimal. Guess which part of the statement…

Well, it is kinda her fault, considering the fact that the study identifies “significant heterogeneity” in the introduction, and in language that doesn’t require statistical fluency to comprehend the basic point. I don’t think asking for five minutes to check whether your article is actually supported by the study…

“Smith has a point, but he’s far from the first one to make it, and certainly is the least eloquent one to do so.”

Sadly, you’re fighting a losing battle attempting to push writers into reading the actual study they’re writing an article about, especially when it’s so much easier to aggregate a headline and text from another site that likewise neglected to read the actual journal paper. I mean at least read the introduction to…

That’s fine. I have no idea what happened, so I’ll reserve my judgement, but I have no objection to your looking at past actions and thinking he likely is abusive. But that wasn’t your original statement, and I was just noting the illogic of your original statement. Unless there is some incompatibility with someone…

Actually, Kobe had played about 40 more playoff games at that point. Jordan played about 100 at NC.

Why do you believe he’s abusive? Because the racist said he was? Give me a fucking break.

Using the Heat retiring Jordan’s number for any reason other than as fodder for an insult about the Heat is not a hill you should die on.

Jordan’s two seasons with the Wizards were his 14th and 15th seasons, crediting the 17 games he played in 94-95 as a season. He averaged 21.2ppg with a TS& of .480. Very solid considering his age, and coming back from three years off.

“Laude, nervous that Pemberton might discover the girls were trans because Gelviro didn’t have implants, quickly agreed to the lower rate and rushed her friend out of the room.”

I’d imagine that “treachery” and “cruelty” are broadly analogous to “malice aforethought” in U.S. law. And given the length of penalty and the fact that “homicide” is a lesser charge than murder, I’d also guess that “homicide” is roughly equivalent to voluntary manslaughter, which could carry a similar sentence in…

“At Ambyanz Night Life, the men found what some of them had been looking for that night. The club was a frequent hangout for sex workers known as Pocahontases—a riff on pok-pok, a Tagalog term for slut, which also alludes to the former colonizers who often patronize them. The most dogged of these women—those who…

Amusing that the #1 dunk in the first video—the alley-oop against Portland, is made possible by Bryant just casually brushing past Pippen into the lane and then tossing a perfect lob to Shaq for the finish. Given the purpose of the post, of course.
