So you completely messed up but won’t to blame it on American. First, you failed to verify the date of the wedding. You purchased the cheapest seat on a third party site, but failed to read the details. I fly American often, the difference between the economy and budget seats isn’t usually very much at least not…

I was sympathetic until I got to this:

Ok, so. I have some actual industry input here. My husband works for a record label, and I’ve had a couple of very small recording contracts.

Actually, bars, restaurants, and other public places have LONG had to pay annual licenses for the rights to play music in them, going back to the 1940s and ‘50s. Essentially, it’s seen that the music is being played as a means to increase the attractiveness of your business to customers - in other words, the music…

these two ladies seem like characters cut from a sketch show which specifically makes fun of Brooklyn and how annoying New Yorkers are

while i do not anticipate it happening, it would be a wonderful silver lining to see the looks on the faces of all the Warren true believers the split second the Third Way hacks realize they don’t need her as a bulwark against Sanders anymore.

That theory might actually have merit...until one asks oneself how many white mass murderers have been captured without a mark on them.

Police should not be issued firearms.

fellow Russian here: people forget that Russia, and later the USSR, was an imperialistic colonizing nation. Russia is very multicultural, but westerners, especially people in the US, don’t think so because there were very few people who would be considered “people of color” by modern American standards. Also, people…

as a russian who has lived in the states for a very long time, even in int’l places americans aren’t super aware of that much, esp regarding russia.

The podcast about the show does a really good job of breaking down the things they had to compress/change and the things that are pretty true to life.

This is noted in Higginbotham excerpt.

It does raise a concern about the slippery slope of manufacturing news stories. You rightfully acknowledge you can’t assign ill intent because you don’t know the context. Does writing an article that boils down to “people assume someone meant something, they responded they didn’t mean that, and no one has context to…

It makes no sense to get upset over imagery in a work of fiction until you know in what context the imagery is being used. Also, a depiction of a fictionalized world is likely to contain portrayals of real bigotry, especially one set in this universe, so it’s not appropriate to assume that just because bigotry is…

This story has been a great reminder of why internet debate is often so awful.

I’m surprised the U.S. players haven’t responded to the criticism by just saying the same thing louder and slower.

Nobody’s calling the American’s dicks because they scored too much.

You’re right, the issue of showboating and gloating is never brought up in the context of men’s professionalsports.

Yeah, not to be all “think of the children” but I agree the USWNT are held up deservedly as role models. Massive blowouts are pretty common in youth sports, and I’m not sure it’s the right message to be sending.

Millenial liberals (like Tynes) have made Twitter call-outs into their own official channels. When people started a campaign to get Tynes’ publisher to drop her, how do you think they did so? On Twitter.
