And I’m suggesting he has merely reversed that hypocritical double standard.

There are much, much better ways to phrase this. Saying it was an inevitable outcome given how the US has intervened in the middle east is a lot different than implying that the 3,000ish people who died on 9/11 “deserved it”.  I wonder if he’d say that Imperial Japan “deserved” Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Hoffman’s said his annoyance was genuine, and he had to catch himself from saying “Hey, I’m acting here!”

They had a random TV talking head in as a referee in a preseason game a few years ago.  They gave him a day or two of training, sure, but the fact that they did it at all tells you that nobody involved in these preseason games has give na damn for awhile.

-1 - you announced your name and intention to speak, but failed to inform us what you appreciate “in a major way”.

Taco Bell doesn’t really get meaningfully spicy until the “Diablo” sauce; their “Volcano” items have some nontrivial heat too. As for the rest of it...I’m going to guess that you still finished that burrito and whatever you hit with Fire sauce. For someone who can’t handle even that modest level of heat, it would have…

Place is Bennett’s. They left their downtown location in 2007, but are apparently still doing “Smut & Eggs” to this day.

“Finding a good kicker is just as hard as finding a good Quarterback”

You don’t? It’s simple - animals have no agency. You can project whatever you want on them, and you never have to worry that they’ll contradict you or disappoint you. Treating people properly requires you respect their autonomy, and allow them to do things you may not want them to do - animals don’t have that issue.

I get the feeling that the real money left dog racing a decade (or more) ago, and that the people who’ve stayed on since are the ones who love the sport and love the dogs. I bet Kelly’s numbers and sense of business practices is an accurate picture of how things *were*, but not anymore.

I want to know what person had some tomato juice and said “You know what this needs?  Clam water!”

It tastes like barely anything.  If LaCroix made a “beer” flavor, it would be this.

I do think it’s somewhat unfortunate that this ad was for the weakest of the American macrobrews.  (I say this with the authority of someone who hates beer, but doesn’t mind Coors Light.)

It may not be how it’s supposed to be used...but untethered and floating free is how they advertised it.

The videos, though, are surprisingly wildlife-focused.

...depending on the ending you got.  And the sequels (obviously) rendered that ending non-canon.

Bingo.  They’re not going to cave until they’re reminded why they partnered with Marvel in the first place.

Wait, I thought he already located a 9-year old version of his helmet, and it was tested by the NFL and rejected? I’m so confused.

The problem is that as soon as you “charge them money”...they leave, and instead follow any of the myriad other sites that don’t. I *suspect* this would be true even if the vast majority of professional writers required people pay for their work - this was my initial (vaguely phrased) idea. But we’re not anywhere near…

Thing is, the AV Club is free *for me*.  And attempts to turn pageviews into revenue using the old advertiser model have turned into a rolling skirmish involving Adblock, “pivot to video”, and a lot of media concerns changing hands with distressing frequency.  People are indeed interested in curated, high-quality…
