It occurs to me that the most mature, most humane, people involved in this whole tragic affair are the Maryland football players themselves. The tweets Barry included in his post show more maturity and depth of character than anything any of the so-called adults have said or done. Ellis McKennie’s parents should be…

I don’t think a lot of people outside of academia realize just how powerful Boards of Regents are—or what kind of people are usually on these boards. These aren’t generally academics or broad-minded philanthropists, but often right-wing businessmen and -women who have little interest in education per se.

Both chuck toys haphazardly around the field, yet fake-peter man gets thrown in jail while Nate Peterman is starting on Sunday. 

MD alum here — I hope all the players walk off the field or kneel on every play or just quit en masse. This is disgusting decision by the university. This is worse than what happened with Len Bias because he took those drugs himself. This was 100% on the coaches and they should have all been fired for allowing this to…

A coach has a BBQ at his house with recruits and the NCAA is all over it. A coach kills one of his players, and keeps his job.

I’ve really stopped liking them since I learned that anyone with a criminal past of any kind can’t be a member. The Church of Satan shouldn’t be fucking cops. Now he’s putting this up and trying to claim copyright of his design of an existing fictional mythical figure? Nah.

I don’t know if you’re interested, but somebody ran a simulation, and the results are uncannily real.

The statues are extremely similar to the point of I just assumed production people asked. The Satanic Temple’s is a bit nicer though.

The parallel to Islamic or Jewish fearmongering is really, really ill-considered and Greaves has no excuse to say something so foolish. The Satanic Temple is itself a modern parody of Satanism intended to make political and social points. Greaves has no sincere belief or fidelity to Satanism; he weaponizes its…

Silly as it sounds, he’s right. You either make a stink every time, or you run the risk of losing your copyright. Ask Jimmy Buffett.  

Naive high school students write this kind of drivel. I don’t goof on them because they are young and naive.

If everybody who did have an opinion column for the New York Times would stop writing opinion columns for the New York Times we’d have a much better New York Times.

how about everyone just go vote... we’d have a lot less republicans in office.  Thats what people should be thinking about.

Whats amazing to me is how shitty they are at this. 

I remember there had been rumblings of his behaviour for a while and I willfully ignored it as I was a massive fan of his stand-up and television work all the way from the beginning to Horace and Pete. One thing about the #MeToo movement is that it made me reflect on what I was prioritizing. It’s weird, but once I…

There’s almost 0% chance he’s put in front of some crowd that might boo and express their disgust towards him in other ways.

So, the president of “white guys with guns” will mark a massacre perpetrated by a white guy with guns by visiting white guys with guns…

A lot of the excuses are weak, but the fact that there are numerous states where employers do not have to legally allow their employers to vote during working hours is continually insane.

I have to admit, the best bit on the internet right now is Deadspin making Gruden’s face redder in the hero image for each subsequent article you post about him.

It’s almost as if Voter Suppression is a systemic problem that is trying to make an infinite apathy machine.
