Are you kidding me? From that article:

It’s not the loss to Canada, but the way the US played the whole tournament and the construction of the roster.

Yep. Among many, many other things.

That actually happened to me because of my mom. I had just gotten my license, and I was about to turn right on red. There was almost no traffic going the other way. The car in front of us goes and I inch up behind it, planning to look and then accelerate. As I’m about to go (there’s nobody coming), my mom yells at me…

I saw an interview with a high-ranking Iraqi official in 2005 or 2006, where he was asked about torture and indefinite detention going on in Iraqi prisons under his watch. His response was, They’re just part of having prisons. Everyone does it. Even America has Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo.

Rob Reiner?

Which is cool. As I see it, there’s a thin line between Deadspin’s political sports stuff and the Concourse’s straight political stuff, and, given the fate of Gawker, it’s one that I, as a consumer, am glad they crossed.

I get it, and it is a change, but Deadspin has always had cross-posts from other sites, and its own content has always been at least politically adjacent. The stuff about stadium funding; faux-militarism; the Cardinals’ aggressively awful, racist fans; athletes’ various protests all involve sports, but they’re also…

As a sports fan who finds the NFL pretty repulsive and reprehensible, I’m faced with a shit-ton of posts I don’t care about between July and February. I deal. So can you.

I few years ago I (born in 82) lived with a few roommates who were all born in 90-91, and it amazed me how much they were into pop culture from my childhood that they were barely alive for. There were the technological touchstones you mention, but those didn’t seem more significant than, say, between me and my cousin…

Except isn’t Gen X supposed to cut off in like 1976? My brother was born in 79 and I remember him complaining he wasn’t part of it.

I was born in 1982, and I have been grouped in Generation Y, the MTV Generation, the Millennial Generation, the 9/11 Generation, and now kinda nothing. Generational labels are bullshit, of course, but most 80s kids have never had a consistent one.

Yes. Mateen had more in common with Elliot Rodgers (the guy who shot up the sorority house in California) than Hezbollah, with which he claimed to be affiliated.

And Liz Lemon spent like a year only eating Sabor de Soledad, so we can assume (hope?) she wasn’t eating a lot.

The union for Customs and Border Enforcement officers has also endorsed Trump. Cause that’s what we need, the open embrace of xenophobia from the people who literally greet everyone entering our country.

I think the best part is Obama’s reaction to “Trump says he has a great relationship with the blacks, though unless the blacks are a family of white people, I’m guessing he’s mistaken.”

The Myers promotion was a little unexpected, but he was better than people think on SNL, and his White House Correspondents Dinner was amazing.

It’s true that population density has particular infrastructure challenges, especially when it comes to scaling. But in this regard sprawl is simpler, not better. Connecting spread out developments and subdivisions with roads, power lines, water mains, sewage systems, internet access, etc. is both expensive and bears…

I’m an adult. I have a fiancee, two advanced degrees and an IRA. I don’t, however, have a yard, because having a yard just seems like a fucking waste of everything.

Fuck off.
