I’m gonna get exposed to a flyover tonight and be asked to stand for the National Anthem even though I’m just there to watch a football game.

No. Nobody calls a Catholic/Orthodox/whatever who is okay with gays and abortion a “liberal Catholic/Orthodox.” They’re either straight up Catholics/Orthodox or not. In fact, the only major religion with officially defined “liberal” versus “conservative” tags are Jews. Either you’re reformist “liberal,” a…

I honestly cannot believe how much better the second series is, especially given how great the first one was.

USWNT better watch out the next time they have to face Madison Bumgarner.

Shut the fuck up. 

As a Bruins fan, GOD FUCKING DAMMIT. I’m so incensed about this. 

The 41 technicals were in the 2000-01 season. 

That ball spent so much time on the rim Derek Jeter just proposed to it

His father was an airline pilot.

“That’s it. I’ve had it with these Ryder Ringor snakes on this Jagger Firkus plane!”

I’m imagining Lauren walking into the GMG offices this morning and just casually chucking an octopus into the hallway.

The couple of gay millennial Muslims I knew in DC before I moved were the same way. They drank and engaged in premarital sex but still observed Ramadan and such. Demystifying contemporary Muslim lives, in America and elsewhere, and showing that their quotidian foibles are similar to non-Muslims (I don’t have to put on…

Totally agree. It depends on if you are looking at individual episodes or the flow of the story as a series. They keep getting better at making individual episodes. But they certainly have lost a step when it comes to making a great series.

I’m one of those people, and I don’t feel like it’s a kick in the dick at all (or in the vag for me, as it were). The show, on the whole, IS bad now, insofar as plotting goes. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t capable of brilliant episodes or character moments. The first 20 minutes of “Winds of Winter” is the best thing…

I really liked the Sparrows, the High Sparrow was able to verbally spar with the best of them. He has such a great scene with Olenna Tyrell in season 5, he’s basically like “you have no power over me. There’s nothing you have that I want, other than your submission and your humility”. I found him to be a really…

Took out Kobe and Shaq in 5 fucking games. 

I just looked up the 2004 Pistons roster. That was during a period when I wasn’t following the NBA closely but, wow, that was an anonymous cast for a championship team that took out Kobe and Shaq.

As a Pistons fan, I came here to make a similar comment. I’d personally take out the Bad Boys wins, since Bill, Isaiah, and Dumars are all HOFers, but the 04' team had literally one all-star (and it was almost completely based on his defense). It was also basically the last time I was happy as a Detroit sports fan. 

And the 04 team might very well end up being the only championship team without a Hall of Famer.
