You skipped the part about how he lived in abject poverty in a country that didn’t give a shit about him until he was tall and could shoot a basketball.

I don’t understand how someone so talented and accomplished can have such a fragile ego.  Dude, we all know you’re good; one of the best offensive talents the league as ever seen.  How you possibly could have thought people would embrace you for joining the best regular season team ever (the one that had literally…

No one has to approve of the guy to vote for him. They just have to dislike whoever the Dems run more than they dislike of him. So, with 35% actively approving of him, he’s probably in great shape; he just needs 16% of the remainder to see him as the lesser evil. 

I was watching, and in retrospect, I still find it hard to believe the Nets even scored more than two points in the first quarter.

Russian spending stole the election?/Mueller has proven it and even said so in the report. 

The media that Trump loves to hate got him elected. That A-hole is a media lizard like no other and he pulled billions in free advertising from them. He continues to do it again. Roy Cohn was right, it doesn’t matter what they say about you as long as your name stays out there. ABC and CNN are more than willing to get…

As a teacher, you should understand that cheap student debt is what allows for an elementary school or whatever to require a masters. If everyone can afford a masters with easy-to-get loans everyone will get them. When everyone has them your price goes down.

But if I didn’t get it, then I don’t want anyone else to get it.  [paraphrasing selfish assholes]

The Nets have spent the first four games of this series trying to catch the Celtics for biggest crybabies in the league. They were definitely getting the benefit of the doubt in general on foul calls throughout the game, and were terrible in transition D because they were too busy jawing at the refs to get back to the…

It was closer to a clean block than a flagrant

Most entertaining series in the first round, though that wasn’t a flagrant on Embiid. If you can’t swipe at the ball anymore...

It’s dumb and incredibly bitter. They are pretty honest about their struggles, which I think most people appreciate. I’d rather read about that than be forcefed some fairytale bullshit about how perfect everything is for them all the time. They are public figures... so, yeah. Sometimes these moments are public. Did…

Subject (and strange choice of target for scorn) aside, this isn’t even an article. There’s no through line, no theory, no point you ever get to. It’s just a collection of quotes from people with no underlying theme to hold it together. What was your conclusion after listening to all these interviews and podcasts?…

Bryce got $100m on that contract simply because he was on the cover of SI when he was 16. Never underestimate the power of marketing, even with people whose job it is to only look at productivity.

“Philly enters the playoffs with one of the league’s thinnest benches...”

Ummm... Snowden didn’t give anything to Wikileaks. He worked carefully with The Guardian to release information that was primarily about domestic spying programs. Are you sure you know who you’re talking about?

LOL, no.  They’re both the exact same amount of entitled and the exact same amount of white.  You just like one of them better.

Huffman flat out paid to have someone change her daughter’s test answers. How is that “well-intentioned”? There’s no artifice there, she’s just an old-fashioned cheater.

White guys in Rasta caps (especially the ones with fake dreadlocks) should be locked up
Also, the fucking Hart Foundation hadn’t been inducted until this year?!  What?

These are all fringe conspiracy theories that while fascinating, say a lot about people who know very little. The biggest and most destructive conspiracy theory of the decade is Russiagate, involving the wholesale adoption and promotion by nearly every mainstream news outlet. Rachel Maddow is now one of the biggest…
