Well, he works for Deadspin, it’s semi-viable (one can attempt to reverse-engineer how the game might have gone from clips/tweets/.gifs and then be relentlessly corrected in the comments)

If you’ve got an issue with that, blame Oprah. She’s the one who spearheaded this, and Harpo studies made it. The writers are the ones she and they chose to hire.

How is buying anonymized data from a third party (the same party that Lyft purchases data on Uber from) is screwing anybody over?

I get highly annoyed when white savior is wrongly thrown out as a critique of a story.

In that case, you should listen to the announcements and put your tiny backpack under the seat in front of you, because the overheads are for larger bags. I’ve heard that announcement on just about every flight I’ve been on in the last 5-10 years.

Man you’ve obvi never been to Dubai. or Beirut. or Cairo. Or Istanbul. That all have thriving fashion industies. But all arabs are the same, we’re all al-Qaeda. Yep.

Wow the biggest scandal here is HamNo trying to erase his ties to Florida.

When I say valiant, what I mean is “well, her heart was in the right place and she genuinely did what she thought was the right thing”.

“She didn’t have an agenda,”

Bullshit. The vast majority of false accusations are never reported.

She didn’t have an agenda, other than having an agenda. That’s not journalism, which you then even admitted yourself. Come on.

You’re right I do not, but

I don’t know how you can say there was no agenda when she (A) assumed they were guilty right off the bat (B) made zero effort to verify basic facts about the claims made and (C) lied about speaking to the people she then went on to use as sources in her piece.

Yes, it was believable, because things like gang rape do happen. A lot. A whole fuckton more than we want to believe. Look, it’s not good to assume guilt when the story is false, but it is also not true to assume innocence when the story is true. Both things happen.

How is her heart in the right place when she clearly had an agenda w/the piece and cherry picked things to fit the narrative she wanted rather than letting the facts show her the way? She did not bother to confirm simple details that should have immediately clued her in to the dubiousness of the claims. Again, there…

Right, but there’s a difference between (poor word choice ahead) run of the mill sexual assaults and an ongoing, annual ritualized gang rape. So no, the story wasn’t believable for a reason it was a cultural Rorschach test. For the people who believed the story whole cloth, it confirmed every bias they had against…

Is it really valiant of her to defend a person claiming something as serious as rape when she did so little research for the piece that she didn’t even check to see if the party that the alleged rape supposedly occurred at actually happened, didn’t interview any of the frat members, and apparently didn’t interview…

I totally agree but, man! Anna’s first response to Robby Soave’s comment must still be pretty embarrassing for her.

We’ve come a long way since “‘Is the UVA Rape Story a Gigantic Hoax?’ Asks Idiot.”

So let me make sure I have this straight, Ramos is mad because Cabrera celebrated hitting a three run walk-off in the eleventh inning that turned a likely loss into a win. There are very few more exciting things a hitter can do, and Ramos could have prevented it by pitching better. But Ramos feels Cabrera is the…
