The truth is always an absolute defense to defamation, whether it be libel or slander, except in unusual cases where it relates to the public publication of private facts. Dude must have money to burn because he’s going to end up paying not only for his attorneys fees but for the fees of the newspaper when he…

Well shit, that’s a thing I didn’t know. Guess it doesn’t matter how gorgeous and nice it is if it sucks to watch a game there because you baste in your own juices. That’s a bad look for that stadium developer. 

I was at Coney Island over the summer and I had a corndog and a hot dog at Nathan’s, and while I found the hot dog to be pretty decent, the corn dog was something special, and I love corn dogs. I’m not saying that every time I’m in NYC I’ll make a special trip for one, but it’s hard to see me ever being at Coney…

It sounds like building this new ballpark is the functional equivalent of throwing out your new pair of sneakers just as they are starting to get comfortable and broken in. Hope they didn’t shake down the taxpayers to fund it.

As an african-american who attended an almost 100% white elite east coast boarding school I am intimately familiar with the feelings of inadequacy that derive from being considered as “other”, although I admit to being slightly jealous of the brown people who were not black because in my eyes the otherness they…

Taking a stance against “snitching” is all well and good until it is your car that is stolen, your parent that is murdered or your child that is raped, and then where are you? Your only choices in those situations are self-help retribution, which can get you throw in prison or worse, or just sucking it up and dealing…

I still can’t believe my mom and dad let their nine year old black son watch that show about two white dudes driving a car in Georgia with a Confederate flag emblazoned on it. Shit, I even had the Dukes of Hazzard RC car set, complete with The Impossible Jump. I suppose in their defense it was just harmless, mindless…

Nah, didn’t go to Choate; went to the Gunnery and a tiny jr. boarding school before that in Lakeville, which is where the Action Park conversations happened. We did play Choate in sports.

Yeah, being the one to let Oprah die before she’s 80 because of pneumonia probably wouldn’t be the best of looks as EVERYONE would know you as the Doctor Who Let Oprah Die. I may not be in my 60's but I am in my late 40's and I can tell you that taking what seems to be small things for granted can have dire…

Not a native New Englander but went to boarding school in CT with a couple of Jersey kids who would speak in rapturous tones about the miracle that was Action Park and how it was the best place ever (this was 1983-86). I tried to convince my uncle to take us but never got to go. Reading all of these stories about how…

The smartphone for seniors!! +1

Remember the time President Obama wore a tan suit? I see parallels here. Whole lotta noise about nothing.

I’ll just leave this here.

My wife and I have this argument all. of. the. time. She’s a Kraft Fake Cheese fan, and I prefer parmesan reggiano. However, as you pointed out it’s not like the fake stuff is inedible, and I was suprised that you actually overlooked its highest and best use and the only area where it eclipses PR, which is as a pizza…

I know EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL!! I’ve been playing Breath of the Wild for the better part of two years and I still haven’t beaten Gannon; not because I haven’t tried but because the world is so much fun to do shit in that I don’t want it to end! And get this- it took me eight years to finish Fallout 3! I’m not sure I…

My wife REALLY loves this ice, to the point where I found a machine designed for the home market that makes it only hesitated at buying it for her birthday because it’s about $500, and she gets a little stern when she feels like I spend too much money on gifts. I told her about it after her birthday this year…

As far as personality traits are concerned, I am Type A in the kitchen, even though in the rest of my life I’m more Type L. If recipe calls for an ingredient, unless it’s after midnight or I’ve done something stupid like start the recipe without checking to see if I had X ingredient (or what’s more likely someone…

I have been talking about making sous vide egg bites for the better part of two years. Now that you’ve shown me how ridiculously stupidly easy it is, I have no excuses and I know what I will be doing with my Sunday. I shall report back on my level of success. Good looking out!

We finally agree on something!! The future is NOT bluetooth. Bluetooth is cool for what it is, but I imagine there is a standard out there with lower energy consumption and greater fidelity that is being worked on as we speak that will kick it’s ass. And I also agree with you on the point that Apple missed an…

I only subscribe to two of these service but I have access to all four because my friends and I share logins. I find it works well, and even better when you pay for a tier of service that allows multiple users to have their own profiles. Truly this is the golden age of tv.
