As a native Chicagoan, scenes in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight just SCREAM that they are in Chicago in ways it probably doesn’t to everyone else. You can hide the major landmarks (the Sears Tower, Hancock Center, Buckingham Fountain, Marina City, the diamond building, etc.) but there’s *always* something you can’t…

Last night Seattle was run blitzing, knowing Trubisky wouldn’t or couldn’t push the ball downfield, so Howard didn’t have many openings. Nagy was using horizontal passes in lieu of Howard carries (sweeping Gabriel around the stacked box for 6 yards, etc). If and when Trubisky starts processing plays faster so he can…

A common comment I keep seeing among conservatives is “here we go, Anita Hill all over again. They are telling on themselves so bad with that, because they think the takeaway is apparently that a woman lied about being sexually harassed to derail a nomination.

The first time I started noticing them doing this was halfway through Bush’s second term when things started getting really bad.

“88" and “14" are numbers associated with white supremacist/neo-Nazi slogans. If you’ve ever seen them on twitter their usernames usually have one or both of those numbers in it.

A few years ago I commented on a Kobe article that if Kobe was an ISIS recruiter, that problem would be solved already (the full context being Kobe was driving free agents away from the Lakers). It was a pretty decent joke and got 100+ stars. A guy replied to my comment and said something along the lines of “true,…

This felt like it came right out of the blue. I know his last start was rough, but damn. That’s 2 of the White Sox best prospects (Jake Burger being the other) losing a full season to a major injury. :/

The NFLPA will always be ineffective and useless and owners will always walk all over them because NFL players are crabs in a barrel. The culture of the league encourages this, position groups are pitted against one another, rookies against veterans, team before the individual, etc. Fans also back the owners for the…

For the first 20 minutes or so of the match, Serena looked out of sync, like she was missing something. Then she got her timing down and Pliskova had nothing for her. You could almost see the moment Pliskova realized it, too. She was standing strong against Serena and then her body language totally changed.

If anybody here is thinking of getting rid of their Nike apparel in a fit of performative outrage, I am a combat veteran who could use it. I wear a 10.5 shoe and either M or L clothes will work. Thanks.

There’s some irony in the fact that Dorsey/Twitter is the one responsible for banning Milo, and then his subsequent downward spiral more or less proved that de-platforming toxic people is effective, but chooses this particular hill to die on.

Counterpoint: Twitter did in fact expose these ideas to the light, and it didn’t kill them, they started to thrive and gain momentum.

Last week, I had been thinking it’s time for Issa to move on from We Got Y’all but I’m gonna miss Freida.

You partially jest, but they are literally exactly like this. I’ll never understand it.

When you’ve spent enough time on the internet eventually you develop something like a cipher for right-wing language and you can see what they’re really saying pretty easily without them actually saying it out loud. For example: “I don’t watch ESPN anymore because they’ve gotten too political” really means “I don’t…

You’re right, I forgot about Klaue.

Dude is not smart enough to understand why it’s dangerous to give legitimacy to these people. People are gonna end up getting hurt.

Killmonger has 5 by my count: museum curator, his girlfriend, Klaue, Zuri, and one of the Dora (I think that’s in order).

The agencies weren’t lying or hiding the truth. They’ve pretty consistently held that all of this was real the entire time. It’s been specific people trying to undermine them.

I’m originally from Chicago and I travel back several times a  year. Often at work I would say I’m leaving to go to the airport and my white Fox News-watching coworkers would always make some dumbass comment like “make sure you pack your Kevlar” or “keep your head down!” I didn’t think my responses to them were very…
