The Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Regiment Memorial by Augustus Saint-Gaudens is pretty good.

Isaiah Thomas’s greatest skill is his ability to draw fouls and get to the free throw line. Defenders are aware of how adroit he is at this, and it’s part of the reason he is able to create separation, particularly around the basket. That’s a valuable skill and one the Celtics are going to miss, but it’s also one…

100 percent thought this guy was dead.

To me, this trade signifies that all the rumors about George being determined to sign with the Lakers are probably true.

Savannah is a pretty nice place to stroll with an icy cocktail in a plastic cup.

Josh Homme, who famously gets into beefs with pretty much everybody backstage, called out Jay-Z for trying to get him to do this kind of thing:

Wally is the worst. I would even put Fredbird ahead of him, if only because Fredbird was created in the 70s and Wally was made in the late 90s. We should have known better by then.

Davis kinda was a benchwarmer in 2008, at least once the playoffs rolled around. He averaged 8 minutes and 2 points per game in those playoffs, and only played in one game in the finals.

It would be fascinating to go back over all the local news coverage of Horton from that time. It was celebrated then, but I have a feeling it hasn’t held up so well.

On the subject of Willie Horton: The coverage of him that served as the backbone of that ad and more broadly as the narrative for Republicans at that time wasn’t only held in high regard by conservatives, it won a fucking Pulitzer Prize.

Co-sign. PSVue is clearly better than Sling at this point and at a better price point than DirectTV. It seems like it most closely resembles YouTubeTV.

How many times do you think a career NHL scout, say a guy who is like at least 55 years old now, has heard the first 10 to 20 seconds of “We Will Rock You?”

The frequency of defensiveness in the face of accusations of racism amongst wealthy white people who fancy themselves liberals in the Boston area is truly astonishing. They just refuse to face it.

If the Bruins did this half the upper bowl at the Garden would be empty.

DIS IZ NEWZ????

Why hire one when you’ll do it for free? Even bringing that classic copy desk cantankerous condescension, free of charge!

I umpired a local little league game one time when I was in high school. It was appalling. These weren’t travel teams, just run of the mill local little leaguers. The quality of play was so, so poor. Yet there they were: Multiple angry shouting dads, taking the outcome of the game very seriously.
