A) They are a public institution.

The accusations in question _were_ quite specific and very serious:

Not to completely shift gears, but I’m really psyched about Gaiman’s involvement on American Gods. Great show, great visuals, great story that’s allowed to expand into areas that the book didn’t, but also has Gaiman there advocating for the type of characters involved in the story and making sure the characters don’t…

He’s such an asshole on set, he’s such an asshole in real life. He’s a bad coach, arguably the worst GM ever and sucked as a player. He has a face for radio and a voice for print. Why do we even know who who he is?

this is what Norm Macdonald had to say about his colleague. Pretty spot on.

Have you seen how much Curry gets bumped, hit, and pushed around and gets no calls?

Both parties together only have a majority of 1/2, it’s not enough to govern effectively. It’s a clusterfuck and we’ll be having another election before the end of the year.

The last bit is why she didn’t entirely get owned: her deal with the DUP may make things even more terrifying. The DUP makes the Tea Party look like Joe Manchin.

I don’t know that those guys from the 80s/90s would like to get as physical as they think they would against players now with actual workout regiments. Steph, for example, looks small out there now, but he’s bigger and stronger than, say, Isiah Thomas.

Players from the 80's/90's would barely be able to touch Curry. Or really any of the more athletic players from today. You’re forgetting how much more agility today’s NBA has.

Magic was swept in the Finals twice - once with a not-yet-dead Kareem in ‘83! They had trouble with fucking Jerry Sichting but they’re going to shut down KD, Steph, and Klay? I’m sure Chuck Nevitt and the bench guys could totally handle Shaun Livingston.

Congratulations to all the hypothetical 2017 NBA champions, including but not limited to the Showtime Lakers, Sheed Pistons, Jordan Bulls, Irving Sixers, and LeBron Cavaliers.

You can literally see the difference with your eyes that athletes are bigger, stronger and faster than they’ve ever been. If you dropped Russell Westbrook into the 90's era of the NBA, people would have been marveling at him more than they would have Michael Jordan.

When I was a kid, being able to finish a layup with either hand off of either foot was some sort of weird amazing circus trick that happened by accident. Nobody practiced it. Nobody in the NBA even did it except, again, as a desperation accident.

A really really long time ago, probably before 2009, I saw Stan take Rafa to 5 sets at Roland Garros. At that time I really wanted Stan to win because I was (disclaimer: still is) a Fed fan.

Although I’m a single case, I’m proof that it doesn’t work . I still did things to ‘incur’ the belt. It wasn’t a real deterrent. And if it doesn’t work, what’s the next step? To do it more often and/or harder.

All it really did was make me resentful of the parent who did it and that’s the only lasting effect for me to…

This needs to be discussed more openly so adults who were whipped as kids understand what they went through was abuse. I had several instances of whippings (and a few that were worse) as a kid, and it took me until, like, three weeks ago to realize what a horrible thing it actually was, how it affected my actions and…

Hot take: If you hit your kids with a belt it’s fucking child abuse. I don’t care what your granny or daddy did when you were a kid.

Animated porn fans are a strange bunch to begin with, now we know they hold their genre closer to their hearts than most people their own families. I’ve seen less loyalty to people’s spouses then these guys are with their cartoon porn.

Using absolute numbers and not percentages reminds us that British North America” and the United States brought millions of enslaved Africans here. They brought them from various countries in the Caribbean and also directly from Africa. Using “percentages” is how those folks who are so concerned with preserving…
