Word. The only good thing about Subway is the ability to add a lot of veggies to top the substandard meat (I go with spinach, every available pepper, oil/vinegar on whatever meat).

philly cheesesteak - peppers = roast beef sandwich.

those gluttons and their lettuce!  For shame!

Even with Serena’s appalling behaviour following her appalling behaviour in 2009/2011, what I will most take away from the finals was Osaka’s quiet power. Serena was flailing under it. We’ve seen how there’s Serena, and then everyone else. So Osaka actually outpowering Serena I see as the passing of the mantle to a…

Well all mayo in general is disgusting and can only be made edible by adding other things to it. And aiolis are just mayo that moved away after college, dropped the accent from their voice, put an umlaut over the ‘u’ in their last name and only visit every third Christmas for half a day.

I think there are different baselines when determining popularity and talent on/off-line. 

Stopping the reincarnations of no-longer existing musicians is a better idea.

But there already was a James Brown. 

Wouldn’t that be the blog’s job? The 3 linked recommended stories are about fashion/comments on other artist’s comments. 

Is Janelle Monae some kind of popular/talented musician because all I ever read about her from this site is commentary on the madness of the news cycle. Ya know, kinda like everyone does now.

I may not have hit the nail on the head with my word choice here, I’ll admit, but I don’t think the article is balanced, it’s a puff job of Serena.  She lost 6-2, 6-4, and this controversy happened in the second set.  Wouldn’t it be more fair to say that Serena wasn’t feeling it today, wasn’t having her best match,…

To work at a national news site and not report what happened? We may be the fashion section, but that’s not how this works.

yeah, she had Williams dead to rights from the opening serve.  No-one forced Serena into those early double faults and wildly missed ground strokes.

You're an idiot. 

This was so hard to watch. I hope Naomi Osaka knows she would have won this match on her own if all of this shit hadn’t happened.

The franchise tag was designed to keep good players from abandoning lesser, smaller market teams in favor of bigger, major market teams. Face it. Every player in every sport would rather play in LA or NY. That’s where all the good stuff happens. But somebody has to play in Pittsburgh.

She was a complicated character.  Maybe you have to hate your characters to make them decent.  Look at George R. R. Martin.

Agreed. I don't see how Steinbecks awfulness should deflect from or excuse her own. 

There’s more to this story and it’s significant to consider before judging:

Next they’ll tell us Bukowski was a drunken jerk.
