This is a fascinating dispute involving an organization with almost insurmountable barriers to entry, run by rich people who won't hesitate to shut everything down if they don't get their way, misuse public funds, deliberately obfuscate or delay solutions to improve health and safety, and employ an army of public…

Probably because GRIT has become a bullshit buzzword that blowhards use to deride everything from what they think of the nation's poor to, apparently, the effort of 16 year olds paying a game. It's purposefully nebulous, obfuscates actual issues, and has been overused so often as to be devoid of meaning "America needs…

Shocking that a profane, angry authority figure stupid enough to be taped would be from Whittier.

Living off of the universal basic income that we will implement in response to the massive automation of white collar work and as a moral response to the efficiency and productive power of our new technologies, thereby freeing human beings to work far less and enjoy themselves more, and in so doing contribute to our…

You realize right that since Mao and the USSR are gone, the human rights abuses have gone WAY up in both countries, right? That's an actual fact, you know, with numbers and whatnot. The "they killed millions" rhetoric has absolutely zero evidence that is scientifically credible in a historical sense while the…

I once took my kids to the Castro in San Francisco to visit Ike's. Tons of dudes holding hands and kissing and stuff. My kids didn't seem to notice/care. Except my son saw a poster for some sort of bear shindig, and my son asked him if the hairy guy on the poster was a pro wrestler. A couple walking by heard him…

Will Deadspin be FOILing the FCC complaints about this? I also look forward to those posts.

I wouldn't pull any punches because, even if my kid were seven-years-old, he'd deserve to know the truth.

He and Jamie Moyer played AA ball together.

You're a hero.

Hi everybody! Your friendly neighborhood ShutTheFuckUp Man here. That other thread over at Gawker Prime is such a trainwreck that even I don't have time to find all the people who need to be told to shut the fuck up. If you happen to come across any truly egregious posters, please send up the STFU Signal and let me…

During a press conference, police reported they have nothing to go on.

I have to thank you for "blah blah blah libertarian thunderdome" as that will now be my stock response to all of these people and their comments to me in any forum.

I was at a golf tournament a little while back. It was the final day and the last group was coming down 18. Some fans tried to get a better view of the green so they climbed up a tv tower. Well earlier that day a fan hit one if the golfers with his Volkswagen and then subsequently crashed into this same tv tower, so…

Why didn't the cops just tell the manager of the Publix that Tallahassee is a big football town, and Publix needs to think long and hard before proceeding against Jameis Winston, because Publix will be raked over the coals and its life will be made miserable?

...and from what section of the 8,000 empty seats at a Devils home game does that chant eminate?

I'm glad to see the spirit of ECW still lives on.

"Hey, there's fans of a team that isn't my favorite team fighting unfairly! And it's a different city! That must mean that city has awful people and fans. Because everyone knows no one in my city would ever ever do these things!"

As Bill Maher said, the common cure for an 81 year old racist is the flu.
