Hiring Megyn Kelly was a no-win decision for NBC. Most Fox viewers aren’t going to follow her to the “other side” at NBC News and most NBC viewers are going to reject her based on her tainted history at Fox. They had better be looking at her as a long term investment and PR rehabilitation project or signed her to an

You conveniently chose to ignore the example I gave of that very thing happening (the wave).

And isn’t there laws where games rated by the ESRB can only be bought by the age group they’re rated for and higher?

Hopefully this was a one-off and I suspect that the next sanctioned event will put a quick stop to it should it happen. But it should be pointed out that the crowd only did this for one underdog player. It’s not like they were doing it for every match.

The wave (aka the Mexican wave) was an accident that began when one group of fans missed a que to stand in a coordinated cheerleading segment. And a high school in California one day started playing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh inning stretch. Point is, every tradition started somewhere with just

Surprised that this one was missing from both the list and the comments.

With the current makeup of the SCOTUS, a bipolar narcissistic President and his Cabinet of Misfits, and a spineless Congress lacking any tangible ideology, I don’t know what laws do and don’t apply anymore either.

I really, really wish I were joking even a little bit on that.

Given the events in Charlottesville, they could have very plausibly misinterpreted the driver’s intent. The driver may have had an expectation that they would be polite enough to part for him. Personally, I would have driven around the gathering, but if the crowd allowed me safe passage I would have taken it.

I am really not a fan of the conceit that people must focus on one and only one event or perspective at a time, particularly one where they have no influence on the outcome. Fun fact: People are complex and capable of experiencing many emotions and thoughts, often at the same time. For example, it is possible to feel

They’re not wrong about Deadspin having the sense of humor of a twelve year old though. That screenshot most assuredly would have appeared on the sidebar.

“I’m the leader of America, not the world,” - Donald Trump, Feb 2017 in an address before Congress.

If we want an isolationist America, that’s the price we pay.

Too bad. The President of the United States stood in front of Congress and denounced that title publicly to them and to the whole world. Someone was going to inherit that mantle.

I felt similarly about the first Sonic game. Hold right until you run into a set of spikes. Grab one of your rings back. Repeat. In hindsight, I really shouldn’t have been surprised when most of the SegaCD games turned out to be cutscenes peppered with quick time events.

After five games you should have a good idea whether or not this game is for you. It’s not like the word “Uncharted” is hiding in small print.

I suspect that when she gets to Winterfell someone will mention Lyanna’s name and Gilly will casually reveal what she read.

“...Ned’s sister, Lyanna Stark....”
“Oh, the one that was married to Rhaegar?”
“Uh, what now?”

Or maybe it’s just like his brother’s engagement in a different sense. The newspapers ran wild with an unsubstantiated engagement story then too.

Other than one was in Kenya and the other was over a thousand miles away in Botswana.

“You’ve come so far.”

Not a name change per se, but the Dreamcast swirl was changed from orange to blue to avoid conflict with the German company Tivola that used an orange swirl.
