I have greatly enjoyed watching Shani compete throughout the years and will continue to do so in this Olympics. However, there was a tie in voting(done by the athletes), the long established tie-breaker was a coin flip, he lost. I get being hurt by it, but you don’t boycott the ceremony over it. We have elections that…

Looks like he was in some other trouble recently as well. From this site:

I also had not heard about this, but just found this news coverage of it.

I had the honor of seeing “I am Not Your Negro” a couple months back with director Raoul Peck in attendance to do a question and answer session afterwards. It was life-changing. Please see this film if you have not yet had the chance.

It is private property, so they can ask him to stop filming. He doesn’t have to comply, and in this case shouldn’t, but if the store or the mall says you can’t film there, then you can be asked to leave for doing so. Just being around people does not mean you are in public. Public spaces are parks, sidewalks, outside…

I work in higher-ed. The acronyms are far worse than the jargon, but I guess we are trying to catch up on some of the consulting-style jargon though. For example, I just received this email about 10 minutes ago. “Are you okay with the drop-dead date of April 1 or do you need to get your students in…

I really enjoyed your article! My first job was at a movie theater. As a 16 year old nerd, the free movies and popcorn would have been payment enough. The $5.15 an hour on top was just icing on the cake.

I know you are giddy because you are “winning” an internet argument, so hyperbole is the norm. But, how long ago do you think telephones were invented?

Slushies is solid, but what about the Flurries? Or do they only like it when it’s actually still lightly snowing, but not yet to the point of being slushy?

Good luck in your quest. Also, it’s pop.

Why, yes, yes there are. I worked at a news station that covered this one:

Thanks for the advice! I think she has only gotten like one or two new sports bras in the 5 years we have been together, and none of those were Nike. I know she has a couple older Nike ones, so maybe I can figure out what the newest versions of those are. But yeah, this might be a situation better left to a gift card.

That’s all well and grand. Good for them. They seem quite in love.

That is certainly a thing. Minnesota style pizza is not. Also, while ‘Sota is a thing, “soda” is definitely not. Here is a handy visual guide;

His sentences will amount to far longer than the rest of his life. He will be in prison until he dies. To go along with your metaphor, how is that not removing the cancer from your body? He will never touch another young girl. He will die sad and alone in prison, and cost society far less than a death sentence…

Not sure if you are making a dig at Patagonia in general, or just that all white people own a ton of their clothing, but they are actually a very socially and environmentally conscious company. For example, in light of 45's decision to cut back Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments, check out…

Thank you!

Where did you see it said that the plea deal prosecutors reached was initially for more than just the probation and that the judge imposed a more lenient sentence? I’m not trying to argue your point. I just moved to Cook County a couple months ago from out of state and would love to learn more about such issues as…

I’ve always wanted a good opportunity to post this video(mostly because this movie is one of my guiltiest of pleasures), but also because Suck It Matt Lauer!
