“The sore throat that came with it nearly made me commit suicide.” Any sympathy I felt for your suffering after your first sentence just disappeared. Perhaps “comedy” sociopaths like Louis C.K. thinks weird suicide jokes are funny. It seems like half the kinja commenters think they are comedians in training, and that “…

Bill Cowher’s daughters have his square jaw. I wonder if Bill O’Brien’s kids have his chin divot?

Video gamers tend to be crabby people, so I can barely imagine standing in the midst of a “crowded” line of whining Comic Book Fan type guys. They may be “good” at video games, but an alarming number of them haven’t mastered the basics of regular body wash and shampoo use. Time to “Level Up”, guys.

You literally titled your blog post “Rest in Peace”. Since you ended with “Good riddance to the biggest scam...” I doubt “RIP Theranos” is the best possible headline. I’m probably not the only one who has started getting choosy with which author I feel like clicking on.

The way you discussed PSU says volumes about why the NCAA chose to act as it did. Sports media writers want DRAMA, and have a bottomless desire to feed the beast by feasting on misery. If the NCAA carpet bombed East Lansing, it still wouldn’t be enough for some pundits. So, since the abuse cannot be undone, and since…

Dan, you do a great job choosing interesting Philly-area stories. I miss seeing the mighty “Action News”. It’s kind of a big deal.

That was a fun well-written article. GMG’s readers being what they are, though, there’s only 4 comments, and the view count doesn’t exactly scream “viral”. It’s too bad that the shit is what sells.

Umm, that’s Michelle Beadle? Reminds me of a quote...

Agreed. And the list of Ms. Fishbein’s recently published articles gives me the impression that this post is not an aberration. Sadly, this is typical of what she considers completed work, which is worthy of publication.

You don’t need to use those quotes. Angel City Chorale singers PAY membership dues of $245 per year! They are, by definition, amateurs. https://angelcitychorale.org/singers/audition-questions/ If you live in a decent-sized suburb or city, you very likely could step away from that screen, and go see a performance of…

This video is a good example of a lot of visual choreography being used to enhance a sound that needs a lot of enhancement. They did their best, but it speaks to the limitations of the amateur performance genre.

The takeaway is that when a person takes out a verbal gun, and fires it at someone, it better be a fricken laser beam of specific accusations aimed directly at a specific person, not a vaguely waved shotgun blast that they won’t say who they shot it at, if anyone.

What’s that about plastic covered furniture? “white ladies” are not the only ones with some strange ideas about the best way to live life.

Only offline games and hobbies have any hope to be free from corporate meddling. They make the rules, not you. They will change things to suit their desires, not yours.

I agree that question marks are not ideal. If there are unexplained gaps, recruiters could conclude that the person might have spent that time on the internet, reading blogs and masturbating.

I assume most of the people reading this article will be depressed job-hunters looking for more self-inflicted pain. How about make sure you do ALL of these things next time:
1) Show up at least 5 minutes early, EVERY TIME 2) Shower with soap and shampoo, EVERY DAY before leaving your residence. 3) Groom yourself…

It’s not “no reason”. He thinks by saving this guy, it’s a potential favor he’s banking for later. You need to understand his strategy, if you want to nullify him. It’s like one of the strategies mentioned in “Mean Girls”. Instead of an “army of skanks” supporting trump, it’s a Party of GOP. Gotta cripple their power,…

He goes to bat for his (current or potential) friends, and guts his (current or probable future) enemies. Nothing about this is new. But at least he’s persistent, unlike some pink fluffheads I can think of. You know, the kind who think they’re great because they used a sharpie on some poster board and then walked and…

I’m now glad I watched the Eagles Victory Parade on TV instead. The TV coverage was AMAZING.

This show has somewhat painted itself into a narrative corner, and is showing signs of trying a little too hard to “explain everything”. Imagine that LOST had tried to “explain the polar bears”. That’s what the scalp explanations remind me of. For now, the problems are minor, because the issues are outweighed by the…
