My dad and his best friend got the cheapest flight to Europe they could find the summer after they graduated high school. It was on the Romanian national airline, this back in 1979 when the Cold War was still going strong and Romania in particular was a secret police nightmare dystopia that made Animal Farm seem like…

Anybody else taking a nostalgia trip to this article from the Mark Sanchez retirement announcement?

You mean like she did in Black Panther? Yes, I guess I can visualize that pretty well, because I’ve seen Black Panther. 

The responses to this take seem to divide pretty neatly into people who have actually dealt with raising/teaching teenagers and those who are convinced they know better. Hopper doesn’t handle it gracefully, and the weird lie about Nana is definitely a bad move, but the way he brings down the FUCKING HAMMER on Mike…

It’s possible that she meant The Last Airbender, which is the one true Avatar as well as feeling upsettingly topical today, politically speaking.

This is such a weird time to have student debt. I’m still in grad school and have my loans in deferral because frankly I have more urgent expenses at this moment and I can’t easily afford to be making those payments. I have friends and colleagues who could be paying but are deferring or paying the bare minimum on…

And then he tosses the ball to a fan. Personally I would have kept it, but I guess I’m just not as impressive as Marc Schwartz.

29 of the 32 spots are still occupied by players from the top of the leaderboards. It seems like the criteria have gone from “be in the top 32 and it’s fine if you’re a creep” to “be in the top 29, don’t be a creep, and/or occasionally you might get a boost for diversifying the lineup or being a proven entertainment…

I saw a line somewhere in the coverage that described USC as “one of the nation’s premier safety schools,” which is hilariously mean but also kind of accurate. It’s one of those regional players that, thanks in large part to a robust alumni network in the home region, is a respectable second place status-wise to the…

That’s a little bit different. Corporations like General Motors are specifically designed to shield individual employees or investors from legal and financial penalties. That’s literally why they were created. Not saying it’s morally right, but it’s how the law is structured.

I... don’t know who those people are either. And I get pop culture osmosis, but I’d apply that idea to Scarlett Johansson or Chris Hemsworth, not to actors whose biggest roles were on family sitcoms that wrapped over 20 years ago. 

I mean, if you skipped Full House and don’t watch the Hallmark channel, it’s pretty easy. It’s not like she’s been in a Marvel movie. 

They better be bringing back Aegislash for this. 

So since nobody appears to be actually answering your question: there are slightly different sets of Pokemon in the two versions. Each generation of games generally introduces 100 new monsters, but around 30 of those are available in only one version (15 in one, 15 in the other). So you need to find somebody with the…

Mine had no Greek life and the sports teams were small and generally peripheral to campus life. So naturally my and other a cappella groups stepped in. I will say that for all that we did have dumb destructive parties, there was absolutely no hazing and we were among the more diverse organizations on campus. 

Isn’t Angel’s introductory number about how she murdered a dog? Not saying you shouldn’t like the character but I think maybe Maureen isn’t the only terrible person being portrayed sympathetically. 

Priyanka is unquestionably one of the top 10 international actresses today, and she’s going to be in the conversation for top 10 all time with decades of work still ahead of her, while there’s a plausible case to be made that Jonas is not even in the top 10 current American male singer-songwriters. 

In the states, most stores put up their holiday decorations immediately after Halloween (many even do so before). Some people do as well, but it’s mostly the stores trying to prime us for holiday shopping.

The worst evolution. Should’ve tapped B.

The conservation status of NFL players is a fascinating and urgent issue! Kaepernicks are already probably beyond saving, and if we don’t act soon  there may be no more Lucks or Gronks for future generations to appreciate.
