How on earth he’s still allowed to be popular after this cornball move is beyond me. Times have fucking changed, man.

I hope he has more luck with this endeavor than in “Seeking Championship in New York.”

“But when I do start to read, that’s when if I’m into the book and if it’s a good book then I’ll keep reading.”

Yes, but with white nationalists/fascists/Nazis, there’s a more narrowly defined set of ideas that inherently required violence and are (or at least used to be) rejected by society at large. Painting incels with the same broad brush is going to send a whole lot of already ostracized young men further down the rabbit…

I’m more than a little worried that all this breathless reporting and thinkpieces on incels is just going to give their (admittedly attractive to men who feel isolated) worldview more exposure while driving the core believers to radicalize. No good can come of this.

Officially? Neither. Secretly? I’m guessing both.

There’s no difference between being beaten throughout your youth and sold to a master and being forcibly asked to go to Costa Rica to bang old men?

While this is certainly disgusting behavior:

On the downside, making a living as a pro poker player appears to be at least as miserable, if not more so, than being a full-time journalist/New Yorker writer. In terms of job insecurity, long hours, and exposure to scumbags, it’s probably at best a wash.

Here is the real question: how do you know that YOU are doing more than signaling a response to stimulus, more than a program made to simulate emotions in enough detail to pass for human is? How do you prove that you “feel” and it doesn’t?

So how many deadspin staff quit / ask to be assigned to play poker for their stories after reading this?

In these Godless days I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but  I really think all the gambling has ruined the beautiful and pure sport of poker

I’ve only caught a little bit of the first two games, but the FT disparity is pretty jarring. Only 9 team FT’s for New Orleans and 0 FT for Davis last night. Only 11 team FT in game 1. Meanwhile, Golden State shot 32 and 27 FT’s in games 1 and 2. Is Golden State really playing that cleanly on defense?

Can’t tell if this is making fun of his golf game or his weight. Excellent Kinja.

The only combo I could see working is with Philly. Simmons, LeBron, and Embiid (with timely threes from Reddick and co.) would wreck shit.

Does that make Ben’s new nickname “Olive, the other reindeer”?

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

Do this, don’t do that, can’t you rip the sign?
