eh, 20 years ago me and my twentysomething office crew were all going WAZZZZUPPPP?!?!!? It’s a phase.

I love seeing these kinds of intraconference shadefests. (As a Browns fan, that and watching the Steelers lose in the playoffs are the only joy I get from the NFL any more.)

I have to confess I let out a brief scream when Coleman let that ball go through his hands. Otherwise, same.

That individual is a troll formerly known as Tomato Face. Always trolls with a tomato-related nym.

Yeah and it’s not like the fallout from a campaign of false accusations would make their reputation any worse. What’ve they got to lose?

I have to admit, something about the original piece seemed off to me. Maybe my radar needs to go into the shop, but something about it didn’t ring true to me.

Wife was like “SHE’S TOTALLY COMING ON TO YOU WHY CAN’T YOU SEE THAT” and I was like nah she just needs some help with this thing! Once we got engaged I literally never heard from her

Naming the institution but not the accused may be a good workaround.

Yeah that piece is holding up real well, it already seems 20 years old.

IIRC (I may not) that’s what happened. The NYT had a chance to publish it, passed/sat on it, he took it to the New Yorker and then the Times was like “must publish first!”

Exchange from college:

Katie’s talking to her editors after this shitshow like
