There was an entire subgenre of “ostensibly for adults but god damn to the kids get off on it” literature. I think they key marketing technique was to create enough sensation around it for adults looking to be pleasantly scandalized to buy it, then count on their YA kids stumbling on them and reading them to tatters.

AND it turns out there was a good chance Irving was already gone from the Cavs anyway.

On that last gif: the way he kicks out his right leg and lands softly on his left one after the release projects superhuman levels of confidence. He knows the ball is going in while it’s still in his hands.

I wonder what the law says about this. If he’d been *actually convicted* on accusations from all 19 accusers, those convictions couldn’t be used as evidence against him in the new trial. (That’s right, isn’t it? Prior convictions are inadmissible?) These accusations would seem to be on a lower evidentiary threshold…

Not everyone follows politics closely, so maybe Bermudans didn’t know the PLP was so bigoted - but if those motherfuckers don’t get routed in the next election then it’s probably safe to say the country as a whole endorses their actions.

Good for her - great for her - for being willing to be something of an outlet for others to share their own stories, but oh my God I can’t imagine the amount of distress she’s taking with it.

Marciano should file a defamation lawsuit. Upton’s rich, if she’s really making it up he could pocket a real nice judgment. Of course, that might require him to testify under oath....

Oh my God, what is that from?

It would be irresponsible not to speculate!

There needs to be a “my first burner” sticker for these moments.

I don’t know why they feel obligated to make these painfully awkward gestures towards current social events. Why not say: “There’s a sports dead zone when the Super Bowl is over, pitchers & catchers haven’t reported to spring training yet, and the NBA/NHL are in the middle of their regular season slog. So we’re going…

Or, at the very least, peer pressure your better-looking friend into running.

Refusing to acknowledge has always been his MO. In Cleveland he released Bernie Kosar in favor of Todd Philcox, mumbled about diminishing skills, and that was the end of it.

“We’ll give you a mulligan if you cheat on your wife by fucking a porn star and then paying her six figures of hush money” is now boilerplate in anything I have to say to evangelicals.

“If you thought you could inoculate yourself by cheating on your wife by fucking a porn star and then paying her six figures of hush money, we’ll give you a mulligan on that. Use Jesus next time,” Copeland added. 

Being the parent of a middle schooler is exhausting enough, I’d rather not deal with another fucking edgelord every time I check the news.

I saw him open up for Jane’s Addiction at a college show back in the day, his stuff between songs was more interesting than the songs themselves. :)

I hate that I had to click on the article for this, but she’s quoting someone else in that bit.

Brazilian call for me was “<really excited gibberish> WOW! <more gibberish>“

That Australian guy, “the script is flipped, Tom Brady bereft on the turf.” Well done, Oz.
