Obligatory SMBC for being eaten by aliens:

Definitely deserves a mention, but c’mon. Ntilikina’s 4th and Gobert’s defense were the big story. 

I’m really happy for Gobert, and I hope he rides this to a Fuck You season of ripping apart every team and ending every press conference with a “Who’s crying now?” tirade. He deserved the All Star, and when he got choked up and other people gave him shit (like Isaiah Thomas), I thought it was BS. I really do hope he

Using the Prevent prevents you from winning, I always heard.

I don’t know this dude (the tweeter, I think we’re talking about), but I assumed the “gotta close” was directed at the Texans. If it’s directed at Watson, then I’m confused.

Um, which Ivy League schools don’t already suck horribly in sports? Especially the revenue-generating sports (football, basketball, maybe baseball). Yale’s got a decent hockey team, I guess, and maybe Ivies have some success in Lacrosse (not going to bother to look it up). Duke’s not an Ivy League school, and UVa

Dammit, I know that redhat is a great metonym for those chuds, but I’ve always thought those medieval red hats were cool, and I cut my teeth on Red Hat 5 back in the day. Makes me angry all over again that we can’t have nice things. Red hats are nice things that have been completely destroyed. Fucking fascists. Ugh.

I honestly read that series at least once a year as a teenager. I remember very clearly lsitening to an audio-cassette version as well in my elementary/middle school library. More of a dramatisation than a full adaptation, if I remember, but it’s hazy. And since we’re talking about King, I would probably read The Eyes

Gabriel’s wrong. There’re plenty of bandwagon fans; they just hopped on the fucking bandwagon 17 years ago.

And I think the important part of your analogy is that the discussion is not about whether “godless Muslim communists” even exist (because of course they do, and they vote Democrat) or whether any one of those features is in itself all that bad.

And it worked so well they looked for a way never to lose to it again. They made the spectre of communism so reprehensible across a generation that made it so much easier to win the next round. I’m not sure if we’re in round 4 or round 2,000 right now, but we can’t seem to escape the cycle.

Also, you have to fucking make it to the Super Bowl multiple times in a row to be a version of the Bills. These people are aspiring to Bills-dom.

Truly fertile ground for humor.

I read the article that Michael Lewis developed into his latest book, The Fifth Risk (haven’t read the book yet). It’s a nightmare about how unprepared the incoming administration was for doing the things they have to do. Quick google:

That’s not specific to legal writing; that’s just a standard quoting practice in English writing. When you insert your own words or letters into a full quote, you use square brackets.

How wrong can one comment possibly be? Crushing your nuts on the waistband of your underroos is 1st-grade behavior. You’re in middle school now, man. Use the fucking fly. You shouldn’t even unbutton your pants.

Luckily enough, the 9,00 billboards advertising vasectomies in Florida start at the state line, so he’ll be set.

Barry’s got some clout here now. You think he could—? Naaah.
