I know plotting a Bond is kind of a low bar, but You Only Live Twice is just "Bond goes to Japan" and Dahl forgot to write anything else.

Seems kind of hard to be posting crap from Gawker these days, as that site no longer produces new content.

Poor Milwaukee, crowded out of their own field whenever the Cubs break .500

As someone significantly to the left of Obama, Jon Stewart IS too easy on the president. Drone strikes don't suddenly become woke when team blue does them

Fuck whomever green lit this

Ah, have you begun to suspect every person walking down the street looking at their phone is a competitor or teammate? Which of you at the bus stop is actively undoing my accomplishments?!

Alas, no defense can withstand a coordinated, grinding attack. Sic transit gloria

I Don't Even Own A Television is pretty consistently great, even as I worry for their sanity

Probably the biggest problem with Serial season 2 is that they could not talk to the subject directly. Instead, we have Mark Boal fishing for a movie script as a proxy for asking Bergdahl direct questions that the investigation turns up. Also, what other perspective was there? Just fellow soldiers who had heard only…

Man, I got news for ya. This is going to be every site, every day, for longer than you can possibly imagine. Longer than we endured Game Of Thrones political analogies, even.

Ya man, the lawyer that failed to return the call of an alibi witness so as to even hear what she had to say sure was crushing it at her job.

The substance of the cell phone records is factually at issue, and you are spectacularly uninformed on the facts of the case.

The reason is that his lawyer didn't return the alibi witness's phone call. That's it.

Yeah Adnan's attorney was once very effective at her job, but those days were behind her, she loaded up on cases to pay medical bills, and absolutely dropped balls left and right. They got the worst of both worlds, an expensive, famous attorney who was completely useless.

Undisclosed is actually interesting to us laypeople. Then, around the 5th different way you hear the state's case dismantled, you wonder why Sarah Koenig lacks the same respect for her audience's intelligence.

Presumably, not as good a one as amateur law blogger Susan Simpson who demolished the state's case. Or, like, any law journalist that knows how to read lividity evidence.

Sarah Koenig should follow her life's calling of pointing more thorough investigators than herself at potential injustices.

The state tried to imply muslim honor killing pretty hard soooooo

This reminds me of the last time the AVClub had an article on Adnan Syed. A commenter tried to tell me the fax cover sheet saying the cell phone data was useless for the purpose the state was using it for was a lie/fake/misinterpreted, lol. Good times, unearned internet authority.

Holy shit, Varsity has made it to the AV Club, congrats guys!
