Just take the W, man. Just take it.

The sequence in X1 starting with Rogue running away through her and Wolverine being ambushed on the snowy road was the only good X-Men movie until Logan.

Western culture has spent hundreds of years letting white men write the narratives—both fictional and real—focused on cultures that are not their own and in doing so, allowed for inaccuracies, and a romanticized fetishization to become part of the way we as a society see those cultures. This manifests itself in a

Yes, some things done by a white person are racist when they would not be racist if done by a non-white person, because racism is about systemic power.

Here’s the simple fact: The Washington Post did journalism the right way, and Jezebel did not.

Did I miss the part of the video where they shot her a bunch of times?

My god this is so wrong. Like, REALLY wrong. Except for the CiCi’s part.

Baseball is good.

Obviously this is a stupid faux-controversy and nobody in the entire universe actually gives a fuck, but it’s worth mentioning similar controversies exist in real sports. In baseball everybody throws a fit if a player flips his bat after a home run.

They can penalize the Dodgers by recording outs in a LCS they trail instead of giving them free baserunners.

The plate-blocking rule is really more like the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, to be honest. Or, I guess if you think about it, it’s more like the 20th Amendment to the Constitution. I also see hints of the California Proposition 6 from the November 1980 ballot in the part about the catcher not having possession.

Having watched about 25 years of nearly identical hand-wringing, pearl-clutching and angst over the loss of The Dodger Way by Bill Plaschke and various other assorted media assholes (the ushers don’t even wear straw boaters anymore!), I’ve come to the conclusion that the bigger problem is not the loss of a proven

Jayson Werth has almost 30 WAR over the course of his career. That’s really good! And while his contract was a bit of a head scratcher, I have a feeling that the Nationals probably have no regrets, unlike almost every other team that’s given a player in his 30s a $100 mill+ contract.

you’re not turned off by the stickly calves and chicken feet, or the don’t-touch-me black forest of facial hair? how about the pretentiously over-developed upper chest/shoulders on an otherwise unremarkable, medium-sized frame? he looks like he’s going to crush his own collarbones with the muscle tension, any minute

The women in these pictures make me sad.

You draw the line at whether or not you want to keep fighting them. If you do, then the way to do that is to crack their codes and call them on them when they use them. In this way, you eliminate the cover of the double meaning so they can no longer communicate in secret.

You’re right, white supremacists are dumb.
