I was thinking the same thing. Before they announced the shut down of Splinter, you could tell something was up because there hadn’t been a new post in a couple of hours. I’m getting the same vibe here.

“Welcome to the buffet.”

Also, goodbye, Toby.

“That is a $200 plasma screen TV that you just killed! Good luck paying me back with your zero-dollars-a-year salary plus benefits, babe!” 

This isn’t to defend either Trump or Epstein, but that photo is clearly fake (see the link below). We should try to avoid spreading misinformation, even if it fits a narrative that we agree with. 

Isn’t this pretty similar to the claims in 2008 that Obama wasn’t “black enough”? Seems like a pretty problematic argument in general, whether or not it’s homophobic. (Disclaimer: I am a straight white male.)

Epstein also owns a small island off the US Virgin Islands called Little Saint James and it has a creepy temple-looking building that you can see from St. Thomas and St. John. I can’t imagine the type of shit that went down in there.

Other outlets aren’t presenting the results in the headline. They are saying something like “Leaked spoiler reveals whether James Holzhauer shatters ‘Jeopardy!’ record” (see CNN). So those of us who don’t want to know the result won’t have it spoiled by simply reading the headline. I’m totally fine with Deadspin…

I ran distance in high school and college and I agree that all of the runners probably realized that the official rang the bell a lap early. That being said, I was in 3000 meter race (indoors) in college when the official rang the bell a lap early and, even though I knew that it wasn’t the last lap, I ran it like it…

My wife and I visited for the first time this past November and it was almost overwhelming in terms of its grandeur and beauty. And that was despite the fact that one side of the interior was still being finished and was completely covered up. 

I think that’s Andrea Mitchell doing the interview.

Minor point but I think Andrew Sorkin works for CNBC, not CNN. Though he may have moved recently. 

He knows he’s going to face a primary in 2020 and needs play to Trump’s base (which is especially strong in South Carolina).

Is this story going to be updated for the fact that body camera footage appears to show that Mr. Augustus was carrying a handgun? I’m not arguing that the police were justified in killing him or that this isn’t another example of police using unnecessary deadly force, but the story should reflect all of the relevant…

Damn it, now I have to rewatch the Wire for the 10th time.
