I believe it’s George Harrison’s son.

if you were being paid tens of thousands to each play professional basketball game

Cool! He’s a finisher in that Hindu half-marathon they have in Augusta every year, the Masters Race.

So...still 100%

meh, good for him. Schools want to pay as little as possible to everyone who works for them because of capitalism, so when it comes back and spits in their eye, I’m all for it. Fuck UNLV

He still got to use his hands.

I think most people can do this, it’s just shocking to see a politician do so because they’re famously stupid as all fuck.

Agreed. Also, what’s impressive about stopping a shot when the whole entire goal is blocked off and the offense has no possibility of an angle?

Heh. This post is like, the hottest take of 1954.

This is so true. So much of what we consider other people/animals/things to be comes from us. This is how we work. That’s why we can look at a plug in and see a distressed face, and relate almost immediately to it, even as we consciously know it’s not “real.” (Which is to say, it’s imaginary, but not less real for all…

If you imagine that the animals are Indians and the humans are British then it seems colonial and racist, but without the context to interpret it in that way, it’s not. That’s how Disney can put it out now without any problems (and this goofy clickbait doesn’t count as any…

Oh man, if you don’t know Ramin Bahrani yet you’re in for a treat! He’s AMAZING! Maybe not Truffaut, but definitely one of the best directors in the world.

So...advanced metrics are deeply flawed ways of thinking about sports?

This is a great idea! I hope everyone who wants to be able to use their phone during a movie goes to these theaters and leaves the rest of us alone.

cocaine is the best part of a speedball.

For a site that publishes illegally gotten sex tapes, the link drawn between voyeurism, journalism, and reading journalism sure went over your head pretty easily.

Ehh, you could ignore Rodman on offense if you wanted, but that would probably mean giving up 20+ offensive rebounds to him. He might not be a scoring threat, but I definitely don’t see him as a non-factor or unplayable.
