It looks more like “Brie Larsen’s face superimposed on a CG Captain Marvel body”, but whatever.

This is the problem with sporting penalties for moral crimes: no punishment the NCAA could impose actually fits the enormity of the crime (even the death penalty), so it never feels like justice is served. At the same time, its effects are felt most strongly by people who didn’t do anything wrong: players and fans.…

Spartans Won’t be held accountable.

I wouldn’t put it past them to be making stuff up, though. Trump’s M.O. is to surround himself with people like himself, namely crude sycophants who want to feel important. These are exactly the kind of people who will tell a famous reporter whatever they think he wants to hear just to see something they did in the…

Honestly, I want something smaller. I had an older version of this that I almost never used because it took up too much space for what I needed. Even half that size is still too much.

‘Cause he’s out of his lane. If a guy can be a famous actor in Hollywood and then end up working at Trader Joe’s, that means it could happen to anyone. If it can happen to anyone, it can happen to me, and if it can happen to me, I might start thinking that a taxpayer-supported social safety net is a good idea. Or,…

I dunno, I don’t find it hard. Then again, we’ve both changed a lot since then and she’s not the person I loved, nor would I love that person again today. I think most ex-anxiety has a lot to do with the thought that you missed out on something, and not really to do with your ex or whomever you’re with now. 

Mad props to Seth Conway for a measured, polite and upbeat response.

They need to scrap the whole conference system and just have the best teams play each other. Arguing over which team’s contrived 11-1 cakewalks with maybe two real contenders is more difficult is like arguing over whether polyester or rayon is a better fabric.

Hey Jesus-Christ-it-feels-like-literally-everyone-these-days: see above for an example of how to respond to wrongdoing in the university athletic community and inaction thereupon by administration.

A friend recently pointed me towards “Reminiscences of a Stock Operator”, a ghost-written autobiography of an early 20th-century stock trader. It was a fascinating view into the psychology of someone who started with nothing, got up several millions - not just on paper, either, but actually cashed out money in the…

He’s not naive, it’s just that shock and surprise play better with the public than “I told ya so!”

Democratic Senators cave? Never!

We’ve been waiting for magical nationwide Democratic leadership to show up for two years now. It’s not going to happen. 

Came here to say this. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and refuses to take action against white nationalists calling for organized violence against their political opponents, it’s probably a neo-Nazi duck.

Companies like Facebook are increasingly engaged in forms of regulation traditionally ascribed to States

The difference is that real-world sports have a much smaller list of official statistics that could be used to decide the result. With Fortnite you have an almost unlimited list of additional numbers you could make a comparison with: total damage, minutes survived, shooting accuracy, items collected, etc etc etc. And…

Fuck you, and the star I just gave you.

Wow. That belongs in some kind of hot take museum. 

Chevrolet Destroyer, duh
