Those percentage figures are just based on a line-item on the 990 form non-profits file with very little accountability; they don’t have any intrinsic meaning, and a lot of things you would consider “overhead” are still categorized as program spending. Is advocacy part of the work you do? Then all your promotional…

1. Martha Stewart was comped free Uber in exchange for promotion.

Bceause they are deeply insecure about their own appearance, project that insecurity onto others, and treat their own children like fashion accessories?

That’s degrading to teams that actually play football.

This is such pious bullshit. Arkansas lost because they suck, not because two guys got their testosterone pumping in a slightly different way than engaging in the pointless ritual of team warm-ups. You want to reprimand them because you enjoy being officious (and because you enjoy telling young black men what to do),…

Gruden is doing what he’s supposed to be doing. The Raiders are not trying to win, they are trying to set themselves up to make a splash when they get to Vegas. It wouldn’t surprise me if they end up finding an excuse to can him for cause before then, too.

They’re engaged in some miserable activity categorically different from what’s happening in that other game.

I’m torn between wanting to see Kaep come back and wanting to Washington lose. No, wait, no, I’m not. Fuck everything about the Redskins, and fuck every asshole that supports them.

It’s inaccurate reporting. If you don’t think accuracy matters, why bother even reading the news?

Homeowners “tapping into equity” was a major driver of the 2002-2007 housing bubble - and it doesn’t really change the fundamental unfairness that the only people who benefit from increased housing demand are those who already have enough that they don’t need it. (Comparatively) rich get richer, etc.

Pro tip (actually pro because I organized events for a living for a while): next time, invite some extraverts to your damn parties.

There is a difference, it’s that there’s no parity in the NBA (or the NFL, for that matter, regardless of what the “any given Sunday” principle may dictate).

I hope somebody ransacks Jeremy Fowler’s house and the police refuse to investigate, citing the incident as “more playful than malicious”.

society fetishizes male height, and people get defensive when you challenge their fetishes

People say that Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, John Romita Sr, etc all deserve more credit than Stan Lee for the characters they co-created, but the fact is, nothing those guys did without him ever resonated as much as the characters and stories in which they collaborated. Stan had a magic touch.

Most people getting comped products to review online care more about the free stuff gravy train than they do about their followers. 

Why would he be fired? Gruden is doing exactly what he was hired to do: tank the team, stock up on draft picks, and get rid of everyone that’s earning more than chump change so the team can start fresh in Vegas. They’re doing a reverse Browns, basically adding a brand new expansion team in a new city that just happens…

I thought the brown was where the sun don’t shine.

Minnesota’s goal now is probably to tank. They don’t have the firepower to claw their way up to the playoffs, and even if they did, they’re probably better off with a rebuilding year anyway. Which is an interesting thought - do you suppose Butler’s unhappiness might have had to do with differences of opinion regarding…

Ben Simmons will only be all-NBA in a world where role-players are more important than shot-makers. Given that any team would take a point guard that can score points over one that can’t, he’s of pretty limited value.
