He makes a good argument but as a white Portlander who was a teen during these years, he’s wrong. Throughout the article he conflates shitheads like Eggers and Jaynes with the opinions of Portlanders as a whole, when Portlanders as a whole know that these guys are trash, and the Oregonian is a trash mine (in addition…

1. Sheed did well in Detroit because with Ben Wallace in his prime, he didn’t have to be The Man. He could play his game without the suffocating attention.

This seems like a pretty important bit of context. I was having some trouble with the appropriateness of using a recent genocide for sports taunting, but as a memorial observance it makes sense.

Worth noting that May 9 is Golden Lily Day in Bosnia, which is a sort of Memorial Day equivalent. So while it wouldn’t be at all surprising if Nurk wore the shirt to troll Jokic, it also could have been completely unrelated to him.

Also my immediate takeaway. Fuck that guy.

So this asshole was in the theater with his phone out taking pictures? He’s worse than the spoiler.

“NOTE: Chun-Li died on her way back to her home planet.”

Definitely the first thing you notice, other than the fact that we don’t start in space with the narration, is that Twilight Zone Classic ran 30 minutes per episode, and the difference is really quite stark. It’s one of those things where like… I know the guy’s set is boring. I have to see the boring set start at…

Wow, it’s like looking at the stars in the night sky knowing that some of the light reaching us is from long dead stars. 

Weddings are a day for your parents’ friends to get completely shitcanned with your friends and badly dance to decades-old pop music.

The core problem to me is that Merlan doesn’t like this “grifter”, doesn’t feel she’s earned her status and wrote a massively long hit piece about a drunken email.
It’s jealous gossip wrapped up as, what, truth-seeking?

I’m trying to see what she did that’s so horrible, beyond calling someone at work fat and some shitty tweets she’s apologised for.

Everyone fails a purity test at some point.
Constantly purging everyone for some evermore exacting standard of ideological purity seems self-defeating and a waste of energy, badly needed…

Pseudo intellectualism is my least favourite type of intellectualism.

And that’s why SNL will get away with it, but it’s pretty clear to me someone at SNL sifted that turd from YouTube and polished it up real nice for NBC. It’s far too specific and stupid an idea for two people to come up with it independently.

Yeah, technically the Mormon Trail started Nauvoo, IL just across the river from Iowa and Missouri. They were driven out of Independence, MO and Kirtland, OH previously.

But I wanted to highlight Missouri because, y’know, Cardinals fans.

Didn’t these guys get forced out of Missouri because they were such assholes?

Cecilia, you are undoubtedly the best working games journalist out there.  

You’re right. I just don’t see how this will work with that very realistic high resolution cardboard.

THERE CAN ONLY BE NONE

My god! A blunder of this magnitude just ruins all their credibility!
