does that say “drunk women”? ya know, just to clarify?

This bears repeating.

“We can neither confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of a criminal investigation until such a time as a person is charged with a crime,” said Hamburg Police Chief Gregory G. Wickett.

Considering Exponent’s findings here will now join their storied accomplishments of:

What we’re looking at, in the absence of red-handed guilt, is the NFL, its investigatory arm, and that arm’s hired experts railroading an investigation with shoddy, biased works of bad science, and then holding up their homework to Roger Goodell, who sticks a gold star on it and calls it “highly credible.”

Snyder’s contempt for Exponent actually makes a lot of sense. They are well known as being a junk science for hire firm. Their previous reports have stated that second hand smoke isn’t unhealthy and that there are no adverse effects of dumping toxic waste in the rainforest

I love this toaster oven. It’s a great help with dinner. Typically, I’ll roast something in the oven and then use my toaster oven to roast the vegetables.

This lawsuit is a slam dunk. If there’s any media outlet that refuses to host the opinions of white Christian men, it’s Fox.

Oh, the Places You’ll Go! is probably Dr. Seuss’s best book (well written, well paced, not overly sentimental, it’s great), and it’s ridiculous to hold some graduation cliche against the book itself. Stupid to give it to a graduate, of course. But for a kids book, it doesn’t get any better.

The only correct answer is 140 pound Pedro Martinez gripping fat Don Zimmer by the ears and dumbo-tossing him aside.

If your PS4 controller battery is requiring charging after every gaming session, you either have a problem with your battery or you are playing for REALLY extended play sessions. I often go days between charges, usually with 8-10 hours of play time notched before it even goes to the last bar on the indicator. Not that…

That’s what I find crazy-making about this. ESPN’s superelitepluggedinfootballguys got very prominently suckered by highly placed NFL sources twice (at least) in less than 12 months, on two of the three biggest player-discipline stories in that time frame. How can they be OK with this? I can understand, cynically, how…

Journalists are also supposed to be taught to consider a source’s reason for anonymity before promising it and, ideally, to only promise anonymity for a good reason, such as protecting them from physical danger.

Ideally you should ask a source “Why do you not want this attributed to you?” If the answer is, “Because it…

I am not a reporter. I am also a vindictive, grudge-carrying SOB. So while I understand practically why a practicing journalist would choose to handle this differently, if I were a journalist I think I would have to fight very hard against the impulse to go scorched-earth.

Wrong answer.

Hard to say. Journalists, ethically speaking, are taught in college (assuming their journalism teachers and curriculum were similar to those I encountered while majoring in that bullshit) to protect anonymous sources at all costs... because if you snitch them out, you’re not just burning and losing THAT source; you’re…

I can’t speak for anyone else but I’d have to take it on a case-by-case basis. A lot rests on how good the source has been in the past, how much I’ll need them in the future, how important the false info was, etc.

Eh. This is one issue where I diverge greatly from feminists on, probably due to my ethnicity. As a black man in America, I just can’t be so dismissive of the the existence of false allegations of rape and the impact that they have when they occur. Many an African-American man in the early-mid 20th century ended up…

I hope one of them gets gored by Peter King.
