What Tsai wrote was deeply offensive, and he knows better. The idea that every Chinese citizen opposes separatism is bullshit (ignoring that “separatism” isn’t a major element of the protests to begin with). I lived in China for many years and my wife is Chinese as are many of my closest and dearest friends. As…

The NBA really misplayed this. If China is sincerely this afraid of one person within one organization, the NBA could have struck a much harder line and forced China to be the bad guy. You want to suspend all NBA access to all Chinese fans and escalate all of this dramatically just because someone in America said…

I’m sure the million ethnic Muslim Ugyhurs residing in the Xinjiang re-education camps will be happy to hear about the NBA’s commitment to Chinese fans as they assemble for their 5 a.m. re-education seminar. It will make their morning rice gruel taste so much sweeter.

I don’t really know when this switch was flipped, but it is no longer important or good for a business/company to just make a profit. Somehow, someway, they have to make more than that, as there is always a way to make more, people and consequences be damned.

It’s absolutely degrading behavior. Teenager mob mentality.

If there is a baseline between exuberant celebration and disturbingly degrading behavior, these videos are a slow roller toward first that might not stay in fair territory.

Damn, where’s a journalist when you need one?

Thank you so much for sharing this story, Prachi. This is the most incisive and heartfelt reporting I’ve ever read.

I gave up on this guy’s reviews last season when he complained that the show wasn’t telling him how to feel...if I wanted someone to tell me how to feel, I’d quit watching television and join a cult. 

C+? Why are you reviewing South Park if a really good episode like this gets a C+? This was the best premiere in years. The episode didn’t make a coherent point because they’re just setting up the plots. You don’t complain a film isn’t a complete package 15 minutes in, do you?

This isn’t necessarily what people are going to want to discuss the most when talking about this episode but, seriously, the vaping ban is absolute fucking horseshit and is a rather transparent example of the government being bought off by big tobacco. All of the people who died were vaping some kind of dodgy THC…

26' UHaul truck. On two occasions. One time with a manual transmission. It was also RWD and diesel, but it was not brown. They’ll let anyone with a driver’s license operate one of those things.

Yeah, I'm sorry, Porsche, but having the "turbo" designation on an electric car is just flat out false advertising and stupid, to boot. Turbo is not a trim level...it says the car involved has a turbo... Why not call it the taycan flat six? Or taycan turbine engine car..yes, you called a bunch of your finest cars…

Dye his hair, cut it, laser his face or makeup. He looks like a regular nobody.

This isn’t a 10000 word article, you can freely research yourself, and Uber’s statement is directly included.

eBay and AirBNB are other “marketplace” services where the seller sets their price.

There is likely far more information that what is presented here but there is no issue with having an independent contractor working for you at a price the hiring agency sets and both parties agree upon.

Amazing how raping an underage girl wasn’t enough to ruin him, but helping to put away his fellow criminals, there’s the line he crossed

Exactly, childish bullshit like ‘...has spent the last two days pointing fingers and telling on me and you, your momma, and your cousin to...’ just perpetuates the problem.
