Meh. He’s still only the 3rd best Mookie in sports history.

I am Brazilian and I resent the description of Brazil as a banana republic. Banana republics don’t deserve to be offended and denigrated like that by being compared to our shitty country.

Cool, so the security guard assaulted himself, the hotel room trashed itself, Winona Ryder misremembered things to Natalie Portman, Kate Moss ripped up photos of herself in a fit of jealousy, all those beers drank themselves and then went on television and drunkenly stumbled through that speech, the car drove itself…

Rookie photographer mistake: ISO unnecessarily high.

You’re right, of course. Plenty of great stories take themselves very seriously and still work quite well. But I would argue that there’s a lot of camp inherent to the Warcraft lore — soul-stealing, two-headed ogres, a character whose full name is literally Garona Halforcen — that makes it far more difficult for…

Oh, sweetie.

got to this line here “These games are set in a world full of in-jokes and surreal humor, one that’s inhabited by a race of giant panda bears because the developers at Blizzard really liked one of their own April Fool’s jokes.” and stopped reading. I’m not going to pretend that this guy knows anything if he cant even…

Ouch. I had heard about this a few months back but just from the Spanish translation team, which had gone on strike back in February. There was a thread on reddit started by the head of the translation team, which has sadly been partially deleted. There were some articles about it, if you feel like doing some reading: …

There isn’t an airplane in existence that uses Windows anything.

Are you implying that there’s a tech company out there that isn’t spying on you?

I love that he still does his complicated at bat ritual. The best thing in baseball, 15 years running. (oh my god ichiro has been in baseball for 15 years im so old)

Sure Ichiro is a sure fire HOFer if he yanks 3000 hits here in the States. But lets not forget his fellow countryman Hideki Matsui who jacked it at least 3000 times while playing here.

I’m a Jets fan. I’m already there.

Go to hell.

Abuse is never justified. Never. Justified.

@Sisyphus: Really? Would we accept that kind of logic from a man? He deserved it because he probably antagonized her? Based on the article and comments here, I don't disagree with him. Gleefully admitting to partner violence is not okay just because you're a woman. It's still something to be ashamed of.

The missus smacked me around a bit for the 3rd time in our 17 year marriage -i never even raised a finger -ever!

Hitting is hitting. It doesn't matter who is the hittee and who is the hitter. Saying that women can't inflict as much damage on men because of their relative sizes is total bullshit and doesn't excuse the lack of control people exhibit if they hit their significant others. If this was a comment thread with a bunch of…

Seriously? If these comments were from men celebrating their finest acts of physical violence against their partners, people would be going batshit insane with outrage, and rightfully so. Just because women aren't as strong as men doesn't men they can't do some serious harm. Especially if the dudes aren't fighting…
