I agree with all of this except:

Except that in most legitimate sports (which VROOM-VROOM UP THE HILL isn’t) the barriers to entry aren’t nearly as high. Which is why most professional basketball players didn’t come from much. Or most runners. Or many football and baseball players. Or soccer players. Or wrestlers, boxers. Even cyclists have a lower…

If you own a Hummer, you’re a terrible human being. It doesn’t matter what other good you do in this world, owning and driving that thing makes you a wasteful person and a net negative on this planet. So fuck you! : D

This was for some reason posted to the main Gawker page. Was disappointed that what I assumed might be an interesting article turned out to be some video game thing.

When a global crisis (climate change, the end of cheap oil, etc.) happens , we’re not going to be saved by agricultural imports from China and India. We’re not going to be saved by stripping the last great forests on the planet in Siberia and the Amazon in order to grow more food so that Daniel can eat cheesey doodles…

This, a million times this. I don’t know why we’re assuming that we should be feeding crickets the same meal we feed chickens.

Show me on this map where our next great agricultural boom is coming from.

Except that cultural perceptions of food shift a lot in western society.

Needs a pianist crooning the Jolly Green Giant jingle.

I hope she’s okay.

Yordano Ventura throws a 100+mph fastball and starts tonight for the Royals.

Spurs over Bulls in six.

Let’s not pretend four innings of no-hit pitching is some masterpiece of baseball glory and Jimenez was denied a shot at history. This was only his second time through the rotation.

Can someone explain to me why exactly Batman and Superman are against each other?

Oof. That is a depressing thought. I could imagine him actually moving to the Bulls (born and raised on the South Side) since he becomes an RFA the same year Pau Gasol’s contract expires.
