She is isolated and doesn’t talk to anyone but her Russian handler.

This wasn’t Marvel. Fox owns Deadpool at this point. I think Disney would have done this and even get Taylor Swift on board since day one.

The Venn Diagram of people who would be annoyed if there was a single reference to black 80s culture and people who “don’t get why Black Panther is such a big deal” is a circle.

But there are two of them and we only have the one....

oh, I see where this is going.

Yyeah, The Wing can also try doing what black people had to learn to do: say it’s open for all to avoid the idiotic “reverse discrimination” claims (or reverse sexism in this instance) and market your ass off to your target audience. Just use tons of pink, only feature women in your promos, and dudes will get the…

American Public Media’s “Marketplace” outlet is pretty fantastic, especially Kai Ryssdal’s flagship podcast of the same name. Kai & APM have a great way of explaining really business-y things without making it boring or patronizing.

At least Nick Saban is nice enough not to run up the score on the sacrificial lambs of college football.

I’m with Ashcraft on this. Iron Man was the first, and it’s the best. There’s no MCU without it. The Incredible Hulk, by contrast, is a movie so underwhelming that people forget about it when they think about the MCU. Probably because it’s the one that feels like it’s part of it the least.

So one day, this old lady calls me—by the way, I met her later, very good looking for her age, not a pound overweight, very beautiful—she tells me the portions are too small. And I tell her, “That’s a terrible shame. That’s really a shame. I know Dave Thomas. I play racquetball with him all the time. He cheats all the…

That feels like someone bending over backwards to find something vaguely similar to the shit in Trump’s head. For this to be what he’s talking about, he would have had to learn about Japan’s safety testing procedures at some point in his life (no chance), remember it (no chance), then make up something barely…

I am the parent of a soon to be 15 year old boy. I’ve never seen him or any of his friends do any of these “next teen craze” thing. Also, my son knows that if he did this shit with his phone, and it broke, he’d be without a phone. I’m not replacing a phone for him if he treats the things he has so recklessly. But…

I would just like to take a moment to enjoy the fact that Jacksonville’s local culture magazine is called Void.

Thanks for Putin this into the proper perspective.

That’s what you get for Russian into things.

But no doubt very deliberate.

Everything ICE has been doing as of late seems to be to attract the racist white nationalist type with the chip on their shoulder to round these people up. Hell they even speak to the White washed Latino cops (who are prevalent here in SoCal) who forget that they are 2nd and 3rd gen and agree with this kind of shit.

Tough decision. His heart is between a rock and a hard place.

I dunno, seems to mostly add up to me? Cuban is heavy-handed when it comes to the actual basketball team, but that doesn’t mean he’s paying much attention to HR shit. You can very easily argue that he SHOULD be paying attention to it, but that’s essentially what he is owning up to here.

Because it breaks the fundamental payment model of baseball.

The problem is that player’s salaries are systematically kept low for most of their young years (six years of team control, the first few for less than a million) under the guise that, once you hit free agency and show how well you can perform, that’s when you’ll finally get paid. But, in recent years, teams are…
