The timing of that documentary about the White Helmets, a humanitarian group in Syria, is a little strange. USAID have given them $23 million but have also revoked the visa of their leader. It’ll be interesting to see how the documentary treats its subject, an organization that was created like three months ago. From…

I’m eager to see the documentary about the White Helmets in Syria. USAID have given the White Helmets $23 million, but have banned their leader from entering the US, which is weird. Supposedly, this organization was started around the time of the Brexit vote (not too long ago), but there are already Netflix…

Even the fan complaints are bland.

How about just “Desert Knights” with an apocalyptic-motorcycle-gang-skull-with-martini-umbrella-and sunglasses logo?

“Arabian Nights / like Arabian days / more often than not / it’s hotter than hot / in a lot of good ways”

If the Las Vegas logo isn’t a skull with sunglasses and a martini umbrella sticking out of it and if the nickname doesn’t invoke an apocalyptic motorcycle gang, I am going to cheer for the “Anaheim Ducks.”

The owner of the team went to Army and got rich, whereas other vets his age died in Vietnam or came back home and…

One of my favorite moments of the Olympics was the “Z-iiii-ka” chant.

“Most of the people who follow our program know that what’s very important to Kirk is student-athlete development — physically, mentally, leadership,” Iowa athletics director Gary Barta said Monday.

I have always wanted to see a 2000-meter race at the Kentucky Derby with humans.

I think the 5000-meter steeplechase (gold medal won by Conselsus Kipruto–Kenya) would be more similar to a 2000-meter race on a sloppy mud track than the 1500 meter race (gold medal won by Matthew Centrowitz, Jr.–USA).

He might not have stepped out if that cone wasn’t in his way. I like Lagat’s response: no harm, no foul. A single footstep is meaningless.

Here’s an idea: Re-arrange the lines on the track (there are 9 of them; 8 “lanes”) so that each “lane” is marked as a straight line–in essence, a line down the middle of an old…

Omarosa is definitely responsible for Michael Clark Duncan’s heart attack.

“[Omarosa] currently teaches in the Executive Education Program and in the Executive MBA Program at Howard University School of Business.”

What is there to teach other than how to f*ck over labor?

Netherlands is the best “individual sporting event” country.

Just learning about Anatoly Fomenko is cruel, but attempting to introduce him to others is somehow even more cruel. It’s hard not to immediately reject “the New Chronology” without reading anything about the ideas. One day, though, you’ll introduce Fomenko to somebody just as open to cool new theories as you. Thanks.
