Okay, honest time: Did the artist draw a swastika absentmindedly on the hood, realize the offense and turn in into some Nabisco-like symbol?

We had one box fan in our two story house with seven of us living there. My mom had various theories about how to keep the house cooler, which always involved the fan turned away from us. She would prop it in a window, breeze going out, to suck the hot air out of the house. Or, she’d prop it up on the pull-down…
I’m conflicted. I agree that if you are going to run an objective news outlet your reporters need to stick to facts and not editorialize. Hill tweeting the long list of quotes and actions our president has said is different than stating a conclusion (no matter how obvious). If you’re going to be objective at work,…
What’s with the odd side angle shot? Distracting. Fine, the straight-on gets a bit dull, but why not have him dramatically turn, face the second camera and continue his talk? Can’t follow the switch from one teleprompter to the second? Two takes!
Why can’t everyone be wrong?!
It looks bad, but I disagree with your pessimism. We are not Europe—we are just too darn diverse for a minority (white male) to control the majority (everyone else) if that majority doesn’t want to be ruled. The power is there. The genie cannot be put back in the bottle.
I want someone to note that Alice Paul, Harriet Tubman, and Henry David Thoreau also did things for the freedoms we enjoy today, not just the self-proclaimed heroes of the military and police and those who hide behind them.
Can I turn off the blood? The exploding animals and blood I find disturbing, and considering I was thinking of getting this for my tween son....
I miss the old font and formatting.
I’m going to be more charitable and assume that a) personally believe it is important to stand for the anthem, b) understand and support their teammates and want to show that support. It’s positive.
Serious question: Do government isolate them, or do those communities isolate themselves? I know it is different in different countries.
Favorite car hack story about HOF pitcher Steve Carlton (as told my Tim McCarver), so you can use it in Deadspin, too:
I’ve long been tired of Whedon telling me he’s a feminist. Just do it.
You have to take into account access to available items. For example, I might save money on buying a sleeve of Snickers bars instead of going to the vending machine, but a drawer of Snickers bars means I’ll have two a day instead of one—no savings and less healthy. Making a week’s worth of lunches on Sunday can make…
This is why David Allen’s Getting Things Done (GTD) is so powerful, and popular with the ADHD procrastination crowd. Beyond a “to do” list, he instead has you lay about “next steps” towards getting that thing done and to decide specifically when you are going to do it (say, get Sally’s phone number on Wednesday as…
I hate the term “white privilege’. It only serves to make people feel guilty for something they have no control over (being white). Fay’s act here might be misguided, but how does an ally become the focus of ire instead of those who hate?
Several Islamist militant leaders have noted that Europe is the perfect breeding ground because their social-liberal policies allow for them to say whatever with protection, even when that whatever is intolerant and causes violent actions against that same tolerant state. They are not the first or last to enjoy this…
Kaepernick’s taking a knee is more effective BECAUSE no one expected him to, and his star status is on the wane. He gained nothing, except doing what he believed in and drawing attention to the problem. When people like him, in his position, act, that is exactly when change begins.
Putting statues up of people on the wrong side of history does not remind you that they were wrong. That’s not how statues and commemorations work. We don’t create statues of Hitler or bin Laden to remember their actions.
To be fair, LeGarrette Blount only sucks when he plays for Pennsylvania teams. His rookie season in Tampa was pretty good.
