I have moved home often enough, have had so little shelf space, and as a result have had to ditch so many books, that for me it’s all the same. I’ve just moved halfway across the world and managed to take a few hundred books with me thanks to my kindle.  If Amazon goes bust tomorrow, it’d still have been worth it.

Thank you for continuing to cover this story. There is no limit to the shame that these people deserve. They had the audacity to give themselves awards for their handling of her case. https://www.deseretnews.com/article/900074258/university-of-utah-lauren-mccluskey-police-apology-awards-ceremony-mentions-slain-student-…

If you ever need motivation to swear off drinking for the rest of your life, just take a close look at the skin around this guy’s nose.

They also don’t depend on their MNT paychecks for any meaningful part of their compensation, whereas the women do.  The metaphor would be more like asking a NFL player if they think that college players should get paid than asking a Mets player about their own front office.

“What do you mean (seat belts/vaccines/bans on lawn darts) are a good thing? We didn’t have those, and we turned out fine!”

I mean, if we bumped minor league wages up to a lavish $40k a year, do they really think players will say “nah, I’m good here, not really worth exerting myself to hit the bigs and earn a few million”.

Law firms often have onerous billable hour requirements. This made perfect sense in a world when you billed clients by the hour. More billed hours = more money for the firm.

As someone who was in that situation:

“I don’t disagree with [the notion] that they’re being exploited, but I think it’s for the betterment of everybody,” he adds. “I know it sounds crazy … I think there’s a middle ground...”

I would just like to say that your attempt to compare a rich white fan/owner shoving a player, who had zero interaction with him or his family, because he felt entitled to do so, to a well known black GM being stopped by a cop, supposedly because his visible credentials weren’t visible enough, and then allegedly being…

Don’t forget the lesson from Giudices of RHONJ - don’t commit bankruptcy fraud.

Lesson learned.  Stop taking pictures of your fucking food.  Just eat it.

Joiner didn’t play in the NFL.

Urban Meyer’s football program was a super villain origin story.

Having played in the MIAA Conference for one of the smaller catholic schools back in the day and now as an adult able to understand the politics of it all..... you can’t find me a bucket large enough to hold all this popcorn. The only way it could be better was if the sport in question was lacrosse.

Porky’s of course.

It’s even worse where I live now, in North Carolina – people are obsessed with hanging runner-up flags from 153 years ago

ESPN: We Don’t Know Why You’re Still Watching, Either.

Exactly. I don’t see any of the men in my department asking why our entire department doesn’t have a single woman in its administration. They didn’t say a peep about a recent series of panel discussions organized by the department that didn’t include any women. We’ve had several hiring committees composed entirely of…

Yep. I posted this elsewhere, but my university’s department just wrapped up a lengthy sexual harassment investigation of our chair. The most silent members of our faculty were the young, male professors. They absolutely disappeared. Those cowards were silent. Not a single one stood up for the victim, who had reams…
