I really took their Friday afternoon sign-off posts to heart.  It helped me calm down and enjoy the weekend more.   As goofy as that sounds.

Splinter made the Mueller report mess digestible and easier for my lunk-head brain to understand.  For that I’ll be forever thankful.

Still on topic though. Kellen Winslow Jr’s rapist face has been at the top of Deadspin since the 4th.

Starring you and the OP because this MUST be at the top of the thread.

+1 street cred account is full.

This 100%.

The emperor is grooveless

Count me as one.  Was so looking forward to the Big Wazowski.

Man, there’s a real counterpoint being discussed about this album in these comments. Wasn’t expecting that. AV club is a tough crowd.

That section of I-75 should be just as iconic as Mugu rock and the PCH in California. As soon as I saw the initial photo I knew exactly which stretch of road it was before I started reading.

Your second paragraph is very relatable. I work in public health with many people with Masters degrees who built their careers out of similar experience you described, but they cant relate with populations that got it rough.

I agree with you Bart. My wife is the demographic shows like Serial attract. But for me, having worked in emergency medicine/trauma for a decent chunk of my adulthood, true crime stories tend to sensationalize and gloss over the point that real evil is out there.

Does this mean that Serial, in it’s first real crack at telling this type of story, wasn’t “woke” enough?

Raaaah!!!

It’s a Shelf.

You’re really goona keep goading, and that’s awesome. What my heart knows for sure is that I said something that struck you wrong, and your accusations are as researched as the as the barrier wall this administration thinks will solve the border issues.

Seems like you’re scanning for things to get upset about rather than fully adsorbing what I’m attempting to convey. That means I didn’t use clear enough speech for you.  And that’s ok.

Okey doke. I thought I might get a reply like this when I wrote it.

It’s very cool to see how the love of racing prompted a lot of you guys into careers with the sport, and that you’re a part of this community too.

They don’t play with that AFV timeslot, but yeah I agree.  I wonder if they thought they’d have a bigger audience on a non-football night.
