Shit, I remember being so completely shocked by this incident when I heard about it as a kid. Now it just feels despairingly routine....

The backlash to Asuka pointlessly losing her title to Charlotte on the SmackDown before Wrestlemania basically proves this. Fans (and other performers, if Twitter is to be believed) genuinely like and respect Asuka, and knee-capping her like that pissed everybody off in the wrong kind of way.

Florida Grandma > Florida Man.

Do your thing during the primaries, fight like hell for whomever your candidate is, but ultimately, come November 2020, UNITY, people. Just think of the odds of Ginsburg lasting another four years in Trumpland. If that isn’t enough to get you to vote for whoever the fuck gets the Democratic nomination, then I don’t…

This was just one of those games where only one team could win. The end of regulation took the wind out of me, but the end of overtime slid a goddamn dagger between my ribs. Even at this moment, though, I was, somewhere in my head, cognizant of the fact that this was the best tournament run for Purdue in decades and…

Shiiiiiiiit, you’re right. For some reason I had it in my head that the ‘92 game was the first of the Final Four, but it was the Regional final. My bad, good catch.

I honestly thought my Boilers had it before the end of regulation; even though I knew that wasn’t the sort of thing that was supposed to happen, for a fleeting moment I truly allowed myself to believe. This is why I have trust issues.

Incredible game, though — honestly one of the best games I’ve ever seen, right up…

This is me grasping for silver linings, but now I hope this at least makes 2020 about issues, not Trump’s actions in 2016. If Trump has to run on his record instead of playing the victim (especially with an economic downturn likely on the horizon), he could be in trouble with people who aren’t already in his base.

As a white kid in middle school in Indiana, watching reruns of this show gave me a whoooooole lot to think about — certainly more than anything I had learned in my nearly all-white school. I still credit this show with starting my lessons in “shut up and just listen to those most affected” when it comes to racial…

Even though I actually don’t mind Ronda going in this direction -- it makes more sense for someone like her to do it than anyone else -- I’m annoyed for one reason: in my mind, Becky Lynch should be the focal point in this division. She’s almost reached legend status, so putting her in Ronda’s shadow (in script as…

This is why I want people like Beto O’Rourke to challenge incumbents like John Cornyn in the Senate in 2020 instead of running for President. IF a Democrat wins in 2020, they’ll need a strong Senate to get anything done; if not, a Senate that can push back on Trump’s judicial nominees will be invaluable. The…

I’ve long thought that John Stewart should be introduced as the Green Lantern in this verse, but this... this is actually brilliant.

Back when all these allegations were first coming out, I was too young to really know what to think of them. Now that I’m an adult, and one who has worked for years with kids who have been sexually abused, I can absolutely see all the signs of grooming. It’s chilling. Someone should have been there for these kids.

As basic as this should be, I’m quite relieved to read that the chief isn’t even hesitating on announcing charges for the officers. (Though truth be told, Acevedo has generally, with some exceptions, been a seemingly decent chief historically, first here where I live in Austin and now in Houston. He’s had his issues,…

So... will THIS turn out to matter?

GAHHHH, you’re right. Gilgamesh made his appearance after Odin got sliced in two. It’s been too long since I’ve played that game....

Final Fantasy VIII, seeing Odin swing in for one of his random “kill every enemy on the screen” appearances while starting a boss fight against Seifer. I literally started whooping in my bedroom.

...Then Seifer killed him with one strike.

All my whooping immediately turned to devastated screaming. Even though Odin…

Love this way of not bringing him out of the grays. Nicely done.

A group that has lived in the desert for generations and many of whom have Arabic names are supposed to be... white? Internal logic has never been a strong suit of racists, but when (not if) people complain about this, it’ll be a new level of dumb.
