There's where you're wrong. The Red Sox themselves possibly don't deserve it. Their fans, however, absolutely do. Maybe 200%.

The "Subaru and a dog" ad campaign that's all over MLB right now.... They're not backing away from the lesbaru stereotype at all, are they?

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

If we must take a human life, let the full violence of it be felt by those who carry it out. Otherwise we get far too comfortable doing it.

One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

X2 at Magic Mountain has permanently closed. I'm glad I got to ride it last year, though hearing some of the injury stories that led to its closure, I guess I should be glad that I also got to walk away from it safely afterwards. www.sixflags.com/blog/retirin...

Charlottesville has on occasion been at least halfway there.

as "stupid fraternity shit" goes, it's a lot better than Cornell (or anything that happens in the whole state of Alabama), but it was pretty fucked up, especially for UCSC. MTV probably encouraged it (and certainly could have redirected/stopped them), which doesn't excuse it, but is complicating.

All it took was getting kicked out of the White House press room and suddenly CNN remembers that "lie" is a word.

Is there a reason not to just treat it as the pro league it's become, and have a players union with teeth, a salary cap, transfer/contract restrictions, and a collective bargaining agreement? Let's be honest and admit that at the elite level, this is a professional sport and treat it as such.

While I'm honestly not thrilled about "college" athletes earning literally millions (top Football/Basketball players clear $4-6MM a year), the fact that this Senate bill is supported by the SEC and sponsored by Ted F'ing Cruz means that I probably hate it. Right?

Long live Midas. Or was it goldie. Professor Swanger, who is the guy who donated the Porter fish in the first place, was also one of the professors who was very outspoken about keeping the no-letter-grades policy, deep into the 90s.

Sadly, none of these things are still true at UCSC.
