Hello. Trump dropped an S.J. into a tweet today. Before I figured out that meant Sleepy Joe, I remembered this website exists and lucking once occupied a tremendous amount of my time. What'd I miss the last five years?

True story. Years ago, someone I know was in a car with Whitlock. Making conversation at a stoplight, this person told Whitlock they were colorblind. Thus, their cue wasn't the color of the light but rather the activated light's position. After a pause, a sincere Whitlock asked: "So ... do...

Siem Reap, Cambodia. Lord. Bad times had by all. Some of it wasn't Siem Reap's fault. My wife and I came directly from a magical trip to Thailand, and anything would've suffered by comparison. The 12-hour, van/SUV/min-van/rickshaw trip from Ko Samet didn't help. Neither did the spots of dried...

I went on a road trip last weekend, and finally got around to listening to Louis CK's podcast with Marc Maron. (Side note: It's awesome.) I realized I've reached the point with Louis CK where I've pretty much consumed everything of Louis CK's there is to consume, and I will continue to do so for...

I lived in Portland until very recently, and I would personally recommend avoiding most of the above advice. To wit: Avoid all of the doughnut places - honestly, a doughnut is a doughnut, and it's just going to leave you feeling crappy for a couple of hours during your short trip. You're not...

This story from a Portland TV station basically finds that the Ducks kept themselves from a crappy graduation rate and certain sanctions by dragging their heels on an internal investigation of the three players who were accused of raping another student last spring. The thought at the time was...

Boyhood. Have you seen it? If not, put down the laptop and do it right now. It's my favorite new pop-culture of the year, and its whole shtick is ambiguity - you can't really be driving toward a specific revelation when you're filming over the course of 12 years with actors who are growing up...

Somebody posted a more in-depth version of this theory Sepinwall's review - it fits. Can't decide if it's any better than the Mother dying, but it fits. Here it is: The episode title: "Vesuvius". Initially, the intention is to get people to think it refers to the burst of emotion Lily is...

Words matter. Framing matters. This is what we do for a living, so we are acutely aware of this.

Chris Kluwe burned bridges? That's the headline and the lead, and the first thing we should take from this story? If people just glance through the postings, as they frequently do, that's the takeaway? That's not my takeaway. My takeaway is that Kluwe said people should be treated like people...

No disrespect, but the Timbers are an exceptionally distant third. The Ducks hold the status of an NFL team, and this Blazers team is catnip for anybody who's been in Portland longer than two years.

"Eight figures" covers quite a wide range, so that question is automatically impossible to answer (especially since we don't know what that budget is intended to cover). The devil is in the details, of course. But let's say he was asking $15 million over five years. and that that figure covers...

This is open because Rob Mosley left to take a job as editor in chief of GoDucks.com. *Edited to fix stupidity on my part.

I am/was a Sonics fan, so take this with a grain of salt. There's a bubble in the NBA. It was created by David Stern, because David Stern doesn't have to deal with the consequences. David Stern will retire with the league at, seemingly, its apex. You've got your Heat and your Clippers and...

Just to reiterate - The Onion agrees with me on this one. http://www.theonion.com/articles/faa-report-spirit-airlines-is-the-forking-worst,32371/
