Don Draper was only 99% right: the universe is indifferent to almost everything, but it actively despises the Mets and their fans. Read more
It’s the same in this country, saying “I’m not racist, but . . .” makes everything after that Not Racist. Read more
This reminds me of one of my favorite Grantland recurring video series, where someone animated Jalen Rose’s (probably fake) stories.
