    - found it, it is a series but I'll give it a shot - thanks -- nm - crash davis Sep 8, 17:50 1
      - It's a comedy, doesn't fit the bill of what you asked for at all. But it's French, you see. Like Algiers. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 17:55

Tee Higgins is special. Just like his dad. - David Sep 8, 17:14 2
- Exactly. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 8, 17:39 1
  - Those fucking idiots on Vol Nation kept saying Tee should coach at Grambling, not UT. They deserve to have to watch his highlights on replay... - David Sep 8, 18:26

"Bitches. Am I right fellas?" -- nm - WTA official comment Sep 8, 16:57 1
- Bill Pullman will just not stop. -- nm - Reagen Sep 8, 16:59
WTA has announced they will investigate the referee. Goodbye. -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 16:39 8
- Ha -- (link) - Reagen Sep 8, 17:27
- Unrelated, it’s anazing how fast the right wing and Russian bots. They are all over the Serena match. -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 16:41 6
  - saw a screenshot of a comment "Obama's not president anymore, they don't have to let her win." - Tim Sep 8, 16:45 5
    - That one's so obvious it's not even worth worrying about. -- nm - Reagen Sep 8, 17:03 1
      - I like the implication that Obama had the power to do literally anything as POTUS. -- nm - David Sep 8, 17:06
    - So much of what Russia does is transparently trying to create a race/class war. -- nm - David Sep 8, 16:47 1
      - Yup. -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 16:54
    - They obviously don't know anything about Osaka. -- nm - . Sep 8, 16:46
ESPN has a video of her coach admitting he was coaching. - Will Hunting Sep 8, 16:38 16
- Like he said, every coach does it. Nobody ever calls it, and Serena didn't even see it. She thought he'd given her a thumbs up. - David Sep 8, 16:44
- Missing the point of the game penalty. -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 16:39 14
  - Well, smashing a racket and calling the ref a thief is kinda out of line when he’s admittedly right to start. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 8, 16:43 13
    - Calling him a thief is a joke. As she said men curse and say whatever they want no penalty. He’s a sad man who couldn’t handle a woman yelling at him. -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 16:55 7
      - Devils advocate: cursing at the ref is one thing, impugning the integrity of a match official is something entirely different. - znufrii, promoted Sep 8, 17:38 6
        
        had you watched perhaps you'd know that she felt her "integrity was impugned' at the first and is what started the whole issue. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 17:52 5
        
        I’m not saying she is wrong at all. I’m just saying that the respectability fallacy demands that she express her objections in an acceptable way. -- nm - znufrii, promoted Sep 8, 18:18 2
        
        Yeah, that's silly. -- nm* - Diva Sep 9, 04:35
        
        These bitches need to learn how to talk to a man! - David Sep 8, 18:24
        
        but...the coach was coaching, so the ref was correct... -- nm - Beaker Sep 8, 17:52 1
        
        As has been stated again and again by those who watch tennis, yes, he coached but all the coaches do the same thing and no one gets called for it. -- (edited) - Diva Sep 8, 17:57
    - The flaw with the argument is that he was right to start. - David Sep 8, 16:45 3
      - He gave her the warning for conduct her coach admits to. - Will Hunting Sep 8, 16:50 2
        
        Actually, if you can prove that hundreds of other people sped that same day but weren't pulled over, your case will get thrown out. - David Sep 8, 16:54 1
        
        I didn’t even read you IM prior to posing but think the exact same thing. -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 16:57
    - yup -- nm - Beaker Sep 8, 16:44
KFC at our picnic lunch today - and I brought home enough for about 4 more meals. This may not be a good thing :/ - Meg Sep 8, 16:22 1

A couple Forsaken things. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 8, 16:03 10
- I'm at the part of the campaign where I am trying to (spoils) - JaxSean Sep 8, 18:47
- Every post about Forsaken reminds me of the Descent-style game from (iirc) Microsoft Studios -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:25
- I misread this as "A couple Foreskin things." And did not want to read more. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 8, 16:10 3
  - Being ST it could have gone either way. -- nm - . Sep 8, 16:27 2
    - This is not SchmutzTalk. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:35 1
      - Well... not most of the time. 😊 -- nm - . Sep 8, 16:45
- And a couple more things, one slightly spoilery. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 8, 16:09 3
  - I got my first exotic earlier at the spot you mention. - David Sep 8, 16:14 2
    - It reminds me of Court of Oryx and Archon's Forge. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 8, 16:28 1
      - There are a lot more dynamics at hand than those, though. They were simple mob fights. -- nm - David Sep 8, 16:33
Who does this? Eesh. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 8, 15:41
She is handling this press conference so well. Her final comment says it all. -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 15:40 1
- yes. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 15:42
I'm going to focus on the positive first. -- (link) - David Sep 8, 15:11 1
- Now that I've said that, what in the fucking fuck was that sexist, racist bullshit? -- nm - David Sep 8, 15:12
Good grief, this ceremony got even more miserable. -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 15:00 1
- In Tears. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 15:01
this is the saddest trophy ceremony. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 14:56 2
- Serena was super classy. If WTA doesn't say something, this is going to look awful. WTA knows she IS tennis right? -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 14:57 1
  - And USTA needs to get their shit tight. - Diva Sep 8, 15:13
Osaka was the better player today but that was some bullshit from the umpire. I feel bad for Osaka. She didn't seem to be able to celebrate like -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 8, 14:48 3
- Osaka becomes the first Japanese woman to win a Grand Slam final. -- nm - Remlik Sep 8, 15:02
- yep. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 14:51
- Oh she certainly played better, and I feel for her because it's now an asterisk title. That said, WTA needs an immediate release, the ref is done for. -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 14:49
This referee will not ref again in a major this season, guaranteed. You start this BS with Serena and your career is doomed. -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 14:26 15
- Serena to chair umpire: "You will never, ever, ever be on another court of mine as long as you live. You are the liar. - Remlik Sep 8, 15:05 6
  - did you watch the match? -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 15:06 5
    - was reading the live updates as it happened. CRAZY -- nm - Remlik Sep 8, 15:07 4
      - Serena Williams: "There's a lot of men out here that have said a lot of things and because they're a man, that doesn't happen to them." (via ESPN) - Remlik Sep 8, 15:09 1
        
        Of course she is. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 15:10
      - I couldn't believe what I was seeing. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 15:09 1
        
        I was screaming at the TV. Screaming. -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 15:12
- I agree. Mainly since there’s no more majors this season. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 8, 14:29 7
  - Then all of next year. His phantom coaching call was bulls*it. -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 14:31 6
    - he just gave her a game penalty. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 14:31 5
      - He's awful, this is complete crap. -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 14:32 4
        
        I can't believe this. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 14:35 3
        
        When the announcers say things like ‘This has never happened in tennis’ it’s a big deal. - Volnelk Sep 8, 14:37 2
        
        I've been watching this sport hard since Borg-McEnroe. I've never seen anything like this. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 14:43 1
        
        WTA has to say something. -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 14:47
I am rereading the Planetary series. The best thing Warren Ellis has ever done. John Cassady art is superb. I am using our libtraries ap and suggest - Spawn: Blood Feud God Sep 8, 13:56 4
- How do I get your library's ap? -- nm - crash davis Sep 8, 14:11 1
  - I expect most libraries are doing the same (it is not exactly *their* ap, just one they work through). Check with your local library. - Spawn: Blood Feud God Sep 8, 14:15
- book 7 of The Expanse waiting for me at the Library!! -- nm - Beaker Sep 8, 14:08
