Once again, the Brits show us that the key is to ask the same question, over and over, until you get an answer.
They don't want to answer the question, so they answer a different one. It's a problem as old as time when it comes to our friendly neighborhood politicos, but like most things it got significantly worse over the last six years or so. The complete and utter shamelessness of our most prominent public servants was captured most succinctly in speech by Donald Trump's "EXCUSE ME," which he used to interrupt people whose line of questioning he did not like by accusing them of interrupting him. Then he'd say some random crap he thought was more advantageous to him. But even less masterful scammers have learned to either start yelling at their interlocutor that they're a biased hack who hates America, or just start talking about something else. |

Ever wonder what your favorite athlete does when they just aren't playing very well? Do they watch a Will Ferrell comedy? Play Mario Kart with their kids? Suffer a fit of deep, existential angst? We wanted to know, too. Welcome to How I Take an L. For our inaugural edition, we talked to Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler, who is known—probably even more than he is for being a perennial all-pro—as being the most-aware-that-fantasy-football-is-a-thing-football-player around, bantering with fans who hedge their bets on every yard. Ekeler, 27, lets us in on what actually pisses him off about fantasy die-hards, using 'League of Legends' as post-loss therapy, and what it feels like to get beat by the Patriots. |

I'm never having children. It's a decision I made at a very young age and have never wavered from. There are a number of things I can point to in my childhood that led me to this decision. The town I lived in when I was young had the highest teenage pregnancy rate per capita in the entire state, which means I grew up doing my damndest to avoid procreating. My own parents were married when they had me, just to different people, meaning that my mere existence definitely complicated things for both of them. The list goes on. Simply stated, for a plethora of reasons, from emotional to financial, raising another human being full-time is not for me. Yet during the pandemic, I felt a new responsibility to show up as support to family members and friends with children. |
