“If that’s how the Terps treat alumni, no wonder so many former graduates don’t...”
– The Washington Post’s Mike Wise gets it right on Ralph Friedgen.
As I’ve said several times, Coach Friedgen deserved better.
Here’s hoping he goes out with a win in the Military Bowl (as pathetic as it is that Maryland got stuck there).
Fired Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen deserved better from his...

Thanks, Google, for the free in-flight wi-fi on...
I have no need whatsoever to get online during this flight but, hey, free and novelty things are cool.

Some Books of 2010.
I’ve seen a few people on my Dashboard ask for book recommendations this evening. I am terrible at recommending books because I will read anything, will finish it, and then generally not talk about it because reading and my relationship with books is something that I feel can remain private. That said, I like it when people tell me what they’ve read, and then I can decide whether or...

Race, Crime, and Punishment →
While 40 percent of the racial disparity in incarceration is not due to crime but other factors, surely mass incarceration contributed to the tremendous decline in crime through the 1990s. Indeed, the 1990s crime decline produced a great improvement in public safety. From 1993 to 2001, the violent crime rate was halved, murder rates in big cities like New York and Los Angeles fell by half or...

Day-After-Christmas Shit.
I was going to make a bulleted list, but I’m typing this on my iPad (see below), and that’s not an option when you’re writing a Tumblr text post in Safari on here, SO:
Christmas was great as usual. My mom made cream chipped beef for breakfast, I put all the bourbon in the eggnog, and my family chilled hard (opened presents, cooked some more [I sliced all the things with my...

Christmas Eve Shit.
Go drink beers with Jeff at Lures in Crownsville because, yo, fuck going out in downtown Annapolis. Get semi-drunk and angry that I have to drive home because LAME. Suburbialand sucks.
Drive is remediated slightly by the Lil Wayne radio station on Pandora.
Decide I am upset that Lures did not have the beers I wanted available, so I go to Dawson’s in Severna Park. The beer dudes at...

There’s very little food in my parents’ house and what is around is supposed to be used for Christmas dinner. But! I made a sandwich anyway: Smoked salmon, gruyere, bread and butter pickles, and mayo on toasted white bread. It’s much tastier than it sounds, I promise.

“Rape culture is telling girls and women to be careful about what you wear, how...”

This is a damn good read. (via nikkiwiley)
Agreed. Reblogging because everyone needs to know.

Goddamnit. I am so fucking sick of seeing this argument all over the fucking Internet. You know what? “RAPE CULTURE” SUCKS. YES. SURE. WHATEVER. But protesting its existense by choosing...
