An E-Bike or Scooter Going 50 Mph Is a Truly Pointless Way to Die (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back in May, two commuters died in New York via a genuinely horrific accident, when they collided head-on while crossing the Queensboro Bridge. This wasn’t an auto fatality, however–it was a collision between a conventional bicycle and an apocalyptically powerful electric scooter, one whose marketing boasts it was “built to match the freeway,” and could reach speeds of more than 50 mph. Photos from the scene of the accident showed the white conventional bicycle snapped in half by the force of th
How Stupid Could Adam Kinzinger Possibly Be? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is stupid behavior, and there is outright idiocy, but there’s also a brand new tier that I’m going to dub the Kinzinger Zone. To belong in the Kinzinger Zone, you have to be a recently vacated member of Congress and outspoken Donald Trump critic, who is angling for a pardon from a likewise exiting (and doddering) Democratic President to protect you from retribution during the Trump 2.0 era, and against that backdrop, you must be stupid enough to think, “This is a prime moment to experiment
Supreme Court Says Sure, Keep Torturing Immigrants While We Discuss Whether to Torture Immigrants (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One could argue that the theoretical distance an august body like the United States Supreme Court needs to keep from the topic it is debating is an integral part of its function. The justices (in theory) look at things in terms of cut and dry legal precedent, ideally divorced from personal opinion and activism. They’re interpreters of the nation’s laws, and the rights and protections those laws confer not only to U.S. citizens but everyone who resides in the country. But there are times when, if
Who Was It Harming to Allow a TSA Agent to Sit in a Chair While Scanning IDs? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes, you just have to sit back and marvel at the sheer, petty, pointless dickishness that is inherent to the Trump administration. Has there ever been a U.S. government more driven by a central, uniting philosophy that everything should be made a little worse for the people involved–even the government’s own workers–than it was for them the day before? How else do you explain an agency like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) taking a long, hard look at its operations and deci
Apparently MLB Players Can Sue Another Team When They Crash Into a Wall? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Something I somehow did not know, even as a lifelong MLB fan: Apparently a player can simply sue another team, claiming their field is a negligent minefield of deathtraps and career-killers? Or so it would appear, given today’s announcement that Oakland Sacramento Athletics of Las Vegas multi-position player Zack Gelof was suing the Detroit Tigers over the fact that he was injured this season during a play where he collided with an awkwardly jutting fence on the third base line. In his lawsuit,
