Lester gets first loss, Yanks win in 10, Gronks arm is infection free.

[Most Driven]

Didn't Mariano blow a save and then vulture a win?

Nope, no wins/losses yet

17/17 in saves

 

[Village Plumber]

Not discovering Copeland until Game 4

Not giving Novak one minute

Playing prigioni the entire 4th Qtr

Sitting Carmello for long stretches to start the 2nd and 4th quarters

Woodson should be out with that display

Novak sucks. Prigioni shouldn't have been on the court

Agreed on Copeland.

Him and Shump were scorching in the 2nd half. So why are they sitting while JR Smith is chucking in the 4th?

Did Kidd score a single point the entire series?

Not hard to do when the umpires give you a strike zone wider than the Hudson River

I'm so used to your goat I didn't pay attention prior to just now...

Is that your child drinking Bud Light, Driven?

Miller Lite is better.

The Geography of U.S. Hate, Mapped Using Twitter | TIME.com

Skim the zoomed-out surface of Humboldt State University’s alarming “Hate Map,” and you’ll encounter angry clouds of bright red framed by smears of gloomy blue, as if some giant freak storm were raining down hell across the U.S.
(MORE: Star Wars and Doctor Who Fans Clash at Sci-Fi Convention)
What you’re looking at is actually a map created by pairing Google’s Maps API with a hailstorm of homophobic, racist and other prejudicial tweets. It’s part of a project overseen by Humboldt State University professor Monica Stephens, who, along with a team of undergraduate researchers, wanted to test for geographic relationships to hate speech.
Above the map, the words homophobic, racist and disability define alternate “hate storm” views, each describing a range of highly offensive terms. Click on the keywords or any of their subcategories and the map shifts, the splotches reorganizing to reflect occurrences of the selected term: bright red areas describe the “most hate,” while light blue ones describe “some hate.”
Creating a map like this is essentially about data plotting. In this case, HSU says the data was derived from “every geocoded tweet in the United States from June 2012 to April 2013” that contained keywords related to hate speech. How’d HSU collect all of that Twitter data? Through DOLLY, a University of Kentucky project that maps social media according to geography, allowing researchers to then comb through the data for patterns or correlations. But what about tweets that used the keywords in a positive (that is, “critical of them”) sense? HSU’s researchers read through the tweets manually, categorizing each as positive, neutral or negative — the map only displays the tweets categorized as negative.
What can the map tell us about hate speech in the U.S.? That’s where this gets tricky. Cycling through all of the views, you might conclude that racists, homophobes and the disability-bigoted plague the country from the Midwest to the East Coast (or that, conversely, things are fairly quiet from the Rockies to the Pacific). But as Stephens herself notes, “Even when normalized, many of the slurs included in our analysis display little meaningful spatial distribution,” and as she later tweeted, “in the East Coast the counties are smaller, so if a word is used in adjacent counties it appears as a hot spot,” which accounts for some of the East Coast–West Coast disparity.
It is a depressing picture — 150,000 insults aggregated over the course of 11 months. But what’s less clear is how any of this maps out demographically. For instance, the only attitudes captured here are of people who actually use Twitter and have geotagging enabled (slightly more than 1% of all Twitter users). Within that group, it only reflects those willing to engage in hate speech publicly (it’s also not clear that geotagging is indicative of where people actually are — Twitter itself says you need a third-party application to provide exact coordinates). What’s more, this approach narrows the definition of hate speech to specific terms and ignores broader, harder to capture speech. (Just because someone isn’t using these exact words doesn’t mean they’re not tweeting hateful racist or homophobic things, to say nothing of those with prejudices choosing not to express them on Twitter).
In any case, the map does seem to show that hate speech is sadly alive and well on social networks in the U.S.

Thats the umps

The more important question is how is Sake paying tribute to the great on in his final season?

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Ox isn't banned, is he?

No, he isn't banned.. and any stories told hear that I tried to get him banned are complete lies. I reported two very not safe for work pics that he posted purely to fuck with me.That won't get you banned that'll just get the pics taken down.

A conundrum: just a couple more witty observations from me, and I will eclipse the 500 post mark. While not a huge milestone, it will, of course, put me into that growing category of gentlemen who have more posts than vcash...i.e., "reprobates."

I certainly wouldn't want to lose face in Snoog's estimation, but gaming is not my thing. Is there anyway to V-loan my cash to some other individuals, preferably at 18% plus late fees?

Better than VP's rate

I got your Back Ron

Just give me 3 Hail Cashmans

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Snoogy!!
You are not pulling the VICTIM card are you !?!

Please don't - nobody will feel bad for you.... plus, you don't HAVE to be here or you can disable offensive images.

You are asking everyone to change for you - and if we don't, it's a witch hunt?!

Snoogy, please!

I asked a very simple reasonable request. And despite what Kate Upton is saying there a number of people who agreed with me. They just using this as an excuse the gang up on me.

its all good I really don't want to waste any more form space on this conversation. I'm just going to block buccs and we'll be fine.

Okay, good, we can now move on.

So, ESPN yesterday quoted Tom Brady as saying he's "Throwing better than ever."

Dirt, you want to take it from here?
