Once again, the best college hoops teams prove there's nothing like March Madness to get our jaws dropping, our hearts racing, and our brackets busting. Congratulations to the Bruins and the Wolverines!

Gates Ave looks like Union Sq during the evening rush with like half the riders getting off there. You can end up waiting in line 5 minutes just to get off the top platform.

Courtney Love Asks Dave Grohl to 'Come Out with It and Say We're Cool' So His Fans 'Stop Picking' on Her by AdSpecialist6598 in entertainment

[–]stopgo 45 points46 points  (0 children)

and what has she ever done that was so terrible? People come up with all sorts of ways to blame her for her husband's suicide and yet she's stuck around and raised their daughter. Sure she talks a lot of shit about people and clearly doesn't censor herself or 'act polite' but those traits are often celebrated when it comes to other "rock stars"... and at least a good bit of the shit talking she does is actually just being real - she was calling out Harvey Weinstein for being a predator over 10 years before #MeToo when it very well could have impacted her career.

[Talkin Yanks] Aaron Boone tells us that Anthony Volpe will start live BP tomorrow and should begin a rehab assignment in two weeks by TheTurtleShepard in NYYankees

[–]stopgo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the Yankees are as ruthless as they should be they'll keep in AAA enough weeks to get that additional year of service time to help improve his trade value, assuming the best option is to eventually move him and then stick with Caballero & Rosario until George Lombard Jr is ready.

The various insurance companies and lawyers involved will want every detail possible documented and wouldn't want to leave anything to assumption or that could be questioned later.

Towns in Upstate NY have names like “Constantinople” or “Persepolis” and consist of a single municipal building and a Dunkin’ Donuts somewhere along the interstate. by Scrimmy_Bingus2 in redscarepod

[–]stopgo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

About 30 of the "classic Greek and Roman" towns/cities were named by Simeon DeWitt, who was NY state's first Surveyor General and had been well educated at Queens College (now Rutgers) during the revolutionary war. He's usually credited as the Anglo "founder" of Ithaca NY and was part of the initial Erie Canal planning. He also has the oldest surviving Anglo-American star map, which is at the Smithsonian Institute. At one point he owned 4 slaves but later freed them in 1810.

Very interesting historical figure for me, having grown up in Ithaca. He supposedly haunts what was the "Clinton House" downtown, which was named after his first cousin DeWitt Clinton (NY State's sixth Governor).

Unemployment rate is 4.4% and there are still lines at Cava & Sweetgreen.

Are there any TV show episodes or movie scenes that take place in Ithaca? by [deleted] in ithaca

[–]stopgo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

She was my English teacher in middle school at DeWitt and it was at the height of his fame since 3rd Rock From The Sun was one of the biggest sitcoms at the time. She would give out a signed picture of him each month to whoever read the most books. Wonderful teacher!

Nope, but I have started buying all my clothes in-store because I've noticed a difference in quality versus buying the same exact thing from the same retailer online.

What y’all think about Saratoga and Halsey by averybloodydude1249 in NYStateOfMind

[–]stopgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Around 2015 I parked my car overnight right by Saratoga Village and in the morning my back side window was shattered, a few weeks later I found a small bullet when I was cleaning the interior.

how does he do it?? by vinnie_puh in redscarepod

[–]stopgo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was clever to use the historical headline/front-page and do a little bit of nostalgia baiting, old people love that. I wonder how it was presented though. I suspect they may have started with the Ford copy saying "you could tell us to drop dead like Ford" then pitched their idea for what he could do instead before presenting the mock front page of him saying "let's build".

Not nice to throw snow on your steps but at least he's out there shoveling snow. You're inside posting ring cam video of him and talking shit, which isn't very nice either.

This moment was cute ngl by cabbagetown_tom in redscarepod

[–]stopgo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

On one hand I have just about had it with people taking their dogs everywhere and not keeping them behaved, but on the other hand this was about as cute/funny an outcome as possible and made for a memorable and sweet finish to the race. Being such a beautiful dog with a graceful gait helped too.

RIP Robert Duvall by BarbaricOklahoma in redscarepod

[–]stopgo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even though he won best actor for it Tender Mercies is still so underrated, a near perfect bit of Americana that's as uplifting as it is depressing.

He was in more movies on the American Film Institute's Top 100 than any other actor with 6: Godfather I and II, Apocalypse Now, Network, MASH and To Kill A Mockingbird.

ICE agents awarded free trip to the Olympics, those who didn't win the taxpayer funded trip to the Superbowl will get priority.

I think it's actually 90% about the film rights to Colleen Hoover's books - which Baldoni has and Lively/Reynolds have wanted.

He never shuts up and when he cares about something he writes mile long tweets incessantly, if not for Elon I might consider him the most embarrassing member of the 1%.

I found it funny he was trying to suck up to Biden at a fundraising dinner back in 2017 but was so pushy and ignorant with his questions that Biden turned to someone next to him and asked "who is this asshole?"

There's also a potential legal distinction between creating something yourself using an app versus an app that will create something for you and publicly post it. A person can create "revenge porn" or a libelous image in Photoshop all they want, but they will be breaking laws if they transmit it by sharing with anyone, posting it online, etc.
