New York City used to be cool, but not anymore. Where’s the grime, the three-card monty, the lowlives and beatniks, the hookers in Times Square? Well, according to an internal affairs investigation, a group of NYPD officers might be running a protection racket on a group of nightclubs in Queens. How charmingly seedy and old-school.
Why Won’t Donald Trump Tell the Truth About His Pens?
Ashley Feinberg · 03/29/16 04:10PM
Earlier today, Donald Trump tweeted out several photos of former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields in the seconds before she was manhandled by his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski.

Table tennis semipro and cannabis enthusiast Susan Sarandon is among the most prominent celebrity endorsers of Bernie Sanders, which makes her public statements matters of great import to political commentators, columnists, and assigning editors. Today, everyone is mad because she said she’d support Trump if Hillary Clinton won the nomination.
College Basketball Players Should Feel "Blessed" to Play For Free, Says Child of Immense Privilege
Jordan Sargent · 03/29/16 03:10PM
Seth Davis is the lead college basketball writer for Sports Illustrated and part of the panel of suits that talks out of your television before, during, and after March Madness games. He’s also the son of Lanny Davis, a Washington ghoul nonpareil, whose allegiance has always been available to the highest bidder. Those bidders have tended to be among the least savory people on the planet: warlord dictators, colleges who harbored child rapists, the villainous owner of the Washington Redskins, etc. In exchange, Lanny got rich, of course, allowing him to provide a cushy life for Seth, who grew up in Connecticut and attended Duke.
A Terrorist Attack Is as Good a Reason as Any to End the "Artisanal" Craze
Andy Cush · 03/29/16 02:43PM
Just when you and the rest of our tired nation thought the greatest artisanal threats to America would come from garlic aioli, accent-wall paneling, and hand-cobbled baby booties made of sun-cured lamb jerky, a far graver specter is rising is rising in Europe: bean-to-bar bombmaking, brought to you by the humble craftsmen of the Islamic State.

At a press conference yesterday, North Carolina Governor Pat McCory said he felt “blindsided” by a question about the implications of the “religious freedom” bill he signed last week. If he felt blindsided, imagine how the LGBT citizens of his state that have been freshly stripped of their rights feel!

Man Wanted for Questioning in Transgender Rape Case at Stonewall
Rich Juzwiak · 03/29/16 10:51AM
With a large portion of the national conversation about trans rights hinging on a strawman argument about predatory bathroom behavior, the news of a rape of a 25-year-old trans woman at New York’s historic Stonewall Inn on Saturday night should be as enlightening as it is sobering. (Reminder: Trans people are not a threat, but they are threatened.) Reports Gothamist:
