Watching Football Increases Crime →
This pretty much sums how I feel about all sports.
“We test this hypothesis using data on police reports of family violence on Sundays during the professional football season. Controlling for location and time fixed effects, weather factors, the pre-game point spread, and the size of the local viewing audience, we find that upset losses by the home team (losses in games that the home team was predicted to win by more than 3 points) lead to an 8 percent increase in police reports of at-home male-on-female intimate partner violence. There is no corresponding effect on female-on-male violence. Consistent with the behavioral prediction that losses matter more than gains, upset victories by the home team have (at most) a small dampening effect on family violence. We also find that unexpected losses in highly salient or frustrating games have a 50% to 100% larger impact on rates of family violence.”

“ You wonder why the children of America are so obsessed with death? You wonder why rock groups that look like corpses and zombie comic-book heroes are so goddamn popular here? It’s just the same way your Victorians loved their tombs and seances and murders. The American Empire is dead and does not know it. Like your empire before it, it’s only aware of it in its sleep.

![A little misleading since the Iraq War and bailout are multi-year projects while everything else is per annum, but still fun. Especially love seeing the scale of Russian official bribes next to Google.

And Matthew explains why the corn industry has its sticky hands wrapped around America’s … uh … you get the picture.
Trying to glamorize candy corn will do nothing to its shitty taste.The taste of wax, chalk and some sort of watered-down honeycheese product continues to be for the children.
It’s October. Talk shit about candy corn and I’ll carve out your tongue with this goddamn plastic-handled pumpkin saw.
BTW, these are the actual industry-approved candy corn ingredients:
1. Yellow
2. Orange
3. Corn Syrup
4. White
5. Fucking delicious
