Lots of liberals I know really loved that book (I haven’t read it myself), but I am wary of anyone who touts the “government can’t fix this, only we can fix it” line. It’s like a backwards version of “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” The thing is, I honestly struggle to find a good example anywhere in…

Well, I was talking specifically about the quoted portion, where he says we should shun government and “ask ourselves what we can do to make things better.” My comment was absolutely relevant to that.

Oh, well then he’s focused on the wrong “problems.”

If I were still in school, I would be fascinated to take a class like this. I took a course on religious terrorism and it covered domestic white terror groups also, not just Al Qaeda and the like at the time, it was really interesting and oddly enough ended up being very pertinent to a real-world encounter I had…

Yeah, except the “what we can do to make things better” is empowering the government to fix the problems of wealth inequality and lack of access to education.

Funny thing is, this fucknut isn’t even FROM Appalachia. He’s from a town just outside of Dayton. The only part of OH that is considered Appalachia is a very small portion of the state near the southeast border. Typical.

Yeah, this is the baffling thing about Amazon and Apple. With so, so, so much money in their coffers, what is keeping them from paying their employees a living wage?

Somewhere a conservative’s head just exploded when they learned that there are people on public assistance who HAVE jobs, because Fox News told them they were all just kicking back on the couch at home playing XBox on their big screen TVs and collecting government checks.

Exactly.

pretty sure that there are literally no rules for SCOTUS, specifically. Its just assumed that they will act ethically and that is that.

Franco invited him on stage. At that point it’s only fair to give the guy a couple words. But it turned into a room full of Hollywood elite just laughing at him... because that’s what they do to people who aren’t in their circles.

Shh, don’t let actually reading the article get in the way of a nice shameless defense of the NFL’s concussion protocol.

“How do you know this?”

Radiohead doing this is no different than Taylor Swift copyrighting common phrases. The only similarity here is the chord pattern. The song changes as it goes on and the vocal melody is different. This is a lawsuit of pure greed just because. I am a long time Radiohead fan and this disgusts me. What a bunch of tools.…

There’s a good discussion of that here:

Whenever I see anything about this douchebag, I always think of this tweet. It makes so much sense.

Well, maybe more than once...

How did the NYT find so many completely useless human beings to write opinion pieces for them? It’s impressive.

Clearly (((they))) have fiendishly enslaved all the halfway decent graphics designers.
