Maybe a silver lining to all of this will be the death of the braindead drumbeat that “America should be run like a business. Trump’s not that unusual as far as the heads of business organizations go.

False equivalence is real, i.e., “liberal bias” comes down to competing conservative views being factually wrong (climate change, trickle down, etc. etc.). Fox spent years building up the idea that it was “fair and balanced” to give equal time and consideration to both reality and conservative / religious fantasy.

I think it was actually. 1989 VTEC vs 1992 VANOS. At the worst, it was one of the earliest successful consumer applications, which would hardly make it less than groundbreaking.

Just intuition, but I think that might be Bear #16.

This is why all those laissez faire arguments about how markets and corporations are rational actors and would never hurt themselves by destroying natural resources are bullshit.

ALL of this, and I’d add that the “Just go to the E-room” fallback is also fiscally magical thinking from our supposedly hardheadedly pragmatic Republican friends.

We might have this all wrong. Maybe it was a homcide triggered when Hernandez called caught himself mean mugging himself in the mirror and couldn’t tolerate that disrespect, even from himself.

I always assume that people who obsess over their theoretical superiority in terms of “not being fat” to the point they feel comfortable shaming others about it most likely have just that one thing in their lives under control (and probably struggle with it).

I’m so glad this thoughtful piece that includes the thought that there’s something lame and disempowering about Sanders being “cisgendered” or white is not about Hillary Clinton, who is both, or about her record on reproductive rights, given that Clinton repeatedly said she could compromise with anti-choice…

WTF with football players — college and pro — straight-up power punching women they have random arguments with like it’s a bar fight between men?

Well I guess this one’s wound down, but it’s sure an entertaining topic. I’ve had a few experiences. Plenty of super nasty bill collectors who never believe they have the wrong number / you don’t know the person (WELL WHERE IS SHE THEN?!). A few ongoing issues where my number was close to that of an excellent Italian…

Apparently Mr. Salsman was high on crack and LSD and tried to take three different vehicles. He was Tased trying to escape.

Feel better, BM. Take care of that cat.

I did not see this frightening cat story or its segue into a heartwarming love story coming from the outset of this post about Louis C.K., but was pleasantly surprised to discover them both.

That grille is a step in the right direction. Ding dong the Space Parrot Beak is dead?

Why is he driving a right-hand-drive car in NY. Looks like a Passat?
