Shovel Girl is the perfect ambassador for rural OH.

Tae Kwan Dope.

They were models. In Canada. Face models.

What stands out to me is how dependent both Creationism and Conservatism are on the willful ignorance of their adherents. I’m hard pressed to find any other systems of beliefs that require as much consistent subjectivity and relativity. Creationists beliefs are entirely subjective, and predicated entirely on beliefs…

Holding the modesty curtain is a 2-person job.

Someday we Agents of Chaos will be the last line in the sand.

If they haven’t, they should! I think/hope the coming years will see a sudden proliferation of the exploration in hip hop music and videos of the inextricable relationship laissez-faire capitalism and white supremacy, both of which are supported by a massive foundation of exploitation.

This is everything. Handmaid’s Tale will have been a documentary. Kendrick Lamar has summed up my entire response to Modern American conservatism: Miss Me With That Bullshit.

The historical context is terrifyingly close. It started with Blut und Soden, which in the late 19th and early 20th centuries romanticized nationalism and idea that the rural Germans in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors were somehow much more “Real Germans” than their urban-dwelling counterparts. Then…

I see you attended the same finishing school as Blake Farenthold.

Exactly. When will these 2A-trouncing pinko commie fascists realize that we have rights in this country, and that barring firearms from courthouses, legislatures, Capitol buildings, and Governor’s chambers not only abridges the sovereign rights of Real’Muricans™️, but actually makes those places less safe, because…

Substitute “Eva Braun” for “Melania” in the headline, and I would muster the exact same amount of sympathy. She’s reaping what she’s sown. Zampolli better get Lady Di’s name out of his mouth; miss me with that bullshit.

I don’t think it’s alarmist at all; you nailed it - it’s one way communication that seeks to make us feel more connected but in actuality isolates us more. I think that’s what makes the rhetoric and echo chambers that groups like these “incels” operate in so dangerous. It’s nothing but puerile indoctrination and…

It’s been weighing heavily on me, as well. Especially because my oldest kid is getting to the age where the allure of social media and the internet are getting stronger. I want him to understand that when I was 12, the nascent Internet of the early 90’s (mostly alt.groups and BBS’s) was filled with assholes and…

The internet was a mistake. Full stop. 2018 is the bill collector, here to make us pay for Netflix, Instagram, free 2-day shipping, and animated gifs. And you know what? It is not worth the price.

47% of them, anyway.
