Yeah, there were a lot of comparisons to The Stepford Wives, and rightfully so, as that is another brutally honest horror movie about an -ism that deforms our society. But the Stepford Wives themselves were the victims; Rose is the equivalent of one of the men building the sexbots.

I do, and have been stashing issues of Planetary in my box in the back office of the used bookstore in which I work a few hours a week in exchange for books. Haven’t read any of it yet, but it’s Warren Ellis, so I know I want it. Have you read his novel Gun Machine?

Oh, that’s fucking awesome. The cognitive dissonance among Portland hipsters is going to be epic. Because one reason they love Lovecraft so much is in his world, the evil comes from outside the universe, rather than from our own world and the people in it.

Oh, to be sure. But that can also be dismissed as the past by the sort of people who point out that slavery was a long time ago, which makes it easier for them to enjoy his work, which requires the reader to identify with at least some of the characters. You hear the same defenses of Kipling.

Just FYI, Armitage was the name of the protagonist in The Dunwich Horror, by the notoriously racist HP Lovecraft, in which the family scion turns into a monster and terrorizes the village. It’s one of the only Lovecraft stories in which the hero actually defeats the monster.

Which he will then use as further proof of a deep state conspiracy, which will further erode trust in our democratic institutions on the part of Trump supporters, who own about 90% of the guns in this country that aren’t owned by the military, so that they will be even more receptive to the idea of an authoritarian…

You need someone to explain to you why giving your full and complete attention to whatever you’re doing will improve your life?

I read the articles in my boyfriend’s Playboys all the time. I was untroubled by the rest of it, because unlike other lad mags, which talk a lot about how to manipulate women into bed and very little about how to please them once they’re there, Playboy talked about consent and mutual enjoyment, as well as reproductive…

A significant number of women are raped by men who offer to walk them to their doors so they don’t get raped.

“Have you guys ever tried “raping” a girl without using force? Try it. It’s basically impossible. Date rape does not exist.”

Really, you still haven’t deciphered it, even after #MeToo revealed how much of our national narrative is shaped by men who think it’s OK to whip their dicks out at work?

Me too, because at this point, a 3G phone just crashes and hangs all the time. And I’d also like a better camera, because I’d like to put more into the little furry bastard’s YouTube channel so they might eventually earn part of their keep!

The Dems are the ones that need to start gutting welfare, i.e. corporate welfare. They need to rebrand welfare by pointing out that the 1% get more welfare than the rest of us combined.

Imperial Russia did not transform into the Soviet Union overnight.

If this were a movie, critics would be saying that having Trump be mentored by McCarthy’s lawyer, Roy Cohn, would be too on the nose.

But not the long term consequences of it.

They don’t plan to dismantle it, just turn it into the American KGB/Stasi on their way towards becoming the American Tonton Macoute.

Clinton’s cheerfully embraced white trash origins rendered their usual southern strategy ineffective.

How about that USA Today editorial saying Trump wasn’t fit to clean Obama’s toilets? You expect that sort of thing on here, but in USA Today?!
