This is most likely a side effect of everyone using studio magic and overproduction. Nobody knows what good-not-great professional singers actually sound like anymore. I honestly was expecting far worse from her.

"... And a serial batterer of women."

You know, I rather liked the first book. And the next few were OK. But by book six or so I just flat out gave up. He cranked out a few dozen I think....

You could throw in Wild Cards into this mix as well.

While I agree about Snow Crash veering (it was a brilliant satire and...oh, you mean the deliverator ISN'T some loser self-aggrandizing? Oh.), Anathem was terrible. A pretty standard, though interesting plot slowed down by five hundred pages of psuedophilosophical wanking. It wasn't just that it was trite rehashes of…

I had such high hopes for this, and stuck around for hoping they'd return to what it so good in the beginning.

My sister's friend tried hitting me up for advice (and money) to buy a gaming store and space in eastern Maryland. I asked him for just a rudimentary breakdown of costs and he couldn't even tell me how much the rent was per month, how long the lease was, what comparable rents in the area were, and whether he could…

Toddlers and cat in fridge, butter on countertop.

The only thing more American than that last entry would be to smear yourself in red, white, and blue hamfat and streak through the streets screaming "AMERICA, MOTHERFUCKERS! USA! USA! USA!"

This is Foxtrot Alpha, shitknuckle.

Posting for others who may not have heard it before. Damn Tom Lehrer is great.

Shutting your eyes and plugging your ears from what happens in the world doesn't make it go away. This is a sub blog.

Vonce ze rockets go up, who cares vere zey come down?

Where is your video that you spent years of your life creating Invertex? Yeah.. Easy to criticize when you havent bled to create something.. ass hat..

Ok first of all, caveat, I do NOT approve of what happened at the Bundy ranch in Nevada.

No, they're just supposed to not kill civilians. If they want to arrest Hamas' members and give them a free, fair, and open trial with the presumption of innocence, no one would bat an eye.

They don't. It's clickbait.

This is a terrible argument. There is no world where Israel isn't justified in defending her sovereignty against Hamas' actions. The problem is their Zionist leadership is clearly disregarding civilian life in the way they are operating.

The "human shields" myth is just that, a myth. There is no significant evidence which demonstrates that Hamas actually does what they're accused of doing in this regard. Again, you can't just fire into a densely-populated place like Gaza, kill a bunch of civilians, and then say, "Well, it's their own fault, because…

No, what I said is very true. Lip-service notwithstanding, every single real-world action Israel is taking undermines the statehood of the Palestinian people. They claim that Gaza is independent (lip-service), but they maintain an economic blockade, control the movement of Gazans, and command its airspace. The illegal…
