You’re versatility with writing these After Dark articles and covering other news is remarkable, thank you for this.

I love this! Thank you! I’m going to ask my teenage son to read it.

oh I’m sorry, did Woody Allen not marry someone who was in his family unit? That he’s been quoted as saying he acted “paternal” towards?

woody allen disgusts me, as do the people who continue to defend him. I used to believe there was a gray area, then I read the actual court records. all 33 stomach-turning pages. Diane Keaton is either being willfully ignorant here (unforgivable, IMO) or she knows the truth and doesn’t care (ditto).

Diane saying “I dont know her” is stone cold

I liked this scene, but two questions:

a massive silo collapse, which spilled 10,000 tons of corn across the road.

Did this deal in November. It’s tough to get out of the mandatory tours because they will change cities and hotels almost every day. Those tours are government sponsored spots (Jade, Silk, Pearl and Tea factories, among others) They eat up a big chunk of time and prices are very high. However, they do take you to…

As a Chinese person I agree with this message wholeheartedly. I’m flying into PEK for $550 roundtrip with a transfer in Vancouver so there are definitely deals without going the guided tour route.

I hope (wish) it’s from a reputed travel agency. What people should be wary of is that the agency won’t just sell you to a local agency there. This happens A LOT in the Chinese community when it comes to traveling to the Mainland China. The agency there will then focus more on “persuading” people to buy from the…

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows

I thought it was a sandworm of Dune.

I think we should just Robespierre the whole system.

Electing Trump is just the latest evidence that America never had a soul to begin with.

Sounds like there’s a lot of genetics there — it’s clear from anybody looking that DJT struggles with some variant on undiagnosed ADHD or dyslexia (certainly oppositional defiant disorder; he punched his music teacher in Queens when he didn’t want to learn the lesson, which was the triggering incident that caused his…

But they’re not doing anything to stop the bots themselves before they get started on yet another disinformation campaign. Yeah, that’ll help.

My biggest fear is ICE - they have become our very own secret fascist police. They wait at schools with children to trap parents. They drag people from courtrooms. They pull people off of streets. And they house them in detention centers and force them to work against their will.

I second this.

If it had ever had a soul, he wouldn’t be President at all. All those virtues we like to imagine America has have come on the backs and at the expense of indigenous people and by exploiting African Americans. Our values are expansion and hegemony at any cost. There is no soul. It’s a lie we tell ourselves so we can…
