Great post, Erg. I would also add that, for racial and sexual minorities, they live these things every day, so it's amusing (in a sad way) to see the number of straight white men complaining about it. Most of the people saying "Stop making everything about race" have never had to deal with a day of racial injustice…

This comment reminded me that UHF remains a tragically underrated movie after all these years. It's aged surprisingly well considering how completely 80's it is in every way. It even has Michael Richards, basically playing Kramer before Kramer existed. Favorite parts?

I look at these debates more as building awareness than genuinely debating an issue long since settled. It's an educational opportunity, and the debate format ensures that Nye isn't just talking to people that agree with him. Obviously a lot of people are going to watch just to agree with Blackburn and try to…

Doesn't that bear know there are penalties in Russia for grabbing a Willie?

I have never been able to figure out why cutting a grilled cheese diagonally makes it taste better, but goddamn it, it does

My Valentines Day is working and then binge watching season 2 of House of Cards

No, it makes you 70 years old. Is your 2nd favorite Werther's Originals?

Democrats appear to be going for the candy that you left in your bag from trick-or-treating as a child after you ate the good stuff

I almost never use emoticons, but my personal favorite is :Q (vomiting)

The sound of shattering glass is not something that one is used to hearing while watching a basketball game.

You're right actually, my office is building a separate bathroom for the gays so they can ogle each other's penises in private and not get any gay germs on the rest of us

I was surprised that, when I clicked on the picture, the image size defaulted to "xlarge" instead of "bigpick"

I've found that the traits that enable someone to move up in an organization like that and thrive in it are the same ones that make people personally odious. They require tremendous amounts of blind ambition, dishonesty, and a lack of a soul that enables them to be okay with screwing over a lot of people if it…

They're planning on allowing alcohol sales during the World Cup, and the domestic leagues are run by the FAs of individual countries (FIFA only manages intercontinental competitions like the World Cup and the Confederations Cup), so they really don't care at all if they end up screwing them over. It's no money lost…

They have already confirmed that the World Cup is not going to be held in the summer. FIFA seems very committed to having it in Qatar, and cancellation would likely trigger a wave of legal actions because all the infrastructure being built for it means a lot of powerful people have big money invested there. Plus,…

The book was much better

Lemonade's Diver was my go to for a particularly messy breakup last year. Very nice album, but unfortunately it's now hopelessly intertwined with some pretty negative feelings

Long week

That episode description for Helix could describe any episode since the third one. Which I guess is appropriate considering how stagnant the plot has been lately

Kind of disheartening that so many people are saying that Ham should be dismissed out of hand. I feel that Nye is doing a tremendous public service by engaging with his material and using critical thinking to back up what he's saying. That's a great example to set for young people who are interested in science,…
