So Elon is like Stalin? Read a book, would you? Start with “Green Eggs and Ham” and work your way up.

The participants were arranged left-to-right according to the quantity of facial hair and right-to-left according to smileage.

You can tell when the Pentagon is financing a TV project because they give them access to all the ‘toys’. The Pentagon tends to finance war TV during the run-up to an actual war, to get people in the mood. Next would be a small economic downturn to drive high school and college graduates into enlisting for the…

The idea, I guess, is that Star Wars embodies the indie film ethic — a gigantic, multibillion-dollar movie empire created by one guy when he was still in his thirties. So even though Lucasfilm is a cog in a faceless megacorporation out of a William Gibson novel, they want to preserve that notion of fresh, youthful…

It’s impossible to explain to the #notallmen types that it’s not about them. Whether they like it or not, they live in a system that victimizes women and forces them to be vigilant. They’re part of a system that tells women the onus is on them to avoid being raped, so we have to be on the lookout for threats. I’m…

Taft was down to 244 pounds towards the end of his life, thanks to serious life changes and a walking regimen; the bridge over Rock Creek that was part of his favorite walk was later renamed the Taft Bridge.

Typical smug liberal, with your house having a wall made of a vegetable.

THIS. JESUS CHRIST. THIS.

While they didn’t take bailout funds technically, Ford still got billions in other loans and tax breaks from the federal government in 2009.

If it wasn’t for the government then the US Auto industry would’ve gone out of business 7 years ago, if not decades sooner.

The second I hear “we wanna revolution!” from somebody regarding this election I know I’m talking to someone who has no sense of history or moderation. Who has never done any reading. Who has never really suffered.

5 years!!!!!! im at 2 (at 28). i agree with everything youve posted. like last night after my home group five of us women went out to dinner. we all have some time and we just talked about boundaries and having a balance between being selfish and selfless and it was just INCREDIBLE. i fucking love the 12 steps. i dont…

This is my 5 year anniversary month. 5 years ago I woke up and realized I was done and started attending AA meetings. I love how you said that you’ve met sober women who scare you— I agree! But thank you for covering the flip side which is, you can meet women who are normal , funny, sensitive and witty in sobriety…

It shouldn’t be, but “the problem with Bill” is going to be one of those intangibles that will keep people from voting for Hilary in the end.

She’s going to have to address at minimum what will happen with the Clinton Foundation and Bill’s speaking engagements and other work while she’s in office, and to be…

No one is forcing you to do anything. Stop being a dramatic bitch.

Freedom's just another word for printing racial slurs

It's interesting to me that Lady Gaga has become this paragon of unconventional beauty and claims not to be conventionally attractive—like, that's a big part of her schtick—and yet... what is this? I feel like I've been lied to.

Blame his coworkers for looking the other way, when he signed out the car that day. Surely they knew he wasn't supposed to be driving and surely they knew he was an alcoholic. For every alcoholic driving drunk, there's always someone who let him do what he wants.

Judging by the guy's history, he's a straight-up alcoholic. Alcoholism is a disease; morality doesn't really enter into it. An alcoholic is going to drink, and once drunk will do stupid shit. Wondering what he was thinking, accusing him of being irresponsible, etc. sort of misses the point. Anyone imaging that…

OK, help me out here. Hours ago we got a "review" of Ariana Grande's "Break Free" which is very literally exclusively a cooing, pouting, eye lash batting, zero g writhing, hair tossing exercise in "fuck me fuck me fuck me", as delivered by what appears to be virtually a CG idealization of youthful desireablity, while…
