“The inverse of Lolita” is such a strange, gravid phrase that it makes me furrow my brow in the real world. I am furrowing my brow rn.

This is exactly right.
He’s a protection racket that still burns your fucking store down after you pay him.

Fine. Then no major corporation should play the anthem at the start of the workday.

Well that really puts my Hoth diorama to shame :/

Yep, I saw it in first run; I was there.

There are fewer of us each year who saw it in ‘77.

Han shot solo!

This is a very specific soapbox you have there, my friend.

They should go after the duo of DIK and ASS next, as there is no way two people could have that many high scores all across the country without cheating.

I think that even more powerful than cognitive dissonance is their confirmation bias. They have a steady stream of “news” from Fox, Breitbart, Infowars, et al. that to them, validates their insane notions.

Conservatives are nothing if not petty grudge-holding sore losers. They never imagined Clinton beating Bush in 1992, or Obama beating McCain in 2008. And since Right Wing Nutters have to be always correct, they have to spend the rest of eternity trying to spin a reality distortion field where, actually, Clinton/Obama…

The nutters are pissed that this kid thumped the shit out of them. Instead of accepting defeat like the noble brave principled warriors they believe they are, the RWNJs are acting like the whiney wimp bullies they actually are and role playing as Mean Girls.

But David Brooks said we need to reach out to these people. He couldn’t possibly be wrong!

This is a bad take

Racists really are stupid.

Because laws don’t apply to Republicans any more, apparently.

Yup. Not far afield.
