Same reason the soldiers listened to Leia’s orders on the Tantive VI even though she was wearing the white robes: because she was in charge.

Mhmm! Nicer personality for sure, but the style is the same in my opinion: using personality to bump their material up a letter grade or two (in different ways because they’re different people, but the underlying method is similar).

Haha that is true, she gets extra points for not doing that 

I agree that he's not great, but I remember him selling out huge stadiums in the early 00s, so there was at least something there. 

She’s like Dane Cook: average jokes but usually her huuuuuuge personality carries them over the line. This time it didn’t, much like it did for Dane sometimes. Comedians that rely on a big personality to cover for ok material don’t last long.

After reading this I’m leaning towards maybe this country should burn after all...

Alternative top line: “Aging conservative rapper and teenage schoolgirl, Kanye Kardashian, woke up and decided today was a no-good rotten day and got on Twitter.”

The only way the human race is going to survive beyond another hundred years is frankly if the globe is united under a single planetary government, likely a technocracy. We’ve fucked ourselves into a position where it will take the coordinated efforts of literally all industries working in concert to mitigate or…

How does an article about sex in video games for 2018 not even give a passing mention to AC Odyssey and Kassandra killing and screwing her way through all of Greece??? 

Tubes work better for office buildings... it’s expensive in LA to get the kind of vertical real-estate one would need for a battery of trebuchets. But it’s a good thought! 

Having worked for a few years at a major firm, technically the OMP says "release the hounds" and then support staff open up the cages while a second set of staff poke the lawyers with spears to get them going in the right direction. But if next year we start launching them out of some kind of tube, I'll keep that…

I don’t follow baseball much, but am I to understand that now the Dodgers will never win the world series? Why not get rid of that pitcher who always chokes in the playoffs?

Did you blow cool vape smoke in her face during the interview as required by Big Vape, the official sponsor of Esther Wang?

Didn’t realize there were so many incels around here but I guess it’s not too surprising... I’m really sorry that these fuckwits are such assholes to you all for no good reason. Alanis, your story on going to China for that “racing experience” was one of the best pieces of the year on this site, and was harrowing to…

I’d bet Nicki does it. She makes lots of great choices.

I know. That’s why I said

I’m shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that a Chinese company and their spokespeople would promise all manner of greatness and deliver on almost nothing. They have such a reputation as honorable people with sterling business practices, to say nothing of their extremely high regard for human lives.

You're a shitty person

Would that all artists had the presence of mind to close chapters in their lives like this. Until they made another album (that still ticks me off), the last artist/group I can think of that ended things right was LCD Soundsystem... Similarly to Gambino, their final concert was both sad and joyous, and a beautiful…

Whatever helps you sleep at night Esther but this was a disgusting article that hopefully as few people as possible read. You’re part of the problem, and it’s gross that you wrap it up in a half ass disclaimer about hey kids don’t smoke, then you laugh it up with your crutch dealer about all the cool smoke tricks you…
