At a high level, yes, but the details make a difference.

One of the writers is Jocelyn Bioh.

I’m surprised Old Fashioned didn’t rank better in more places. They seem to have made a resurgence in recent years. I live in Southern California, which should have more tequila than average, but everywhere with a cocktail menu here has their own variation on the Old Fashioned, often as one of the first choices.  Typi…

The ones who vote for Trump would not consider it a badge of honor to vote for Hillary.  There are a large contingent in rural and suburban areas who are proud to tell you they’ll vote for Trump.  The ones who are proud to tell you that they’ll vote for Hillary at worst didn’t bother to show up to vote, but they…

Except Swift wasn’t in that 53%. Her change of heart wasn’t in how she voted but in the decision to talk about it. There is virtually no personal upside to a celebrity being open about their politics like that, because they know they’ll just be attacked from both sides for doing it.

The stock market isn’t about trading currency, it’s about trading equity in real things (though some of the individual stocks within it have no tangible value). The nations that back traditional currency have intrinsic value, and will trade tangible things for their currency. If a solvent nation adopts a…

That’s exactly how it works for the index funds, or real estate, or other assets with intrinsic value. Cryptocurrency doesn’t have intrinsic value, and there is no reason that it’s value can’t approach zero. There is an important distinction to be made between the market as a whole and individual assets, as certain…

Kidnapping is not a victimless crime. It’s one of the most serious crimes. Forget all the rest, you can get 24 years for that.

When you’re in declining health, your body has less tolerance for those sorts of vices. For a young person unhealthy habits might catch up to them months, years, or even decades later. For a very old person a lapse from their normal diet might make them feel sick within minutes.  Their concerns may not be as…

Very presidential.

It’s the greatest sin of all because a sense of anonymity is the only thing that lets these trolls sleep at night.

Judging from their web page, the servers at this place probably don’t make a habit of serving black people like this customer.

It varies depending on the state. In California, it’s definitely legal to pay a surrogate, beyond just their expenses.

I wouldn’t go that far. Most of them are just as bad. Michael just stands out as the biggest gap between his self-opinion and actual behavior. Some of the others know they’re bad and don’t care, but he thinks he’s virtuous.

Yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen a MAGA hat in the wild, but I’ve seen several unrelated red hats with white lettering that make me look twice. You’d think people would know how those might appear and think twice about those for a few years. Unless they do know, and it’s some sort of passive aggressive MAGA-lite move.

It’s not complicated. There are frequently bad photoshop mistakes like this on covers. They took it to the next level intentionally. They were featuring comics on the cover, so they took that as an opportunity to make a goofy gag about magazine photoshoots like this being digitally manipulated. It doesn’t have to…

Rule of thumb, if it doesn’t explicitly say Save the World, it’s never going to be about that.

Lots of people do think she’s funny, including most comedians (in this case, Chappelle, but he’s far from alone). The media and conservative snowflakes in that room who were the target of her jokes didn’t find them funny. If you’re not in that category, you might just be a Chuck Lorre fan who needs a laugh track to…

Chelsea Clinton making it rain with her billions in Uranium One Benghazis. It doesn’t have to make sense, they just need to repeat it often.
