Yeah, in recent years I don't think you can ignore the fact that the ceremony just suuuuuuuuuucks. Not watching it is just so much more rewarding than watching.

Yeah, the Uber app is a very nice invention. And, happily, it looks pretty easy for any other organization to copy.

If you read the comments below Whovian's comment, that has already been pointed out. So there!

Ah, you fell for the most devious troll tactic of all, the low-hanging spelling and/or grammar fruit. He put that there on purpose, and then told his buddies, "Watch them all make fun of me, as if I don't know how to spell the word 'tweet' or even punctuate the end of a sentence. They have no idea who they are…

For me I am actually somewhat sympathetic to his argument, that consent between an underage person and an older person is possible. For instance, in cases where the victim goes to his or her grave insisting that they are not, in fact, a victim, and it is actually a parent or other adult who narced on the offender, I…

Easy answer: Milo's comments offended conservatives, the people he was claiming to represent. Their whole bag has been that gays are dangerous because they are child molesters, and here comes Milo saying that this stuff can be A-OK.

I was just thinking today about how "Your Best American Girl" is basically a Pixies song with the soft->loud thing, and doesn't Mitski have a certain Kim Dealy-appeal to your average middle-aged boho, and HOLY SHIT HOW CLOSE IS MITSKI TO BEING AN ANAGRAM OF PIXIES.

Step one is not treating them like shit.

Also there is the fact that if you could boil liberalism down to one super-simplistic idea it would be "looking out for the little guy." It is impossible not to notice that the person who sells you coffee in the morning or drives your cab at night is often a hard-working Muslim, who is being branded a terrorist by a…

I said, "is anyone HUNGRY….

If I could go back in time my #1 priority would be smothering Billy Joel in his crib. Then maybe I'd get to work on that Hitler guy.

Well, it's a popularity contest amongst members of NARAS, who are the recording industry, who shape the culture. The fact that they can't acknowledge the truly innovative and influential wing of their industry, consistently opting instead for "stuff white people like," is a vague concern. (Vague because the record…

Remember a few months ago when we had Republicans pretending he was a secret genius? "Well, he said a bunch of ridiculous nonsense and won the election, you can't discount that!"

LOCK HER UP

I see, so you read a story in a partisan blog that alleges a misquote in the NYT, and you think that proves something.

I'm afraid you are going to have to get specific if you want to persuade. What's an issue on which the WSJ has been demonstrably more accurate?

Yeah, but isn't this "Time Insider" the extra bullshit they've been trying to sell us for a year or so? All the editorials you can eat! Videos with the journalists, talking about shit you already read! It's like they have this little department that is trying to be innovative, like "City Room" of old (which was…

Yeah, I guess the best argument against the "problem" of the liberal media is that conservatives have erected an even more blatantly biased ecosystem that is more dedicated to telling the audience what it wants to hear. Then compare the Times head-to-head w/ another source on accuracy, original content, and…
