I think there’s another consideration that Salty didn’t mention here and that’s the fact that this is in a town with a population of 20k. And yeah, not all smallish towns are the same, but in my experience, finding a good restaurant becomes increasingly difficult as the town size decreases. Now, 20k is large enough…

Marc is an asshole who knows he shouldn’t be.

Essentially: “You are not allowed to talk about my art unless you are heaping glowing praise upon it.”

It’s such a great juxtaposition between Maron & Phillips- One guy, who spent decades failing until he succeeded, and looks at adverse response as an opportunity to hone & improve. The other guy is Todd Phillips.

There’s something really ironic about people who want to make edgy, provocative comedy and expect mainstream success and undivided acclaim for it.

It’s sort of like if nine out of ten medical experts told you to never bash in you skull with a hammer, they’d say “But what about that one who said it’s okay? I’m gonna trust him because he must know something the others don’t!”

At first I thought the "Hopelessly Partisan" thing was a gag, but then I zoomed in on the image, and by god it's right there. And then I chuckled. And then I realized that 40% of the country will believe it. And then I got a headache.

I literally just explained why. Vapers act like assholes and vape where they shouldn’t far more often than smokers. Nobody pulls out a cigarette in a restaurant or movie theater and just lights up. And even in places where they’re technically legally allowed but social norms discourage it, smokers generally at with…

If a cigarette smoker has the audacity to fucking light up in the middle of a restaurant patio, then goddamn yes they deserve the same treatment.

According to Marco Rubio that wasn’t a real request.

They aren’t the majority. They’re just the loudest voices.

Agree.  Smoke smell vs something that smells like Willy Wonka’s farts.

Will the waitstaff also smack the back of the vapist’s head for me? Because that’s really what I want, but I already tucked the tablecloth into my shirt.

So. Bunch of people are like, oh boy, how about all these crimes we’re doing, one guy says NOT CRIMES ALSO LET’S NOT TEXT ABOUT THE CRIMES and Trump’s case is closed.

Um, Joe Biden allowed his son to do something? Allowed? ALLOWED his 40-something song to accept a job offer? Good lord and sweet baby jeebus, in what universe is it even remotely reasonable to talk as though Biden should have control over what a grown man does for a living?

It’s amazing that, at her age, her plans are quite firm.

Truth is always a defense to defamation and well, I wouldn’t put money up against “Elizabeth Warren fucks” is all I’m saying.  

That Warren tweet about actually being a Cougar (of the Houston variety) is magical.

Right? As if failsons of prominent US politicians haven’t been landing cushy job titles on the backs of their last names since the dawn of time. Is this kind of nepotism-adjacent behavior questionable? Yeah, probably. But politicians’ offspring has been the US’s top export for the last 100 years or so.

My parents live on 71_1/2 street. It’s a nightmare. Sometimes you have to enter it 71 1/2 street, sometimes 71.5 street, sometimes 71st 1/2 street. Not just for ordering food, but for anything. It fucking sucks.
