“WordFinderX collated subtitles from the most recently aired seasons of the most popular TV shows from OpenSubtitles, Subdl and TVSubtitles.net”

Is Archer still popular enough to even be considered?

What in the actual Christ is that headline?

Dev F pretty much said it all, but I’ll just clarify:

I don’t think you understand; they are only calling this a “moral victory” because the right doesn’t care. The conservative/GOP/right wingers will make shit up and when called out on making shit up, will make up more shit. They don’t give a shit about facts or debate. They think whoever screams the loudest wins.

What you’re saying is, “there’s no one on the left doing this and that’s my problem with the left.” Except there are people doing this, and it’s not just Jon above. The various left-leaning news/comedy programs have hosts more than capable of these kinds of debates (Hasan Minhaj most recently has shown his skill at…

I disagree. I think you get to do that when you’re a conservative or when you’re advocating for the status quo/regression, because you can befuddle people into retreating to the comfort of pre-existing notions and ideas about how the world should work, or romanticized conceptions of the past. But if you’re trying to…

We can’t bring ourselves to believe that moments like this represent anything more than a moral victory; demonstrations of hypocrisy only affect those inclined to shame.

The problem with TPWJS is that it’s on Apple+ instead of in front of the eyeballs of everyone who needs to be watching. The choir has A+. The rest of the congregation needs to have the same tools available nightly to combat the moral bankruptcy and logical vacuum of the Radical Right.

I am not at all convinced that that problem is restricted to the Republican Party these days.

Of course you are right—no one on the political right actually believes in freedom of speech. And no entity or institution owes anyone a platform. But freedom of speech is crucial as a matter of principle; the legalese behind who is ‘owed’ a platform, over who can censor who, and discourse over who “holds power” seem…

There’s a difference between leftist and liberal. Soviet Russia was leftist - but very illiberal. This distinction is lost on many.

So you’re saying that letting him speak is actually authoritarianism, and not letting him speak is anti-authoritarianism.

I find it pathetic that you had to clarify that agreeing with her on ONE point was not an endorsement. Just shows where we are as a society. No sane person would assume you endorse her because you agree with one thing. So that message must have been for lunatics.

My feeling was, you are giving this man way more power than he deserves by behaving in this way. It made Milo look sexier and edgier than he deserved to look.

There is a marketplace of ideas, where ideas compete to be accepted and believed. One of the arenas for these fights are the college campuses. I think Milo’s ideas are trash. But you don’t win the fight by refusing to have it. I crossed a picket line to listen to Angela Davis speak on campus in the 1980s. I thought it…

Color me motherfucking shocked, The AV Club comes out in favor of censorship. Kind of, what are the words I’m looking for, flies in the face of the anti-authoritarianism the club professes.

What a weird take on what Rowling said.

What she’s saying here isn’t antithetical to what she’s said previously. She’s for open debate and against forced de-platforming. Anyone interested in looking at public statements she’s made prior to whenever it became convenient to start caring can see that she’s been consistent; the issue is that there is an…

“I’m watching from across the pond as he tries to speak on various campuses and there are protests, riots, ‘We want him de-platformed, we don’t want him to speak at all ... And I thought it was a terrible strategic error. My feeling was, you are giving this man way more power than he deserves by behaving in this way.…
