Whatever we do, we sure as shit can’t tax them to save them from themselves. 

I loved this exchange because it demonstrates some of the problems with “fine dining”: building celebrity out of people who are all pretty much the same, who copy each other, but the system holds them up as unique innovators. I enjoy cooking and eating delicious food, but I welcome the end of this pretentious,…

That sent me down a rabbit hole. Jim Steinman, the lyricist who wrote “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” is the same person who wrote “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” And many songs with Meatloaf. But wait, there’s more:

We don’t agree. Be well.

This has always been an assumption on my part, but I found the lyrics of her music to be beneath her ability*. I attributed that to her husband-manager, picking safe songs to keep the money flowing. Do any fans here have any knowledge of the marketing choices that influenced her catalog?

You should watch it. George C. Scott gives a very believable performance as an exasperated, cynical detective. And Brad Dourif is so unsettling. 

Have fun punching left. At some point you and Glenn Greenwald may share a martini!

We can start by organizing messaging that isn’t tit-for-tat and recognizes that not everyone was hatched from an egg programed with perfect politics and behavior (something addressed in Mark Fisher’s “Exiting the Vampire Castle”).

Hasan Piker has about 2.3m Twitch followers. Penguin Zero has 12m YouTube subscribers. Ludwig has almost 4m YouTube subscribers. H3 podcast has almost 3m YouTube subscribers. The fact that you don’t know anything about them because you don’t follow the media that left leaning young people are consuming is called…

I’m not a liberal. What collective action are you suggesting? You didn’t specify anything in your rambling essay above.

You realize it’s not real, right? It’s a play. Creep.

It would have been two boys, because boys are who they used to play girls back then.

Okay, cool. You do that and report back.

You’re describing the paradox of tolerance. It’s extremely funny that you expect Greta Thunberg to be endlessly patient with the grown ass men who harass her. If she makes fun of them to defend herself, now she’s gone too far and is responsible for their misogyny.

Thank you! You’re the first person here to mention Hasan Piker. Most of the people agreeing that “the left” isn’t talking to kids don’t know any of those Streamers/YTers. Their own politics define the furthest limits of what the acceptable discourse is. So yeah, in that case I agree with them: milquetoast centrists…

This is an incredibly stupid hill to die on. We aren’t entitled to seeing a 15-year old’s naked body and the director had no right to request it, you willfully obtuse creep.

Who cares? It was exploitative, regardless of how they felt about it. It’s fundamentally wrong for adults to coerce underaged people into doing nude scenes. Especially when the scenes aren’t essential to the plot. I’m pretty sure back when the play was originally performed they didn’t have two young men getting naked…

If you get out of them while they are still running, yes. 

Some people on the Internet are going to complain that we are focusing on the wrong thing. They are stupid. It’s okay to laugh at an idiot. Even while the world burns, especially while the world burns. Life is short. Take comfort where you can find it.

Just another article written by women who sleep with other women’s husbands who want to romanticize treachery.
