I’m glad this shit happened, because it makes Twitter looks like the gree shiftless, incompetent buffoons they really are. They don’t fucking care about controlling hate speech, or protecting their users. And why should they, right? Twitter’s profits are already up 45% this year. They have absolutely no reason to stop…

demanding his public shunning.

It feels as though, with Rich’s “articles”, we’re watching in real time as someone assembles the portfolio of crassly abusive and arguably homophobic opinion pieces that, some years from now, will be presented as supporting evidence in articles on sites just like this demanding his public shunning...

remember, this is a media network that thinks journalistic content is video of what a person does in bed, so a few questions in text would be considered quite prude by comparison.

Sorry, Rich, this is as bad a take as endorsing Dale Peck’s disgraceful hit piece on Pete Buttigieg last month.

Somebody is still starchy Gina Gershon got tired of discussing Showgirls with him.

Could not agree more that this show is overrated. Its huge popularity on the streaming services is baffling and upsetting to me

I didn’t know WE were on Disqus. Are we back in 2014? Was Kinja just some kind of weirdo fever dream?

I just re-joined Twitter like a month ago after a multi-year absence, and barely use it, but this whole situation has delighted me to no end.

Enough cocaine to make Rick James rise from the grave.

Speaking of denial and Whitesnake, our cable system had MTV almost from the beginning. I stumbled upon it not long after it launched (sometime within the first day or two) and I was hooked. A couple years later when we moved to a different town and a different cable system, my parents had them program the box (the old…

Again the tautological fallback of “She sucks because I think she sucks and that’s why she lost” without actually reconciling with the facts. Such lazy thinking.

It must be so easy to glide through life accepting simple answers like “Hillary sucks” as the reason things happen rather than confronting the very real effects of voter suppression, foreign intervention, and broken democratic institutions.

Hillary Clinton knew this, and fucked up her campaign in ways that will befuddle scholars for decades to come.

It must be convenient to willingly ignore mass voter suppression, illegal foreign interference, and the eager devotion of tens of millions of Republicans to vote for their party’s nominee regardless of (or because of) his white supremacy.

Especially since she didn’t lose - it was stolen from her, and from the people.

I know Krueger can’t help herself

The electoral college is democratically illegitimate, and pointing to it as any kind of success (or failing to reach it as any kind of fault by Clinton or Al Gore) is obscene. Despite the rigged institution, mass voter suppression, and illegal foreign interference, Clinton was the people’s choice, and the fact that…

I know Krueger can’t help herself, it’s pathological, but this is your perfunctory reminder that Hillary won by three million votes and he only sits in power because of the rigged and undemocratic electoral college. Thank you for your time.

Reminds me of an old quote from Kurt Vonnegut:
