It did seem like their message is less about themselves and more about how everyone in the world wants to kill us, and how Hillary Clinton is literally a witch who won't stop them. Even as someone pretty cynical and distrustful of blandly positive platitudes, it was incredibly refreshing every time someone reverted to…

I'd quibble that it doesn't matter where the candidate is on the spectrum, but it does matter that you can in fact put them on the spectrum. If the parties are working, they both reflect and cause a correlation between a bunch of positions. How extreme you are on those correlated positions won't change your base's…

The short answer is, If enough people voted for a third party it would very quickly be one of the only two significant parties at the national level.

Well the intra-party revolution is going to happen. Maybe we're already in the middle of it; it's just a matter of how long it takes them to admit something has to change, and what they wind up deciding that something is.

It sounds good, because they're "the greatest," but what he's not telling you is, they're only moderately huge, and they're the least classy.

Fuck you for making a credible attempt at sexualizing Ted Cruz that i'll never be able to forget

Except for this week, when she had 2! I actually kind of like the once a week format for her and Oliver most of the time. It'd be nice if they could pump out more on demand when stuff got crazier, but it's nice that they're not as slavishly tied to the news cycle. If something's not still worth doing a segment on if…

It was such a weird decision to give him like, a standup routine about doctors.

We'll all have moved on to Yo Kai Move by the time the government gets around to using it to spy on us.

How's that new series with her?

That makes sense. He fired 3 times, so we already knew he missed at least twice. His marksmanship's apparently just as good as his target selection.

It does feel pretty hard to opt out of giving everyone all of your data without opting out of society period at this point =/

The good news: he had a son and he was perfect…

I wonder if there's any other good examples of an organization that knowingly did so much to pave the way for a type of guy they were so upset about when he actually showed up.

It's gross old men all the way down.

Inherent Vice is surprisingly forgiving given how twisty it is. It's like "are you not sure what the hell is going on? Don't worry, you're still ahead of the main character"

I think i'd drop The Night Manager there out of what i've actually seen. Show me a Hero wasn't my favorite as i was watching it, but it has really stuck with me and influenced how i think about politics, and especially the relationship between the electorate and their elected officials.

I think the sickest burn in Paradise Lost is the devil implying that god split himself into Jesus because he was disappointed with everything he created (especially him) and could only truly love himself.

There aren't a lot of movies i've seen where there are a significant percentage of audience members who think it's good, who think it's bad, and who think it's so bad it's good, and that is one them for whatever that's worth.

You hold a piece of ice for a couple of minutes and it becomes a pretty useful metaphor for torment too.
