It's just a preview of how he'd behave in office: open and artless personal recriminations against anyone who doesn't suck up to him enough for his liking. Or as he calls it "strong leadership."

I don't care if he had umber hulk hands!

I tried that for a while, but by the third day, an insufferably pedantic ghost showed up every time i turned off the lights.

Or at the very least, our nation's greatest educator.

Whereas the ridiculousness of the real media reaction to abortion is only at around 10.8

Well for half that story, it's pro choice by having someone embody a pro life strawman of pro choice people for the purposes of crass self-promotion. That part at least risked offending even people who agreed with it.

I missed how miserable and besieged by her kids the "kids are fun" lady looked.

That makes sense but i couldn't actually work it out from the original post either.

As they say in that interview, they get to write to parts they care about first and then make everything fit in with those, rather than winging it week to week chronologically.

A fantastically constructed joke. It sounds like a reasonable statement until you get to the second sentence and realize the first sentence is just snookering you; that he shuts things down by refusing to have a discussion in less-than-perfect conditions, and is banking on just doing that forever as perfect conditions…

I think Diane's final conversation at the clinic is a bit of a cheat (taking that video at face value is not the only, and maybe not even the most common, reason someone could be upset about it) but it is a great examination of the way activism can get so caught up with image, and with not losing the PR war to your…

I find the hardest thing for me to credit people from different cultures with is irony. It's always way tougher for me to tell stupid-on-purpose from just-plain-stupid in rap and country than it is in genres i'm more familiar with, and when i'm reading stuff in spanish i become your grandmother reading the onion and…

For me it was a real rollercoaster of "Yay, a Sextina episode finally!" to "aw, i'm pretty sure they didn't get back Aisha" to "Fuck it, yay anyway!"

I think when someone says it a second time, it's not even the same. I can't tell if that's intentional, or if they just couldn't get one person or the other to say whichever way they actually wanted.

It's certainly very condescending that these groups always seem to think it's all on them to make women take a serious decision seriously—that if it weren't for them forcing pamphlets on people, women would somehow just be flipping coins to make decisions about their health and lives.

I think it's good to be "biased" in terms of having a sense of proportion, and i'd like to believe you can accomplish that and have the intended effect on your audience. I'm not sure you _can_ but it's a nice idea. Like, you should be able to make substantive criticisms of Hillary without getting into a false…

I suspect you're actually a lot better at twitter relative to the population than you are at say, pre-industrial agriculture.

RIght, success being judged in large part by opening weekends makes success a real trailing indicator of quality even on the best of days.

I really enjoy how Rose is animated, which i feel like is something we haven't seen much of even when we've seen her. The mix of how huge she is and how soft and poofy she is really conveys a lot of character when she's dashing around smashing stuff and floating back down.

I think i'd go 6 or 11. Nobody's with me on 6 though so if this was an actual ballot it would be all 11 all the way to have any chance of overcoming the 4 crowd.
