Yes. The industry is all but dead, which is why so many of us now have office jobs where we can dick around all day.

This is quite clearly A Grey Man Writes/Karla Ha Ha in his newest incarnation. He gets banned, he comes back, and within five comments reveals himself with his signature brand of antagonism and condescension. Flag and disengage.

Saw Mascots. Lots to laugh at, even with the absence of Levy, O'Hara, McKean and Shearer, but it's basically Best In Show part II. There are a lot of repeated jokes and premises from BIS, and I can't tell if Guest is getting lazy, was genuinely trolling the audience, or just forgot that he'd used them before. Glad to…

Good luck man. Hugs to you. Hope you get the meds situation sorted quickly.

Those crime scene photos are something else, aren't they? You hear about people being butchered, but that's the first time I've ever actually seen it. Just horrific. Great, great doc though.

Sigh. Yeah, we have a couple of guys like that in the office and a lot more in the field. Someone who no longer works for us once asked me, as the city was ramping up for Pride, why there aren't straight pride days. I answered that it's because every day is straight pride day. He concluded from that that I must be a…

I saw Liev Schrieber do Talk Radio on Broadway, but I've never seen the film. I'd totally forgotten Stone directed it. I'll have to see if I can find it somewhere.

Upvoted for "Machiavelli with ADHD." Although I'm not sure Trump is as smart as Machiavelli.

Norton's Irish? So does he just put on a BBC accent for television then?

Funding to the Afghan mujahideen started under Carter, didn't it? In hindsight, not the best decision a president ever made.

I saw an adorable thing on Twitter (yeah, I know) from a day care provider quoting a little boy in her care: "The next president should be a girl because it's not fair to have two boy presidents in a row."

And The Wire!

To be fair, Clayton can't handle anything more complicated than that. It interferes with his drinking.

He went back to Leutonia.

Well, I think it's less corporate and more fundamentalist that's responsible for the gay housing issue, but that's beside the point. The person I was responding to (who has apparently been flagged into oblivion, unfortunately) appeared at the time to be a The Singultarian type who calls issues that genuinely affect…

Okay, who flagged this guy into oblivion? Or did he just garner too many downvotes? His opinions might have been a bit silly, but he wasn't being more of a dick to anyone here than anyone else (myself included).

No, but I do think a system where people are denied access to housing, welfare, birth control, and abortion cannot be described as free. Which is the case for millions of people in the US today and has the potential to become worse under a Trump presidency.

The thing is, "voting third party so I don't have to compromise" begins and ends in the voting booth. I don't know what a third party system within the US Congress would look like, but generally speaking, multi-party systems result in more compromise, not less - unless you have no interest in passing legislation. Or…

I don't disagree that from a macro standpoint the things you've mentioned are worse. But it's like Jon Stewart's point about offering "sweet, delicious liberty" to Iraqis who would just like to have clean drinking water and not be blown up on their way to work. If I'm a gay person who can't find housing thanks to…

I didn't miss your point. It's a canard frequently brought up by progressives who are privileged enough that they can worry about the corporate control of government because their day-to-day lives are fucking fine regardless.
