'Only Time Will Tell' is an amazing song. I've never quite understood why so many music writers shat upon Asia; they were a fantastic rock band with some interesting proggy flourishes. RIP john wetton

I think Slate's gotten a lot better since Julia Turner took over; she seems to have killed off most of the 'slatepitchy' stuff they were famous for.

Totally agree on Vox. They've really kicked into high gear since Trump became the nominee: you can count on them for fairly sober analysis of whatever's in the headlines and so far as I can tell they've stopped running the 'Dubya was a great president'/'you're evil if you complain about your job being outsourced'…

He apparently thinks the president can write something and it becomes law. Whatever journalist interviews him next has to start by asking Trump to explain the separation of powers.

I'm honestly not 100% certain Trump reads above an 5th grade level

The number of people saying out loud that they'd prefer Pence is disturbing. I mean, I kinda agree with that myself, but I don't quite think we should wish for that either. I'm worried Pence taking over might quell the protests and resistance we're starting to see. (It certainly won't help that the media will almost…

Yeah I think looking for a grand design from Trump is a mug's game. He's signing what Banon (and soon, Ryan) put in front of him and that's that.

I don't know; I used to think the Tea Party would get protest fatigue but they teabagged all the way to a big win in 2010.* If Trump keeps doing disgraceful shit I think people will keep protesting.

Taker's an alltime great but he's getting close to 'Andre the Giant in the Colossal Connection' territory

He could have bought a ticket for a ringside seat! That always works.

I really don't mind Reigns all that much, but when he came out at 30 I realized why so many people hate him.

I would bet he's watched a lot of Bobby Heenan commentary; his insult delivery reminds me a lot of The Brain. This is good.

I was hoping the same, particularly as their promo kept going on and on

I think we're just supposed to suspend disbelief and pretend Shute is 168. I always thought Modine was too scrawny to be a believable 168 as well but apparently he's 6'3 so that might be a weight he would realistically struggle to make.

I think a lot about those six minutes with Shute–and the time I spent with Carla that season. Kuch had it right: it was a vision quest. But all I ever settled for was that we're born to live and then to die, and we've got to do it alone, each in his own way. And I guess that's why we oughta love those people who…

'Nobody who was goth at one point just decides that they're trying out a new look, "OMG, you know the cute new style I'm going to try out? WASP!"'

Wow, that's an unfair and sexist generalization. I say the same shit about Bon Iver!

To be precise, 1) I consider 'hipster synthpop' a musical genre in itself; 2) I don't like the term 'hipster' myself but you absolutely cannot deny that if you asked 100 people to 'draw a picture of a hipster' about 60 drawings would look like Cruchfield and be captioned with an accurate description of the music she…

I think so, but it would still be close. I think enough democrats who sat out or voted against Clinton would see the error of their ways and make the difference in WI, MI, and (especially) PA.

1) The We Hate Movies episode on Hard Target is one of their best. Despite the title, they do not hate this movie!
