So is this just a political news site now?

Somewhere along the line the commentariat's relentless snark and cynicism stopped being funny and ended up just being depressing

"No, it's the children who are wrong."

he's a lot more sincere than people give him credit for

father john misty is amazing and this song is hilarious

The first one legitimately kicks ass.

I dunno - he has a striking physical resemblance to Boss Nass, at least in terms of body shape.

So have you not read any For Our Considerations over the last four years, or…?

There are still people blaming the Bernie crowd for Hillary's failure? She was a terrible fucking candidate. Literally the only candidate that could have lost to Trump. She offered nothing but "well, I'm not as bad as Trump." I hope we never have a Democratic candidate that far to the right again.

Uh, wow, that went to a place.

it's the same mentality that makes people think that Hillary becoming President of the Woods makes her vital to the Resistance

I think it's a sad reflection of how each generation of entertainers kind of has to overthrow the old one. The AV Club was the young edgy upstart then; now it's the boring hall-monitor establishment. A new generation of satirists and comedians is emerging, and I think Clickhole is the only one of the Onion's sister…

On the one hand hell yeah

I think the fact that the protests over the last week and a half have been as massive as they have been is a good indication that that narrative is being countered right now. The key will be keeping it up.

It's not that we all got super conservative, it's that everyone who wasn't a right winger decided "well, we won" and sat on our asses and stopped doing anything that might have prevented this from happening. We completely gave up on trying to accomplish anything on a local level because, eh, our victory is inevitable…

No joy in the era of Trump. No nice things. In the mornings we must wake ourselves with our own screams, and cry ourselves to sleep at night. In between we wear black and remain silent.

I think, with Trump's election, we're seeing the collapse of the idea that pop culture should be the front line of resistance against the forces of bigotry and inequality.

Uh… no. This is stupid.

There was immense potential for a follow-up but frankly someone else should have been in charge of it. Miller was already running out of steam fast when the first one came out.

The Sin City visual style is really amazing, and it's a shame that only the first was able to deliver on it.
