I just bothered to log into Kinja for the first time since the AV Club switched over in order to thank you for this list, which I am finding very handy as I “rewatch” Voyager. (“rewatch” = watch some random good episodes because I’m still in a Star Trek mood after rewatching DS9 but definitely do not want to watch…

Politics Corner has been on WoT* for a very long time. And a lot of us are here exactly for Politics Corner. If you click on the What’s On Tonight feature link at the top of the page and scroll through previous entries, you will find that there’s a Politics Corner in all of them (and you will also find that no one…

I mean, Twitter could just ban him. They’re a private company. They could have banned him ages ago. They could have banned him when he, as president, singled out individual citizens for disagreeing with him (i.e., that union worker at Carrier), when he started goading North Korea into nuclear war, when he tweeted lies…

Well, again, yes and no. The quote is that Jesus is here not to abolish the law and the prophets but to “fulfill” them. Whatever that means. But it could mean he’s here now and what has come before has been fulfilled, and new stuff is happening here on out.

Is this supposed to be a parody of the thing where people blame all Muslims for terrorism perpetrated by fundamentalists who also interpret their religion poorly?

Also mattress stores. Once the cities and county shelters *and mattress stores* reach capacity.

True, but again, a large theme of the New Testament is that Jesus is second-drafting the Old Testament. The Jesus stuff is supposed to override the Old Testament stuff.

The world would be a better place if we all just paid a little more attention to effect size.

Ugh, I was going to blame the media for the usual oversimplifying of a single study, but I downloaded the original and the authors pretty much do the same thing within their own writing, which I am, to put it mildly, the opposite of a fan of. You’re scientists. You know that your single study does not prove forever…

I feel like if Disney really tried, they could do a Song of the South remake, but with the focus on a former-slave grandfather passing on (authentically sourced) folk stories of his youth to his grandchildren (vs. his random small white child BFF like in the original). With the right research, writers, and director,…

In many ways, putting some tar on some rocks is just the same as being a Nazi, and… Ugh, I can't even be sarcastic about it anymore.

Holographic Bowie or GTFO.

I feel like the actual words and phrases on their comments section and ours are exactly the same, only someone reversed the polarity on the sarcasm settings.

To be fair, that photo of Bannon up there seems to exist solely to make Philip Seymour Hoffman (RIP) look like a teen heart throb in comparison.

I've been trying to sort this out in terms of levels, from most peaceful counterprotesting to least, as I've noted below.

First, I don't know what the answers are to all of this. We've tried "just let the Nazis have free speech and cover it with more speech" but that doesn't seem to be working, but also I don't know how I feel about any violence, even a little bit.

I went out the day after the election and bought my kid a book about the presidents with Obama on the cover.

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!

How about Bangkok? Although I hear "the queens [they] use would not excite you."
