Well, the hybrid system you’re referring to is socialism. What you are calling socialism is actually communism (the complete control of the means of production by the state). Now, this is a common mistake to make as both capitalists and communists spent the 20th trying to define that word for their own ends. And of…

Oh God, how I hate this. I’m a (liberal, nominally pro-gun control) gun enthusiast and that little point of pedantry drives me up the wall. As does the whole “assault rifles are a media-invented category” argument the gun crowd trots out, ignoring the fact that the first assault rifle’s name, the Sturmgewher 44,…

People keep bringing that up in regards to Toys R’ Us and yes, online stores like Amazon were really giving them a run for their money. But while we can make an informed supposition that online competition was hurting Toys R’ Us and might have done them in in the long run, it’s an undeniable fact that their leveraged…

Hell yes. So looking forward to this.

Your crazy to even ask.

It’s just that, compared to the last couple of baddies the GOP built up (ISIS and al Queda by my count), Antifa aren’t in any way in the same league. Sure, the threat to the average American by ISIS and al Queda were inflated, but both were indeed…

Regardless of the ethics of pre-emptive Nazi punching, I’m just bemused by the complete inflation of scale. Antifa doesn’t even have a central administrative body or anything resembling a command structure, and on it’s worst day smashes some windows of a Starbucks or lays out a neo-Nazi. yet the right has turned them i…

I really cannot get over how the GOP has turned Antifa, a small, decentralized organization of mostly college-aged anarchists, into Cobra Command. You’d think they had Terrordromes instead of Twitter-accounts given how Republicans talk about them.

It is. That and Colossus have been getting a lot of play in the ol’ Bird MILF-mobile.

The albums I’m most looking forward to in the back half of the year are the new ones from IDLES, Coheed & Cambria, and Slaves (the UK band, not US).

This was such a classic Babylon 5 style “Wham” episode that I half expected to see J. Michael Straczynski’s name in the credits. “Fuck yeah!” from start to finish.

The video artist?

Oh hey! Yeah, I’ll happily eat crow on this. Fantano explained himself nicely was indeed misrepresented. My bad.

Winner. Shut it down.

YOU LIE! ;-)

Keep fighting the good fight. Chances are you’re also the cool uncle to all your nieces and nephews.
