I appreciate this perspective, and I might value an autopsy on the whole Yiannopoulos phenomenon given due time if I were sure it was dead. But the problem is that Yiannopoulos’s whole brand seems to still have a heartbeat, and it thrives on whatever meager attention the mainstream can give it. Can we just be sure the…

Right, because obviously Bannon’s opinion swung that election. And obviously it legitimizes the notion that Bannon is a massive figure in American governance. Also Bannon’s preference for Kazuo Ishiguro is why he beat out Haruki Murakami for the Nobel Prize. That’s just how magically Bannon’s opinion works.

“Bannon, who retains a massive role in American governance”

Yes, truly his greatest crime is misquoting.

It would be nice if more online publications had any metric beyond clicks for realizing how little dipshits like Yiannopoulos actually matter in the broader cultural conversation. It’s a small niche that gives a fuck about this idiot. That this small niche is particularly vocal and belligerent should not affect how…

He just wants to be loved. Is that so wrong?

He apparently had two homes in Nevada alone. It’s quite plausible he stashed weapons in a home she never set foot in.

Huh. It’s so unlike him to go public with something he hasn’t thought out very well.

Alternate headline: Known asshole has shitty opinion

Are you suggesting this stuff might not deserve higher prominence on the homepage than Tom Petty’s obituary?

From Dowd’s review (“The Tyrell Corporation, engineer of lifelike bionic slaves, went bankrupt—but not before unleashing a final wave of replicants with indefinite lifespans...”), I’d guess that they’re leaving the door open to Deckard being among the first of these indefinite-lifespan replicants.

You don’t have to tell me. Every time I see Tom Cruise, I think: “Yep, that’s a real bottom right there.”

I’ve taken to calling him Sebastian Porka.

How about you respect her choice, AV Club?

Beast Rabban Goes Hawaiian

I’ve heard a little more information on the show’s premise: It’s the story of a space hairdresser and a cowboy. He’s got a tinfoil pal and a pedal bin. His father’s a robot and he’s fucking fucked his sister. Lego. They’re all made of fucking Lego.

He has to turn himself over to prison officials by Nov. 6. It seems they’ve yet to determine which federal prison he’ll be serving his time in.

Oh, what a relief.

He’ll also be subject to three years of supervised release and having his name entered in the sex offender registry. Though that last step may be a bit redundant since his name is pretty much synonymous with “sex offender” now.

I think Superman is about to give Lex Luthor a super-noogie at the end there.
