Let’s hope this doesn’t happen in November with Bernie supporters (I’m one of them) voting for Jill Stein as a protest candidate.

Him x 17m right now.

Remember: Don’t buy tropical fish for pets just because you saw pretty colours on a screen.

I have a friend whose grown daughter struggled in school, but was bright and curious. She graduated from high school and got an associate’s degree from a community college, and is semi-independent. I don’t know the name of her diagnosis (beyond being on the autism spectrum), but she’s *profoundly* naive. She has no…

considering that battery energy density is improving dramatically from decade to decade and commercial planes are probably 20 years away, factoring in new technologies, there is every chance that this could be a feasible replacement for jet engines. Also, because large planes land at large facilities the idea of…

Goddamn, you are catching an inordinate amount of shit for this. I’ll admit, I was on the fence until that baby decided to go chapter and verse from the Manifesto; now, I’m mostly wondering just how weird the comments are going to get.

Ehhh, the point of Into Darkness was arguably to stop Starfleet from becoming a bellicose military establishment, but they are the Federation’s military.

Followed by, “Her smile is so fake.”

Republicans have been screaming for decades that you should hate and distrust Hillary, using weasel words like “shrill” and baseless accusations like “Benghazi.”

Short version of David Brooks article: “Smile! Why aren’t you smiling?”

It’s also hard watching folks parrot the talking points of the right while attacking her from the left, all with the smarm and sexism folks claim they fight against. In the past week I’ve seen people talk about “not having a dog in the fight” against those trying limit women’s reproductive rights (because the…

Is trying so hard to be a troll exhausting, or do you genuinely get pleasure from it?

yeah, i don’t disagree with you on the identity politics nightmare of the dem race right now at all, but it is still incredibly remarkable to me that david brooks pinpoints neither her record or her gender as the source of unlikability — and instead brings up the fact that she needs HOBBIES

“Hillary Clinton (who is imperfect and corruptible but an competent and experienced center-left public servant)...”
