45 doesn’t know shit about a good steak, either.

Ditto. I am not CBS’s demo, and I’m constantly saying, “That sounds like a dumb show, that’ll never last,” and it lasts for 23 seasons.

Recently I had a conservative take the stance that government funded lunches are terrible, so why bother funding them? I didn’t have time to ask about the right’s reaction to Michelle’s flawed but well-meaning plans (I’ve heard that kids didn’t eat the healthy food, and it just went to waste).

What good does that do, really? Farmers work with hazardous chemicals all day long. Sure, it goes on food (indirectly, for the most part). Yes, my father was employed by a Monsanto competitor and he said over and over that Roundup was 100% harmless to humans, but what does acknowledgement of this fact do for anyone?…

Usually I say no, but every year I get a wine slushie at the California State Fair (or four), so you do you.

(BTW, the Forbes link is broken)

I’m struggling with the Huffpost article and the way the study is framed. Doesn’t it basically say that the wage gap does still exist, but that it’s smaller? Further, doesn’t it also say that a gap in wages is mostly due to patriarchal career stereotypes? Lastly, would you be happy to make 6% less, starting today? …

That *is* fun, thanks! Jipijapa.

Spoken like a true Placer resident.

I walked away saying it was good-but-not-great as far as superhero movies went, but it’s obvious missed the point even as a white male feminist ally.

Wow Jeff Sessions reads Kotaku!

I live in Sacramento. The Bay Area expats have driven property prices out of control, to the point that people have been worried about affordability here for a few years now. Gentrification is the general rule in Northern California. It’s basically inescapable, in my opinion. Even Redding and Modesto have come around…

Iowa is nice. Exciting? Generally not.

Long odds on the Toby bet, but the religion one is easy money.

It is still weird to have this guy show up on my Deadspin browsing when I’ve had a beer with him in my back yard before (an old roommate did a bunch of Occupy stuff with him).

He repeated it directly to the face of the host of Face the Nation, in the White House during an interview! I thought John Dickerson was great before that, but when he just kept rolling with the interview and didn’t bite it was sublime.

It must be so hard living on the East Coast. I mean, in Northern California, we hate Southern California. That’s a long way away. You hate... people from the same city? It boggles the mind.

No, I mean there was one guy with a DVD-ROM on his computer because his parents bought him a super-high-end machine, and we had literally 3 DVDs to watch. Sure, plenty of us had VCRs, but for some reason it was important to use the new tech.

This was one of three DVDs on my dorm floor in 1997/98. We memorized this, Scream, and Wedding Singer that year.

I kind of have to laugh. Haha, yes of course you stupid fucker. Yep, the rapist probably enjoys himself. Shut it all down, we’re done now!
