I use this site both to procrastinate at work and find hilarious (to me) content to add to office-wide emails. Now what site do I use to find my interesting and “motivational” email content? NPR? The Onion? Who am I kidding it’ll be Worldstarhiphop

Maybe it’s just me, but while Gawker had far more coverage, I already liked The Slot’s coverage more.

Well, age and being able to do less are generally linked, but my understanding is that he wasn’t permanently confined to anything; he was in a chair at the time, and in a lot of pain, yes, struggling with recovery from a broken leg and hip replacement surgery. That’s not permanently broken down. When you hear his…

He really wasn’t. He was somewhat nostalgically idealistic but still oddly practical. Trump would represent the worst of America to him.

He really did immerse himself, and with him, the reader, into his subject matter in a way few did. The Hell’s Angels, the campaign trail, the Derby, he boldly charged into the belly of many a strange beast, with nothing but wits, guile, and a head (and satchel) full of drugs.

I suspect he’d have supported Sanders at first, and begrudgingly, and after writing some hilarious and strikingly insightful pieces about her, would have supported Clinton. It’s easy to view as an idealist, but I think this next bit applies to our current options (with a slight change).

I’d say it is getting there, and that is my point. He didn’t want that life, and choice to write the ending for his own story.

He hated bullies and scam artists, he’d have hated Trump. I don’t think he’d have liked Clinton but he despised Trump types. Read this quote and replace Nixon with Trump, I think he’s already commented on him.

On the Campaign Trail in ‘72 is such a great read, I think his best work, and with how he savaged Nixon I would absolutely love to hear his take on Trump. Considering the amazing reporting he did from the belly of the “decadent and depraved” beast (Kentucky Derby, another great one) I would love to hear his take on…

I came hear to say something about that too. “Passed away” seems very, well, passive, something that happens to someone. Thompson went out on his own terms, and would one expect any less from Hunter Freakin Thompson? Some of us are not meant to grow old.

I also think, at least based on my experience, that a lot of us who may have always considered ourselves feminists learn when we have a daughter how early this stuff starts and how many ways it rears its ugly head that we didn’t know about. Before my daughter I knew some boys act entitled when it comes to girls, but I…

Is it possible to NOT love Samantha Bee? She is killing it this election season!

Good for you, go ahead and give yourself credit, because even if it didn’t click with most of them, if you got through to a couple or a few, that’s huge. A few people here and there, inspired to do public service, or at least be more engaged, can still make such a difference.

I think at that point the selling has to be done by her cabinet, and of course the never-electrifying-but-always-affable Tim Kaine.

My grandmother is 95, has been an active Democrat for close to two-thirds of a century (she has the most amazing photo collection, Bobby friggin Kennedy is in there!) and it can be so hard for this proud woman who now can barely walk and is exhausted very easily. But MSNBC is blaring from her tv and she is so charged…

There won’t be ovens, but you can see he is emboldening white supremacist hate groups. This won’t lead to camps but it will lead to violence, and if you don’t know that then you have never experienced hate violence or paid attention to those who have.

He doesn’t want to do the day to day work so Pence, who is awful, will make the bulk of the decisions along with Republicans in Congress. He’s going to just sign whatever awfulness they put in front of him, which means now we’ll have a President who signs all of their anti-voter legislation, anti-immigrant and…

So out of spite you want to watch a man assume power who promises to deny rights to virtually every minority group? You sure show us, fucking Muslims, women, African Americans, the LGBT community, Hispanics and many others because you didn’t get exactly who you want. By the way, your privilege is showing.

Except the “or else” is the reality of what would happen if Trump were president. It’s not a threat, it’s a reality check.

Because a lot of them were never as diehard pro-Bernie as they said, they projected onto him something he really isn’t. You can’t possibly have policy convictions and go from Sanders to Trump.
