Being American is generally enough for that.

I was waiting for this pun to cross my path.

It's good to remember that comments sections can get real thorny.

For good reason; online criticism is a scourge.

In all seriousness, it's going to be billionaire carelord Mark Zuckerberg.

I crave death.

I guess the problem I have here is with what constitutes "elite." The guy made a bunch of money in showbusiness, but he's not Harvey Weinstein or Brad Pitt.

"Hollywood Elite" connotes elite status because of prominence in showbiz, right? Trump was born elite and he tried buying his way into Hollywood, which is a bit different.

If a few A-Listers were nice enough to Trump we might get socialized medicine out of it.

They're shitty reality TV stars that we are to believe people actually like and Donald Trump's genitals probably look like one or all of the Duck Dynasty guys' faces.

George Clooney is off base, unless he also considers the guys from Duck Dynasty to be part of the Hollywood elite.

Hmm, buying stuff will surely silence the shrieking void inside me for as long as it takes for me to start regretting buying stuff.

FREEEEEEEEEEEBIRRRRRRRRRD!

Early Mastodon is obviously better. Remission in particular is a phenomenal album and its sound still has plenty of juice left in it. I like their later stuff, but at the same time I never listen to it because it's pretty much inessential prog rock with intermittent metal guitar leads and fantastic drumming.

The Post wasn't the worst of it; in fact, I'm even a subscriber because they were more sober-minded than others about Trump. But they still fell into the recursive "Trump said X, someone else responded with Y, the media said Z, and Trump retaliated with AA" pattern as often as not.

I think it's possible that a bowel obstruction will put an end to this before anything else.

I remember someone used to do a metal thread around here but it dropped off. Figure I'm the kind of idiot to give it another try, so here's the LOUD/Metal Box Memorial thread (at least until I give up on it for lack of interest). Talk about the metal, noise, experimental, punk, hardcore, and generally alienating…

Let us know how that works out for you.
