If I wanted to bet $1,000 on Trump using a nuclear weapon against another country, what odds would you give me? What odds would you require to make the same bet?

When has South Park ever been a source of "devastating satire?" The past eight years have been largely satire-free and before that the heavy lifting on Comedy Central was largely done by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. South Park has seemed more comfortable with picking off low-hanging fruit and serving it up to the…

Hillary Clinton did not lose because she was a pro-business centrist.

Being asked to pay income taxes to support social welfare programs isn't exactly the same as being asked to drop out of college to prove a point.

But think of the parades!

I think any time someone puts the words "Kangaroo" and "Court" in proximity like that, when other choices/animals might have sufficed, we need to consider that the writer/director wanted us to make the connection. In Mulholland Drive it's perhaps complicated because the line occurs during the "dream" (depending on…

Tank Girl is the most obvious example. Mulholland Drive also comes to mind, although that's less a literal representation of a kangaroo than someone saying something to the effect of "you could fit a whole kangaroo on this court" and all the subtlety that entails. But yeah, I may have overdone it with that initial…

More importantly, the pope demands that the kangaroo be let loose on the grounds of the Vatican, because why not?

She's 71 years old, that's what happened.

It was shot in the 80's the entire time!

I gave up after about ten or fifteen minutes. I never read the books, so maybe I'm not the intended audience, but it felt like a show meant for children. The scenes between the brother and sister, including where they try to out-precocious one another with references to Proust (in the original French) may have worked…

I think I prefer the Xbox One UI / controller, but looking at that list is painful as an Xbox owner.

Out of all the things to criticize the gaming industry for, the fact that multiplayer communities may eventually move on to other titles is your #1?

I got greyed when Gawker shuttered, so maybe you did too. Really, really frustrating.

That "aging" is a result of JKR writing for an expanded audience. IIRC it wasn't until after the 3rd book was published that the series had really become a global and multi-generational phenomenon.

The entertaining part is trying to figure out if they're serious or not.

…As a network? I'm talking about viewers. If you mean how would I describe MSNBC viewers, I don't know of any cohort for which MSNBC viewership is particularly meaningful. Are there people who only watch MSNBC as a matter of policy?

The site has scored some of my neutral comments as negative (e.g. "a market's ability to predict catastrophic risk is generally poor") and some of my negative comments as positive (e.g. "hope you're happy…"). Just highlights why it's so hard to get Siri to laugh at my jokes.

That's because Republicans and Fox News viewers (but I repeat myself) are driven by partisanship, not ideas. It's the same reason Trump voters can claim with a straight face that Obamacare is a government takeover of healthcare while insisting that nobody cut Medicare.

There's a reason people don't generally call the HP books YA novels, even though they were initially written for and marketed to children.
