But Marx’s criticisms of capitalism are seminal academic works, which give them continuing value even if you condemn communism.

Which Marx ideas specifically?

I feel like this is just disingenous whataboutism. Communism doesn’t have a strong showing in the US, not remotely to the same degree Randian libertarianism gets bandied about. We can’t even get a strong public health care option in this country during a huge epidemic without it being called radical socialism. The…

Look, I know community theater is a long way from the heady days of SNL, but I, for one, am just happy that Victoria Jackson found work.

No other president has done it because there is no surer way to look stupid than fumbling with paper charts that no one else has a copy of or seen before

When Trump threw up the bar graph with 4 HUGE bars on it, I nearly lost it.  What could one possibly gain from a bar graph like that on this topic?  It just goes to show how incredibly dumbed down they have to make this for him.  Every graph that could be seen in the interview looked like it had 90% of the relevant…

BUT I do not understand this obsession with thinking that everything has to have a fleshed-out backstory/explanation. Poe was a spice runner, whatever that is. But it was…

Exactly what kind of cash and connections are needed to do a podcast? And you honestly think doing a fucking podcast is the next step?  that isn’t even weak tea, it’s tap water in a mug you were holding when you thought about having tea.

Good reference, but no.

Is it too much to hope for a “Dave” situation, where he falls into a coma, gets replaced with a much better body double, actually solves problems, and then promptly dies?

Please let him die on Christmas Day.

Maybe they’re an exHamster.

I’m going to guess you didn’t get the job. Because the right answer is “I learned that if I have people murdered, it should never be traced back to me or the company that employs me”
