Who has 14 truly close friends?

He leaves gross insinuations like this hanging because he knows it will cause outrage.

Yes good point; technology is innately harmless and of extremely little negative consequence, part and parcel, all the way from the primates’ acquisition of rudimentary tools through every single bit of tech developed since and yet to come. Silly alarmists. /s

Presumably this is only the tip of the iceberg.

In fairness though, sex addiction ( a destructive, compulsive habitual behaviour if not a disease) does not always include predation.

I feel like this one’s a bit tricky. Where did John Oliver expect it to go? I suppose he could’ve straight up said, “I think the responsible thing to do here is to challenge Hoffman in order to transform the panel into a discussion of harassment in media, etc” But I think what he did instead was kind of half-baked in…

Not just Alchemy but probably also straight up black magic if certain historians of science are to be believed.

In other news, Hustler magazine announce independent commission to investigate allegations that the magazine’s toxic workplace culture encourages the objectification of women.

The greatest trick predatory capitalism ever played was claiming that the bad behaviour of workers was to blame for inequity and hardship.

OK GO is like a diamond - so many facets through which to confirm time and again that they are deliriously boring corporate irritant blowhards of no musical, aesthetic or social value. I’m probably going too easy on them.

From practically the first second I ever saw this man over a decade ago, I would’ve put my money on his behaving this way.

The story of humanity genocidal modern colonialism is one of movement forced relocation and change violent displacement of indigenous people and racial minorities by the elite class and their brainwashed, subservient white friends in the working and middle class.

Cutting to whats most important (to me) here: I have just noticed the implication of the title for the first time, Trans Parent, despite having watched every season.

Disclaimer: Takei presumably did this and I have no reason to believe his accuser would make this allegation if not based in fact, even notwithstanding Takei’s universal likability etc. But ...

My disinterest in what Burning Man has become grows exponentially. But still, isn’t it time they put some core principles into play and figure out how to make all those woke 1%-ers on the Playa foot the bill for the everybody else? Let’s start with a Paris tax.
