If Trump loses, I wonder what that will do to the likelihood of someone like him winning in the future. Will the threat of an embarrassing loss deter people from voting for other would-be Trumps, or will people just forget?

Heres a good question. What political film has become the most dated because of recent politics?

I think “ironic racism” needs to die, not because it’s racist but because it’s dumb. It’s saying things to shock people but using :I don’t mean it” as a way to avoid the actual consequences of transgression, making it the softest, safest, most toothless version of comedy there is. Nothing more pathetic that wanting…

With all due sympathy for people who’ve experienced prejudice or trauma, I think we need a discussion about how far it’s appropriate to go in the name of not triggering people.

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”

Oh look, another way we can only have nice things if we’re rich. yaaaaay.

We dislike seeing people that fail upwards. He doesn’t acknowledge this at any level, amplifying the disdain.

I thought of him as the young guy from the Daily Show, and then looked up from my desk to find out he had moved to SNL and everyone hates him. I laugh when he’s at the Update Desk and that’s enough for me.

If Pete Davidson didn’t look like Pete Davidson, would we care enough to shit all overhim? Because I really struggle to understand why he gets so much hate... please, don’t get me wrong, I fully believe him to be the appendix to SNL’s large colon and not particularly funny but, like... what did he do to earn the piles…

A true donut fact is the only good ones are the tiny little ethnic shops in a run-down strip mall, and they have to be fresh.

I know I’m going to get ravaged, but I actually think Krispy Kreme is an inferior donut, with superior glaze. The glaze is good, but the actual donut part is like wonder bread. I also don’t really care for them hot.

Anyone else read the title and assume it’s an adaptation of the novel by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney? Seriously, how isn’t that a miniseries or something yet, starring a movie star getting her Emmy nomination?

I’m stealing your spreadsheet analogy. The way we talk about computers/AI reminds me of Arthur C Clarke’s line about any technology we don’t understand is magic. 

Choco taco is one of those things where you realize Canada is a knockoff brand USA. Or like an alternate universe where everything is just different enough to be unsettling, and the protagonist realises something went very, very, wrong.

Marnie takes this one on the strength of the Drumstick and Chipwich. Allison almost won on the Snickers ice cream bar alone, but Bubble O Bill is a terrible pick that tanked the whole team. (Gum and ice cream? GUM AND ICE CREAM?)

Bomb Pops, known as Rocket Pops to our more peaceful cousins to the north, Canada. We keep our freezer stocked with those all summer.

Does anyone else feel like every ice cream here is ripe to be re-imagined by some fancy chef and served for 10$ each? I’m surprised ice cream bars haven’t been hipsterfied, or even changed from when I was a kid. I was at the park yesterday and the little food stand was selling frozen desserts. About 10 were on the…

Is calling it a ‘freeze pop’ an east coast thing? I don’t think I’ve ever heard that in my life.

You laugh, but I predict that fashion face covers will become a thing by next year. Even after we get a vaccine, people will just be wearing them for style

I don’t know how Hoan Ton That isn’t a household name, along with all the open and proud white supremacists who’ve infiltrated tech. They are far scarier and more powerful than the police or the courts. I don’t know if they’re more powerful than finance or the government but they’re close. In an era where we care so…
