All the conflicted anti-hero chickens are coming home to roost. Good and evil are apparently outdated concepts, and all that matters anymore is if you’re badass.

Rick and Morty sometimes parodies the dark hyper competent anti-hero trope of the last decade—Rick can be a heightened version of Walter White, genius asshole. As toxic as WW fanboys were, Rick fanboys are even worse, because they’re idolizing a comic exaggeration
As someone who had their mind blown during Fight Club’s theatrical run: THIS. The way manbaby fuckheads have co-opted the movie makes me reluctant to talk openly about how much I like it these days.
At which point Swift then releases a song trashing Rowling, but stays vague about it.
This is what comes of taxing investment income at substantially less than labor earnings. Money builds up in huge piles, it sloshes around, builds up, gropes around blindly for places to park itself and grow. Even with palatial homes and yachts and cars and trophy wives and multiple passports and Senate seats, beyond…
Politics Corner - Health Care is front and center again, and whether or not the nation realizes that in time will be decisive in how this all plays out for all of us. I wrote yesterday about the Graham Cassidy plan, which I said was a real threat, but I understated the level of the threat. Reports today say that the…
Dr. Lawyer gets it. Punching down on liberals who, come to find out, aren’t really all rich San Francisco fart smellers, but in reality are the majority of weakest and most in need among us, is no longer a good look.

I think the issue is that lesbian sex is not part of mainstream culture. Girls who are into girls are not inundated with images of the type of sex they will be having - straight girls see and read about men and women having interecourse and the woman coming. So straight girls think that is what is supposed to happen,…
I think that if you ARE truly a demisexual, then you don’t want to bang a random cutie for fun. (FWIW, I fit the definition of this word but will never identify myself as one because the parsing of sexual identities into ever-smaller categories exhausts me). I mean, the whole idea of a hook up freaked me out when I…
So I have always defined myself in these terms (I have never been attracted to someone on sight, and I don’t find myself attracted to someone until I have formed an emotional bond) but I take strong issue with it being defined as an “orientation” in the same way that being gay or straight or bi or what have you is. It…
I expect a lot of guys are wholly appreciative of the feminist movement for making young women feel like prudes if they don’t sleep around.
That actually makes a lot of sense, and it makes me sad that people who don’t want to jump into bed right away have to use a seven-syllable word to get potential romantic partners to back off.
A million times this. I’m “demisexual,” which is a word I think is dumb and never use. But on the other hand, I’ve been with my partner for 15 years, so who really cares. It’s easy for me not to need or value the word.
And Monica/Chandler is a great example of you can have a couple be in a healthy relationship on a TV show and not have it be boring.
Ugh, this is all they had to do to ruin porn; associate it with Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee.
“Republicans run stunt candidates, they’re stupid, ignorant, horrible racists and misogynists.”
Jerry Springer was the Mayor of Cincinnati for years before his tv career.
She’s famous because she’s a pretty blonde lady whose reprehensible beliefs line up with other people’s reprehensible beliefs. That’s it.
I can’t remember any episodes where the theme was “everyone is equally bad.”
That false equivalence bullshit has irritated me for a long time. “One side actively wants to deny basic civil rights for millions and indirectly kill hundreds of thousands more through denial of basic care, but the other side is a little sanctimonious and preachy so they both suck.”
