I think we might be at peak tattoo. The thing about trendy stuff is that it can only get so big before it becomes insufferably basic and people stop wanting it again. A lot of kids today will end up viewing tattoos as something their lame boring parents got rather than as something edgy and cool.

If by “solid” you mean they are literally solid colours then yes, but they’re a terrible choice of colours for a tattoo.

I don’t think it’s a victim thing, it’s just getting blasé to use “white dude” as a synonym for “uncool”.

Depends on how sympathetic the female celebrity is.

As someone who isn’t a tattoo artist, I have to say that I think it looks horrific. I think it’s the placement, size and colours that do it. It might be a very nice picture of a phoenix by itself, but way it’s stretched out across his back asymmetrically so that you usually can’t see the whole thing makes it look like…

Personally, I think the whole “kids are off-limits” thing only applies to kids who are actually still kids or if they try to stay fairy unengaged from politics. Like if you’re going to go out and stump for your dad all day like Ivanka or Don Jr then you don’t get your immunity, whereas I think Barron or Tiffany do…

Even without the context already given in the above comment, I would have assumed he meant colleges just hosting their own walkouts like the schools did, not giving him free admission or something like that.

People like going and commenting when they’re angry a lot more than when they’re happy. It’ll be full of Ingram fans now, but if they kept advertising it would have been full of regular angry people.

Evangelicals seem to get their religious beliefs from their personal politics, and not the other way around.

It isn’t mentioned in the article, but also fuck the Daily Wire for calling David Hogg a “provocateur”. The guy who survived a mass shooting is not just opposing gun because he wants to rile up the NRA and implying he is is an insult.

Yeah, it looks like it’s playing into the whole InfoWars “every victim is a crisis actor” theory.

I think Nintendo is in on this, and they know the kind of reaction even the subtlest of things will get.

That second guy sounds kind of like Detective Regular Legs.

I got a similar thing when I was 18 on the IMDB message boards when I said I had just heard about David Cronenberg in college and wanted to know how he got funding for films. People were really snooty about the fact that I hadn’t seen any David Cronenberg movies by the time I was 18, and insisted that I wasn’t a real…

I kind of wish the story didn’t have an antagonist. Just have it be a regular kids book where the characters happen to be gay. Kids books (by which I mean, books for under 5 years old kids) often don’t even have conflicts and resolutions, and the idea of a big politician character trying to stop gay people getting…

I don’t think they hate each other so much as they don’t really have anything in common. They really just don’t seem to crossover all that much in any news stories. It would also not surprise me to find out that Mike Pence is privately REALLY hoping this Mueller investigation brings up some impeachable material on…

None of that is gone, but they won’t be taking their cues from Mike Pence or his ilk, in the same way that most modern-day people doing racist things are not taking their cues from David Duke. Homophobia will still exist, but like racism, it will be a thing where people at least know you aren’t supposed to be doing…

Abortion was “settled” in law, but it was never settled in public opinion. It was controversial when Roe v Wade was decided and it’s equally controversial today. Gay rights, on the other hand, kind of has been. There is still a fairly big constituency for the open and proud homophobia that Pence represents, but it’s a…

It pains me to defend Mike Pence, especially on matters of sexual perversion, but I really think that’s not that big a deal, at least not without further clarifying context. I know lots of families where the parents refer to each other as “mom” or “dad”, at least when they’re around their kids. If he calls her…

If it was then it makes the lack of Vincent Price sketch all the more annoying.
