The right to exist is not something about which an individual can have an opinion. That is all, and I will not refuse to give any more of my emotional capital to thinking about these horrible quasi-humans.

It truly is mind-boggling.

Im immagining an alternate timeline where Scott Aukerman is hired away from Mr Show and takes over for Mike Nelson

She is neoliberal. She believes in supporting corporate and financial institutions above all else. Things like a living wage and support for LGBTQ rights and whatever other flavor of the week campaign issues she decided to run on this time are cursory and only became part of her rhetoric after being talked about by

Every year more crotchety old assholes die and more kids graduate high school and are eligible to vote. If young people actually voted regularly and with passion, the needle would shift markedly to the left. Part of the agenda going forward needs to be engaging those voters and running candidates with genuinely

Mmm but when you put stuff in the ocean it makes the sea levels rise

My secondary Phillies hat is the blue afternoon game alternate. But it’s one of the Memorial Day ones from a few years ago I mostly justified buying because it was on the clearance rack. It has a little American flag patch on one side. Even that gives me pause that people will think I’m some kind of troglodyte MAGA

This guy’s type of racism is one of the most nefarious and difficult to address. He’d probably never use the n-word and has black colleagues he thinks highly of, and to him this is enough to convince himself he has no racist tendencies. But he sees black people as less than him. He tolerates them as much as they can

This very real concern has caused me to question wearing my Phillies cap anywhere other than the ballpark the past few years.

Just gotta hold on to the very specific scenario that Mueller waits to directly come after Trump until after November and he also has dirt on Pence and then our President is the newly-elected Democratic Speaker of the House... uh, Nancy Pelosi? Ugh. What a depressing pile of shit we’ve built.

I love the “I vehemently deny...”

Aronofsky would be lucky to crack the conversation of C+ status for me. He’s like the film equivalent of a Primus record; lots of splashy noodling and technical proficiency, not that much fun to actually consume, and not nearly as deep as it wants to come off as.

The late night options beyond McD and BK tend to be confined to super gas stations and convenience stores. Philly has an unhealthy amount of 24 hour Checkers though, which work in a pinch. Otherwise get on the WaWa or Sheetz train.

Last Man was one of the best TV shows of this millennium and I will really miss it. Maybe it will have enough viewership built in for Hulu to keep it going. If not somebody needs to back up a dump truck full of money to Will Forte’s house to produce whatever the fuck he wants to develop next.

His “lifetime of service to the community” plays no part in this. Bill Cosby did many charitable endeavors in his lifetime, too. He also drugged and raped a bunch of women. He doesn’t get a pass because of what else he has done. Larry doesn’t get a pass, either. Who someone is in their professional life and personal

I wonder if there will ever be an all-damning expose on Hollywood sexual proclivities with 13-year olds in the 70s. There seems to be a fuck-ton of innuendo and hints. Polanski really seems to act like it’s no big deal, like everyone was doing it. Everybody seems fairly comfortable forgetting about David Bowie’s uh,

Unless you’re a lifeguard, you wear shoes at work. FULL. STOP!

Who fucking wants this movie? Ugh. Was the spectacular failure of Guy Ritchie’s dumbass King Arthur movie not enough to make whoever greenlit this turd to reconsider?

No, no, no. The correct take is that feet and toes are disgusting and should never be exposed in public. The more layers between mine and everyone else’s feet and the world, the better for all of us.
