The way it's described, it sounds like a different enough take, because the Seinfeld bit comes squarely in favor of the traditional phone, whereas this bit, as is apparently the theme of the rest of the special, refuses to take a position on which is better. Also, the point of comparison isn't the cordless phone, but…

That's "viscous stream in a cup."

AV Club is buying out Frinkiac?

I assumed the "figuratively" referred to the box office numbers…or "figures," not some idiomatic expression.

Deep Armageddon was in the section of the video store behind a hidden fence.

The Imitation of Everything is about how Benedict Cumberbatch likes to play underrepresented peoples and take their jobs.

I kept on saying that I thought the best way to beat Trump was to attack his brand of populism. He's a false populist who correctly diagnosed and sensed the working class anguish with globalism, but prescribed bigotry and scapegoating as the solution. What was needed was true populism, solutions that would save the…

For one thing, more general election voters actually get to vote!

The Clintons did the work of building up a strong relationship with minorities, but it seemed to contradict their actual policies. And in 2008, Bill and Geraldine Ferraro's condescending remarks about Barack Obama were soaked in racism, as we're Hillary Clinton's remarks about Obama not being a Muslim "as far as I…

He's actually more of a factor than Clinton is now. He's still out there fighting the good fight after the election.

The DNC, and her staff, seemed to be of that opinion. The candidates that are most in an overprotective bubble, and have robot jokes made about them, almost always lose.

I have. When I could afford to spare some money, I donated to several local candidates across the country; I donated to Maine's Ranked Choice Voting Question 5 and South Dakota's Amendment V, and started monthly donations to Democracy Spring, 350.org, and the ACLU. And this was after doing even more for Bernie…

There were more Johnson votes than Stein votes by a 2:1 and often more than a 3:1 margin. Those votes would have more likely gone to Trump than Clinton had there only been two names on the ballot. Even if Clinton and Trump split Johnson votes down the middle, and Stein voters went for Clinton, Trump would have still…

Contact is a great movie. I constantly cite it as what I wish the Star Trek movies were like.

One of the good things that came out of the election was Maine passing Ranked Choice Voting. It needs to go national, via something like Lawrence Lessig's Citizen Equality Act of 2017.

If only primary voters who filled out every form on time and dotted every i and crossed every t didn't have their registrations discarded or their party status changed without consent.

He isn't against negotiating on principle. He's against starting negotiations from some imagined center, because he knows that only moves all parties in the opponent's more extreme direction. Incrementalism only works on good faith negotiations. Sanders knows that even if he loses the battle by staking out a more…

Except the author ranked them beyond simply being a celebrity by introducing "major" celebrity into the works. That demands an explanation. I'd love to see a study, but the metric seems a tad subjective.

What's their metric for determining who a celebrity is? I couldn't find anything other than the author deciding whether or not someone was "major."

While cheerfully cracking jokes.
