“Do more nuclear” is facile and muddies the debate. Since, so far, our record on running nuke plants is shoddy at best.

I like to imagine, right now, that the cruelest thing I could wish on That Asshole would be a long life of perfect lucidity. 

Really wish more people understood how stochastic terrorism works.

I think everybody would be a lot happier on social media if they followed the sage advice of Charlene the Hot Mess, and only followed dogs:

fml, let’s do it again: Guðnadóttir

Also want to take a moment to shout out Hildur Gudnadottir’s incredible, unnerving score.

exactly the opposite, in fact. Imagine all this top-notch English acting talent trilling their way through some Boris & Natasha faux-Russian accents. The showrunners have already said, explicitly, that they wanted to avoid that precisely because it would have distracted from the performances.

I swear, if the music/sound design for this doesn’t win some Emmys, I’m gonna be pissed. The whole production is just top-notch.

I’m writing my dissertation in musicology, and even here, you’d be amazed at how deeply gendered so much of the work is.

Another detail I never tire of relaying: they interviewed the composer of the soundtrack (which is itself utterly phenomenal), and she revealed that the entire soundtrack (excepting the songs and whatnot) is made up of field recordings she made from a sister plant (might even have been Ignalia). So the soundtrack is li…

I always hated Hondo. 

Pelosi should look at this infographic, and consider its lesson:

Only time I ever got a speeding ticket on the Thruway was when I was so egregiously over the limit (we made it from Buffalo to Albany in under three hours, to give you an idea) that I definitely deserved it. My daily commute I think traffic in the fast lane was normally around 80-85. On the QEW to Toronto it was even…

Where’s the link to the actual statement? I don’t see one in the post :(

Please be comforted by this infographic:

Don’t feel too bad, though. Fucker has late-stage syphilis, or FTD, or the effects of Adderall abuse. Take your pick. But the baggy-ass pants he was wearing this weekend, his weird forward lean, his janky gait, his slurred denunciation of “Joe Bidan” are all signs his frontal lobes are swiss cheese. He’ll be in a…

yeah, I’m really looking forward to these dipshits discovering, to their great dismay, that the problem wasn’t on the outside.

“Violence isn’t the moral high ground” is a great stance to take, and it’s completely impossible to build a society based on it as long as there are Nazis about. Read the FAQ (which also points out: “[Liberals] are also supposed to be the smart ones, but you keep falling for that ‘I thought you were supposed to be the…

Nazis are only brave en masse, and then all their shame at their own cowardice gets redirected to murderous violence. Antifascists have decades of experience with this; we would all do well to learn from it.

What do you think the overlap is between dumb motherfuckers who think a Jewish pundit extolling the virtues of “Western civilization” counts as a member of that civilization and the dumb motherfuckers who argue that Natalie Portman playing a role meant for an Asian actress isn’t whitewashing because “Israel is in…
