But musicians primarily making their money through touring is a good thing! I don’t know if you were old enough to go to shows in the 90s, but since you could make so much fucking money from overpriced CDs, so many acts basically never toured, or only hit up like 4-6 major markets. Shows are way more accessible now to…

Boston still has a technical chance at the playoffs, they must be featured at all costs!

Or, more accurately, Bee called her that and then more-or-less immediately apologized and backtracked after getting obviously disingenuous complaints from right-wingers. Because she’s a feckless liberal.

Their improvement also coincides neatly with running through one of the easiest stretches of the schedule any team will experience all season. Sure, beating up crappy teams counts just as much on the schedule, but now that they’re back to playing actual professional baseball teams for the next month or so, we’ll see…

Funny how the guys who make the biggest show of shouting about how FACTS don’t care abut your FEELINGS are always the first ones to throw a gigantic temper tantrum when they don’t get their way. I wonder if these two things are somehow related...

I still randomly say “How do we know he’s not Mel Torme?” all the damn time

Come on, as we clearly learned in Much Apu About Nothing, Homer is proudly not registered to vote. Sure hope someone at Twitter was fired for that blunder!

This is why banks need billion dollar handouts when they commit a series of crimes that destroy the world’s economy, but regular people getting foreclosed on because they can’t afford their hospital bills need to learn fiscal responsibility.

“They want minor course corrections and simple, reasonable fixes to problems”

So? Like, if it’s not sufficiently genuine by your subjective scale, then it’s better to have no virtue at all?

But thanks to kinja, somehow this dipshit’s posts are always right up on top, out of the greys. A really awesome upgrade over the vibrant and thoughtful commenting community that existed before this.

Ah yes, using the term “political correctness” in earnest is always the sign of a well thought out, intelligent take on any subject.

Serious question -- when you pose “virtue” as a bad thing, do you realize how psychotic that makes you sound, or is that part of its appeal?

Doesn’t it seem like we could quite plausibly take it another step much further? Why not a chip in each player’s uniform where the strike zone’s top and bottom are, sensors on the plate for each side of the plate, and a chip in each ball to follow its flight? That way we have precise data on where the ball crossed the…

Nah, but now I know you’re stupid

Ah yes, I see Biden’s official campaign manager Smokey has finally got him on message

Yeah, and how come I can’t use the N word?!? They all use it! REVERSE RACISM!!!1!!1!1!

“Well, if you take it that far, at that point EVERY symbol of American history is theoretically offensive.”
