Now the country is in the classic tourist dilemma: if the tourism continues to increase, it will continue to destroy all the things that people liked about the country in the first place, given that all the quaint stuff is being replaced with the tourism industry; if it doesn’t continue to increase, the economy will…

Well, because it’s not a fact, actually. That the First Amendment does not protect only from police action is a fact, which you can find out with a little research. The case law and precedents on this are long and complex, but it is simply, factually, historically inaccurate to say that the First Amendment has no…

No, the First Amendment protects you from the government. Freedom of speech is a far larger, broader concept. And thank god: if the only protections of free expression were freedom from being jailed, your employed could read this comment and fire you for it. Or fire you for having a campaign sign on your lawn. Or fire…

I don’t have any problem with this activist snatching that flag. I think it’s great. But freedom of speech is not restricted to the First Amendment, and it’s a terrible mistake for the left to think that it is.

Given that Jeff Sessions sits in the single most powerful legal office in the country, I’d say the government more than tolerates their existence.

remember the good times

how is it possible that you get rid of the Maloofs and your ownership situation actually gets worse

This post is the identical sentiment to that story about how Pauline Kael was shocked by Nixon winning and said “How could he have won? No one I know voted for him.”

I got paid to go on Al-Jazeera and talk about polygamy once. They called it an honorarium and the other (anti-polygamy) guest got it too I think.

I think if you’re lifting weights the key is to rest a particular muscle group - no back-to-back days of the same group, obviously, but also to avoid doing shoulder day after chest day, etc. No lunges the day after hard squats. That sort of thing.

People constantly ask that Nintendo function more like other developers in all sorts of ways. This is them functioning more like other developers, and people hate it. IDGI.

Truly waterproof too. I have the Bugaboot IIs.

A classic example of a game that I knew I would love if I was just good enough at it, but my terrible ability at video games held me back.

I LOVE Tri-Force heroes.... because I always play with my two brothers, which is perfect.

No, I want to make the case that there is such a thing as political resources, and that we have already spent far, far too many focusing on a fringe figure with a very limited influence when terrible forces already control everything. Which, as you already know, is not “defending Spencer.”

What about the guy who has the nuclear codes? Don’t you think that’s a more pressing issue?

and the next day, the horror began

But, again, what does punching accomplish? What is the purpose of the action? What is your goal, and how does the tactic of punching get you closer to that goal?

But, of course, slugging Richard Spencer doesn’t do anything. Richard Spencer controls nothing. Meanwhile, a revanchist political movement led by a nativist demagogue has control of the White House, Congress, and a large majority of state legislatures and governor seats. None of that can be changed by punching. But we…
