There’s this pretty nonsensical belief among many liberals that minority groups all vote as a bloc and that racial and ethnic minority groups like Hispanics and Asians represent a monolithic bloc that can be appealed to by the kind of identity politics that white progressives embrace. In this theory, since the US is…

Science shows that those that “check out of the party” aren’t worth going after. You end up doing more harm than good. The closer a Representative runs to the center, the higher his margin of victory. Motivating the far left to come to the ballot box does much more damage than good, as it turns moderates and…

Thank you for injecting some sanity into this thread. You can nominate the “purist” candidates you want on the Democrat or Republican ticket, but if they aren’t electable, it’s meaningless.

Classic bear flag set up. I got out when its bottoms were in the mid 30's and highs in the mid 40's. Yes its a heavily manipulated stock but the technical set up of the stock going into December was brutal. Even with the full knowledge Spider-Man would do gangbusters, this stock like every meme stock doesn’t trade on…

kryptonize tainted blades. Just a really, really mild amount of finely ground kryptonite mixed in with the metal blades.

It is most definitely pronounced log-4-j, as in "logging for Java".  See also slf4j.

Well, you’re not wrong about how bills are passed.

I loved the 1st season episode where they encounter some kind of space whale, and Lorca was like, “I don’t care.” Burnham then CONTINUES to talk about the space whale, and Lorca just glares at her until she stops talking.

In this age of cinematic universes, i am actually shocked no one has taken up the Greek myths mantle yet. I look to the recent book Cerci as an example of the direction they could go.

I think the best case scenario is a press release that says, “We consider those stories and characters to now be part of the Legends universe and look forward to adding new stories in their place.”

Glad someone took the time to respond to all of the nonsense and hand-wringing in this blog post. What the hell does this guy expect from the MCU? The whole promise of it was building this universe and not pretending like everything was isolated. Throwing Doctor Strange, the MCU’s other pretentious smartass, in with…

I mean... we kinda have to see the movie first to even start to assess that, right? I’m not the biggest fan of how superhero films have subsumed basically everything in pop culture, in how the dominant form of superhero film is the live-action PG-13 epic, a form that does the least with all the opportunities superhero…

This ain’t advanced 5th-dimensional calculus, here. Oreo Thins have two thirds less creme filling than original Oreos, which in normal, not-stupid-marketing terms means they have 1/3 the amount of filling. Since these new Extra Stufs have double that amount, they have 2/3 the amount of filling of a traditional Oreo.

I know my posting this is, at best antithetical to what comes next but, could we not maybe just fucking ignore this attention seeking asshole? Or stop calling him by that stupid fucking nickname?

I agree with you. There are ways to update the issues with women characters in the books without overhauling the entire magic system. The biggest issue I can see is that the demarcation of the two sides of the One Power is core to the entire mythos of the world and the story. The whole POINT is that male channelers…

The way his career has really taken off in the past few years seems like he is becoming the next Brian Cranston. I hope he really gets to use his full range of dramatic to comedic as he plays Uncle Iroh, who really is the definition of avuncular.

He was fantastically creepy in The Mandalorian, too.

“Wherever Salt Bae goes, The Takeout will breathlessly follow.”

Just last week, I joked with some friends that this guy’s dishes are expensive “because it’s prepared for you by a gigolo”.

I think calling him a douche is really uncalled for. I mean a douche has a useful purpose in the world. Let’s not associate the douche with this creature, it’s an affront to douchedom.
