Pink Floyd tried to warn us about this dark side like forty years ago.

To answer a rhetorical question: it helps secure production capital, and later, buzz. It’s why Bug Hunt on Outpost Nine, after re-conception as an anti-authoritarian satire, ended up sharing a title with the pro-authoritarian novel Starship Troopers.

ANother Liberal snowflake! Football without cheap shots is just hand soccer which NOBODY likes. This is America, socialist! I guess it’s true that it must be CHRISTmastime (keep His name in CHRISTmas), because it’s has been a white Christmas and not in a good way!!! Go Niners!!!!

This times 100.

I’m with this completely. In fact, I switched to paying more attention to the NBA. Haven’t regretted it for a second. This is just ugly.

For the first time in the nearly 8 years since he graduated, Giri’s philosophy degree actually came in handy.

Gotta give Belichick credit. Knowing McDermott would be rightfully angry over that play, he had one of his players injure Tyrod Taylor for him.

Update: Oh man.

You blew a once in a lifetime headline.

The best song on Momentary Lapse of Reason is Sorrow, and it is not even close.
