Mr. Lane must have had some wild ass takes about Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

“Hmmm. Misusing ICE is the only way I can get a boner.”

actually, the review is good

Yeah, I think you’re right - I’m just going all Occupy Wall Street on the success literature this usually comes sheathed in.

Wait- so we can’t vote and march? I mean, that does sound exhausting, but...

Marches aren’t to convince the other side of anything. They exist to show our opposition, and also to keep us organized and motivated. Don’t worry about them.

Wouldn’t be the first time I stole somebody else’s idea.

I don’t think it was the long lead that got Merrifield picked off, it was the staring at his phone to the exclusion of all external stimuli.

IMO as someone who’s probably closer to the tail end than the beginning, I think chasing after stupid shit, like reputation and money, lead some folks to regret their earlier choices and decisions. Like being a dick to others, lying, cheating, stealing, ignoring your kids, etc.... Dying alone is, and should be, a

The cognitive dissonance comes from the persecution myth central to Evangelical Christianity. It fetishizes martyrs and considers “spiritual warfare” to be a literal thing that actually happens. They believe they are persecuted for their faith not only when they don’t get their way, exactly, but also whenever they

Scouting report: Possesses the rare combination of being a zero-tool guy, while also being a tool.

When I was young, like 9 or so, my brother ran onto the field during a game. Just a high school game, but still. When he got off the field there weren’t any police waiting for him. It was worse, far worse. It was Mom. Let’s just say we never ran on a field again.

Why did fucking your cousin seem to be the most relevant and illuminating contrast to you?

I read that article. There’s no retraction, no “whoops,” nothing. Just a new article repeating the facts. There’s even a link inside the article to the offending article! It’s bad editorial practice. Straight up.

Now, I usually ignore grammar, but “TMZ was the arraignment hearing” is either missing an “at” or is a grim vision of our media-based-trial future.

A contentious primary is fine. Moving the date of the convention up to give more time to focus on the general election, especially when running against an incumbent who will likely face no serious primary threat, is also fine. This article is stupid.

This is just never going to stop, huh? An anodyne story about the convention being moved up for perfectly innocent reasons turns into yet another bitchfest about the 2016 primaries. Just pure uncut Splinter. I have to say, I do love the preview of the whining you will be doing if your preferred candidate doesn’t win

The whitest part of this story is that the lawyer bought the ticket on Expedia.

Now playing

I wish players would stylize smashes more. It’s like a fast break dunk in basketball. You have an essentially defenseless opponent that has already accepted their fate. Everyone knows when a smash is coming, and there is usually that beat or two for the player to come up with something cool. I’m talking a spinning
