Except middle-class Americans, on average, eat alot more processed food, and have a much shittier healthcare system (dollar for dollar) than most of the rest of the developed world. And middle-class folks in the countries above us on the list get more vacation days per year, have less polluted environments and are…

The false equivalency horseshit needs to end, and viewers and advertisers need to start calling these talking heads out any and every time it happens. You can argue with me, get in my face and scream your beliefs, talk over me, call and email me repeatedly about your POV, but the instant that violence is threatened or…

The landline thing would always bug me though...somebody just yanking it out of the wall or just cutting the cord.  I always thought to myself “they know it’s only two little wires they just need to twist together, right?”

The movie Pulse from 2006 had a transmission that first started on the internet, but eventually came for cell phones and radios and TVs. I also like how the Scream films play with the phone trope, as people get murdered while holding the phone, the killer uses phone calls to manipulate victims, etc.

The House of Mouse could easily make this happen, if there’s a will for it within the organization. There are a couple different classy routes they could take with the marketing and “interment” offerings, and there is definitely a sizeable market for “forever” fans who would love to know their remains will rest…

I kinda want my body to be frozen in liquid nitrogen and then shattered dramatically like the rose demonstration, but realistically, I’d be cremated, and ask family & friends to hike out to a remote wooded spot and spread me in a picturesque grove of young trees - either that, or sprinkled into the headwaters of the…

I’m surprised Kashoggi went to the consulate, and more surprised he didn’t take some sort of precaution...like alerting local staff of the Post, or bring another journalist to observe & record his visit, having his attorney with him, hiring a security guard, etc. This is why the narrative of the transmitting smart…

Coordinate NOW with like-minded friends/family/coworkers/neighbors about an election day plan to get out and vote. What if the weather sucks, or you work late, or there’s awful traffic or ...? Have a plan, and a backup plan, and if it’s within your means, have a way to get friends/family/coworkers/neighbors to the…

And the irony is, Jared himself is a bigger security risk than any of the passengers on the flight or any press corps members could ever hope to be.

I don’t know that the National Ignition Facility was a failure of lasers, per se, but rather the failure to achieve a particular application. For what they’re trying to do, they needed not just very powerful lasers, but lasers synced and focused/aimed in such a way to dump all their energy into an ambitiously small…

Yeah. Even the “enlightened ones” still have a long way to go on this brave new CBD-enhanced world, unfortunately. This is exactly why this “story” was but a blurb and Coke and Aurora didn’t nail down any specifics. Gotta prime the pump and slowly reveal the detail, otherwise the buttoned-down Wall Street analyst…

I think membership in a white nationalist group or racist militia is actually a prerequisite for some police departments.

Oh, the white-on-white violence!  And how both sides are MURDERING the English language!  I’d clutch my pearls, but they somehow went missing at this Emmy’s party I was at...

Even though these numbskulls don’t seem to get how boycotts are supposed to work, by continually buying and then destroying the product in question, I love keeping up with their boycotts because it forces all the sneaky closet bigots to eventually out themselves, in ever-more grandiose and entertaining ways.

Keep spouting off the insane nonsense Rafael, please. Even god-fearing christian white Texans get sorta blanched when the idea of a cop walking in their front door and shooting at them comes up.  O’Rourke already has the gift of The Words and The Looks in his favor, so more ranting and raving from Cruz will just paint…

This case is all kinds of heartbreaking and horrifying, and that’s before there’s even been substantive evidence or testimony. The slow motion ooze of the State’s Attorney to even press charges, and only after releasing some limited dashcam footage a year after the fact...the conspiracy of officers trying to falsify…

When in criminal proceedings the establishment likes to call upon the “character” of the defendant and their witnesses, I find it only fitting that we examine very closely the character of those persons wishing to become judges.

Let them come back to the “witch hunt” analogy over and over again, that’s fine. I’d counter with their own Colin Kaepernick argument...if he’s so great, why hasn’t somebody snapped him up yet? If Kavanaugh is such a prize specimen, why wasn’t his name floated earlier (During one of the Bush administrations even?) and…

Here’s an underscore why the Kavanaugh confirmation process is so critical: it’s a lifetime appointment to the court that will probably decide what kind of FISA-obtained evidence can and can’t be admissable in court. The Congress didn’t have the political will (or the foresight) to question the various scenarios where…

Not an iTunes user here, but how then does Apple define the difference between a “purchase” and a “rental” in the store? I would think if I bought something and the rights holder then later revoked Apple’s license to distribute, I would either a) be able to keep the content as it was delivered under a perfectly valid…
