Most ironic point goes to all the conservative commentators who questioned whether such a heavily armed presence was necessary when (they claim) a surrender could’ve easily been negotiated through Stone’s lawyer... Yes, conservative commentators were questioning law-enforcement overreach! After years of responding to…

Could be misremembering, but I’m sure way back in the day I saw an interview with him, and he made the ominous prediction (paraphrasing from memory) “Years from now people will look back on me and what I did and it’ll be considered tame.”

That’s exactly where I went... especially after the kid claimed the photo REALLY shows him praying.

I liked this show and wondered what became of it. I still quote the episode that was clearly supposed to be the “Vice” reporters looking for El Chapo. 

Shit I remember Gef from this book: https://www.amazon.com/Enigma-Poltergeist-Raymond-Bayless/dp/B001O0MJ36

Two years ago she released a book literally titled “Settle for More.”

I saw that photo and initially thought ‘why is the AV Club covering the Mitt Romney stuff?’ 

Finally finished up THE AMERICANS.

Even that he has something stuck to his shoe, apparently. 

This is still the best go-to example of conservatives attempting a comedy show and failing miserably: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_1/2_Hour_News_Hour

This whole controversy is, to me, another reminder of how much things can change, and not just what’s acceptable and unacceptable, but more how sociopolitical movements can switch.

“...Their existence shouldn’t even be acknowledged.”

I misread the headline and for a second thought, “They’re remaking ‘Up the Academy’!? Holy shit are they scraping the ‘80s nostalgia barrel.”

As if the month weren’t chaotic enough, and the week especially so, I found out on Tuesday that a crew would be painting my home’s interior on Thursday and Friday (something I was unaware was coming), causing us to spend already bifurcated evenings moving furniture, schlepping things to the basement, vanishing the dog,…
