now that age has helped me understand Martin’s dilemma a little better

False equivalence and whataboutism form the foundation of the right’s argument these days.

The very existence of public libraries has always been a particular bugbear to a certain kind of conservative, as they represent everything that this kind of conservative is against - particularly, the free universal access to and dissemination of knowledge. They hate that. 

I’ve actually set up a pretty bitchin’ jam band that rehearses in the microfilm section of the San Francisco public library if anybody is interested in checking us out. We’re called Dewey Decimal and the Worn Out Spines

Fuck off this “they go low, we go high” it doesn’t work. He dunked on her and she should slither away and stfu.

So it’s now The Red Onion??

Unions are the only way to save the middle class. Good for you guys and best of luck.

We keep being told not to be scared of technology, and that we’re ignorant regressive luddites if we don’t embrace a future run by algorithms, but the actions of Facebook, Twitter, right-wing, racism-denying computer engineer turned billionaire Robert Mercer, and the views of anti-feminist celebrity James Damore and…

Who’d a thought thirty years ago we’d all be sittin’ here watching Monty Python on Netflix?

Not shocked because they’ve sucked for years - but still a tiny (very, very, very tiny) bit sad. Many good times in the video game isle picking a new cart by grabbing a tag from The Wall

Y’know, when you follow up the statement that 33,000 people are going to lose their jobs with a bunch of shitty “comedy”, you kind of come across as an asshole.

“more famous actor paid more than his less famous counterpart”

I can’t wait for the inevitable “Well, I didn’t agree with so many things that President Trump did during his time in office. It’s time for all of us to come together to heal this great country of ours.” statements from Republicans as they try to backpedal on what they were complicit with during Trump’s presidency.

If only they had given fish guy like any sort of characterization and discernible personality, then I might have believed the central love story. As it was presented, she just fucks a fish. It’s as if someone made a love story about Koko the gorilla and some human male.
