Before the Walker/Koch era, it was still a fairly conservative place (particularly in the hinterlands) but it was a pragmatic kind of conservatism. The Democratic politicians they elected were far from wild-eyed liberals but they understood the importance of fostering sound environmental regulations, protecting…

I offer the city of Milwaukee and a few of its inner suburbs as a defense. We didn’t vote for this dipshit, we tried to recall him, and we suffer from his horrible policies more than anyone, but it’s a nice, affordable, midsize city on a beautiful great lake with a vibrant arts and food scene. Also, I live here and I…

That’s the thing that really grinds my gears. The story that you always, always hear from these guys is that they aren’t unreasonable, or bad people. They’re just self-reliant, good people who want to be free of busybody outsiders who don’t understand their lives and don’t know their problems telling them what to do…

You know you can just open “x-number of free articles per month” sites in incognito windows to get around that.

Nobody fucking wants video in place of stories. There’s a time and a place for video. It’s at home, when I don’t plan on going out or doing anything.

the long game is for that to happen, but dismantling a system of sexual assault that has been ingrained into the culture for millennia is going to take time, Plan for the short game as well as the long. and again, i cant train a boy i dont have, i can train a unrelated girl to fight though. I would like to not have to…

i have no sons, but i train in several marital arts, so i kinda go with what i know.

Post paywall can be bypassed with Chrome incognito

Fuck off, Nazi.

Hey, be fair! The Times is bending over backwards to give a platform to people who want ME dead because of my religion*!

It’s unusual for any newspaper, let alone the Times, not to say when their subject isn’t using their real name.

Because FLCL can always help to leaven an otherwise dour mood.

It’s so cool how the New York Times bends over backwards to give a platform and voice to people who want me dead because of the color of my skin.

Really, isn’t Kate all of us in this humdrum world: but a woman with a simple dream. I believe it was Jane Austen who noted that it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a deputy editorship must be in want of an erotic carp calendar for which she may suggestively pose for fun and…

Bradley Whitford is one of the good ones. In fact, he’d have voted for Obama for a third time if possible.

How can this be true AND Jerruh is the shadow commissioner? Like there’s someone behind him pulling the strings? That’s stupid

Garlic. GARLIC. For god’s sake, man.

My son is 3 and when we give him tablet time (I’m a shitty dad), he quickly learned to hit the little x’s on the pop up ads. He’ll shout “I saw the tiny x!” He doesn’t even notice they are ads. Makes me proud.

I certainly get that is how the game is played. You carry the water when you need to, and you pretend as if the dumb management decisions were your own.

At least Clevelanders will be able to watch the Jaguars’ first round home playoff game on TV, unlike residents of Jacksonville, where it will be blacked out.
