In a direct quote of a recent meme that’s been making the rounds: “Na, you right.”

Holy shit.

For me, The Root staff in general, Michael Harriot specifically.

You: “It’s terrible that Donald Trump Jr. posted this video!!!”

Are you suggesting the style of roleplay somehow justifies the abuse? Was she “asking for it?”

Well done. Blaming the victim in an abusive relationship is always the best option. Cue the outrage. “I’m not victim blaming! I’m just saying she allowed herself to be abused because she thought she deserved it!”

BF BFST!

Everyone is flipping out. Everyone I know wants Trump to go down so hard they’re not thinking this through. I think it’s pretty obvious what’s going on here. Giuliani is saving Trump’s ass. Paying a porn star, or any other woman, is not illegal. Lying under oath about it is. Paying a porn star is a scandal. Trump can…

Wikipedia says: “The Flora colossi are tree-like beings whose language is almost impossible to understand due to the stiffness of their larynges, causing their speech to sound like they are repeating the phrase ‘I am Groot’. 

Your words make me very uncomfortable. Sometimes I get insulted and pissed off. I’m telling you this so you know it’s working. Because if I ask myself why I’m pissed off, the answer is always that my privelege has been challenged in some way by your words. But, biting and hostile as they can be, I have never found…

It should matter, man. You did a good job. Be proud.

Fuck autoplaying commercials in general, and fuck that Dr. Pepper commercial in particular.

Why is it so hard for a theoretical physicist to understand that languages constantly evolve just like the physical world? The word “nice” originally meant “stupid,” then “fine,” and now it means congenial or a little bit better than okay. Every person in history seems to think that language was frozen in place during…

“Sometimes, there’s a man...”

Mjölnir is modern Icelandic. Mjǫllnir in Old Norse. Mjollnir in modern English. Mjølner in modern Danish. Correct pronunciation in which language? I’m so tired of Marvel and video games shitting all over the beautiful Old Norse religion. Doubly tired of smug know it all geeks that read a paragraph in some comic wiki…

Okay, who’s gear are we using? Mine? Nope. I don’t know you; got no idea if you know how to take care of my gear. Yours? I’m not playing through your POS Fender Cybertwin. I’m not playing through your $4K Marshall full stack either. That’s not what I sound like.

What do you do for a living. Do you like to share your “backline?” Fuck that. You think our personal gear is all interchangeable?

As a musician, and frequently one of the four opening acts, this post horrifies me with it’s “I just want to hear what *I* want to hear” entitlement. Please just stay home. The point of many of those types of smaller venues is to promote local music; a thing that is very necessary due to people like yourself who will…

Jethro Tull and Leonard Skinner were definitely real people!

“They also found one person who couldn’t confirm that he had actually heard Pence call his wife ‘Mother,’ but could confirm that it sounded like something he would totally say, because the Pence family reminds him of ‘rural progenitors born in the 1800s,’ which does not seem inaccurate.”
