My favorite chyron today: “Tillerson not denying he called Trump a moron.”

It is bizarre to me that some people think “high wages” lead to automation. If they can design a robot to do a human job, it will always be cheaper, and business owners will always choose the robot, because it makes them more money, which is the whole point of the business.

I’m not aware of any evidence that he has the capacity for empathy outside of, maybe, the small circle of his preferred family members, and that deficiency contributes to his weird and rare (for a national politician) complete inability to adequately perform the ceremonial Head-of-State functions of the job. He cannot…

Every day, I realize more and more that the election of this man represents some kind of great surrendering by a huge chunk of Americans, that they basically stopped caring if the most powerful man in the most powerful country/ economy ever could actually do his job with even a tiny amount of competence or training,…

It’s a relatively small and banal part of the job, and it pales in comparison to all the other ways he sucks, but the way he responds to these disasters is sickening to me. That an adult human cannot suppress the reflex to engage in superfluous praise (mostly of himself) to focus on victims of a disaster is…

The Quicker Fucker Upper

So, seriously, I know we’re 10 months in but how often do the rest of you have one of those “Oh right, Donald Fucking Trump is the President of the United States” moments? It happens to me less often now but still, you know, once or twice a week. The guy they used to make fun of in Bloom County, the guy Ali G screwed…

Ah, that’s straight /r/TrumpCriticizesTrump material! There’s a Trump tweet against anything Trump says.

There already is a ton of telemetry inside planes. In fact, people were able to track MH370 on FlightAware. The problem is that something happened on that flight which the transponder to be turned off at the same time the crew stopped communicating with ATC.

Kimmel used to get on my nerves because he would monopolize his guests with chit chat and his “take” instead of pulling out their stories. But at this point, I don’t give a shit because he is a late night superhero for calling out all the GOP/Trumptwat bullshit. He’s a bit filled the Jon Stewart void for me. All those…

We’ve informally reached out to a few people who work in TV news who confirm there isn’t a specific hard break until the end of the hour. This break occurred during the show’s first half.

Except even with that hard break looming, Kelly still squeezed in two explanations of having a hard break as well as an opposing opinion. I’m guessing she say she was relatively close to the hard break and decided to use that as an excuse to cut Brokaw off.

Truly, we just lost a great American songwriter, as well as another great King of the Hill character:

In fairness, he is a horror writer, so it makes sense he’d write about terrible things.

He’s written about a gazillion books. If they were ALL about rape, you would have had a point there. But they’re not. And since he writes about people in the world, it would be strange if none of his characters were ever raped since sadly, that’s something that many women have experienced

Not to be obnoxious or anything...but I’m getting married tomorrow!! Eeeeeeeeeee!

Yeah, nothing about Trump’s own actions surprise me anymore, he’s shown himself too many times for any of us to be surprised by it (appalled, sure, just not surprised). But I remain absolutely fucking baffled at how millions of Americans have accepted this and continue to accept this.

You might like to shit on the Golden Girls, but that show is a fucking master-class in comic timing. They could read a phone book and I’d still laugh. No cast has even been better. Not ever.

Honestly why would anyone ever watch that show.
