The silver lining of this summit might be that we get a fresh look at all the commenters who might spend too much time cozying up to Glenn Greenwald and claiming that critiquing RT is a modern version of McCarthyism.

Nice

The stout critique made me laugh out loud. I love stouts and porters, and I don’t mind something with chocolate and coffee, but recently every time I’ve tried more elaborate flavors all I can think, “artificial flavor solvent”

The idea that just because something helps patients who are pathological that means that when you, a healthy human, should become like a superhuman when you attempt that treatment is bananas aggravating to me.

I assume the reason KK hasn’t taken the buyout is because there’s not a spot at RT or The Intercept for her.

Hey remember when AJ Daulerio said in a deposition in some random court case he would publish child porn?

Lol. The balls were always around when I needed them and that’s all I know about it. Honestly I think I remember EXBF mentioning he liked briefs because they kept everything “all contained”. I was like, “uh, your junk is not a biohazard...is it!?!?!”

Boxers are SO WEIRD to me. So much material! And it takes a special kind of pair of legs to not look all spindly popping out that billowing fabric. And wear does all that fabric go when you jam it into your pants?? Men act like women’s underwear is goofy sometimes but I’m like, “uh, you are wearing bloomers.”

My ex-BF wore (wears? I mean, he didn’t vaporize) briefs and sometimes he would really have to inspect the underwear he picked off the floor before putting it on in the morning to make sure it wasn’t mine.

For some reason the exact moment I found out Scalia had died is burned into my memory because I was around friends and after I saw the news on my phone I said, “Holy shit, Scalia died.”  My friend asked me, “Who is that?”  These two smug liberal white millennial women had no fucking clue who that was. It’s why I just…

This comment should be plastered all over Splinter blog posts in the future.

But Pareene got his buyout so it’s cooooooool.

Did you know that Kinja Deals pays for everything you do??

I wish this comment section was more stories like this. I love people watching and I LOVE hearing the out-of-context weirdo snippets of dum dums.

Why does everyone think socks in the pool is gross??

Undergrad nerd boy dweebs ride them on campus and it’s like, “Who do you think you’re fooling zooming up a hill like that poindexter?”

This is exactly the kind of un-self-conscious whimsy I want in my food news blogs. I love The Takeout.

And fucking HamNo writing cute shit about his death threats like he’s the coolest kind on the playground.

Do you think HamNo is even aware that there are whole classes of people whose simple existence in (online) spaces is enough to evoke death threats?  Like, I do not fucking understand how he can be so fucking clumsily ignorant of his own goddamn privilege and yet there’s this cadre of people out there that hold him up…

You’re smarter than them?  Is that what you want to hear??  Congrats??
