I mean, while the Kochs clearly want a return to feudalism, the seem to be the type who would be benevolent, as far as feudal lords go. Like, they want to own us, but they’re at least smart enough to want to keep us happy so we work productively and don’t rise up and kill them. The Trumpists would very much be the…

But that’s not how it works! I mean, if cops can’t get so much as a slap on the wrist for killing unarmed black children, they’re surely not going to hang for helping a white man get away with rape.

God, I’ve always hated that word. The fact that it was supposedly coined by a stupid child just makes it even worse. That hatred legitimately made me resist using Google or Google products for quite a few years before their ubiquitous nature finally wore me down.

Dude... you know that won’t be enough. Sure, they may worship a space lizard or whatever, but that’s not important. See, unlike Muslims, etc., Scientologists have just the right melanin deficiency, so those old conservatives aren’t unduly concerned.

You mean people can see boobs in other places?

It is goddamn fucking sad how many people believe that about Net Neutrality. I swear it’s pathetic how many people buy the right wing propaganda telling them that Net Neutrality is something new and bad, rather than “the internet as you’ve known it since its inception,” and that repealing Net Neutrality means that at…

If there’s one class of people it’s okay to body-shame, it’s abusive scum like Weinstein.

I did say “frumpy Charlie Day.”

She dated that frumpy Charlie Day-looking motherfucker?!

Yup. Whoever had the rights to Reading Rainbow tried to sue him a few months back because he was essentially doing a Reading Rainbow podcast.

Vowels are pretentious! Give us some good ol’ gutturals and we’s happy as a pig in a poke. *grunts*

I’d certainly hope so. 20 years is a long time, culturally. I think the biggest factor is that we’re actually giving accusers the benefit of the doubt now, where back in ‘96, it was a lot easier to dismiss all the women bringing allegations against ol’ Slick Willy as liars. I will tell you that I was a huge fan of…

Even worse: he’s a black man who champions book learnin’!

Jesus Christ... to steal Nate’s bit: I hate this shit.

You know, I’ve tried and tried to get into Chewing Gum and just haven’t been able to do so. I’ve been trying to figure out why it doesn’t work for me, and this article answered it for me in the most obvious way, and kind of makes me feel stupid for not figuring it out sooner: “cringe comedy.”

You know, that right there is a fine point to make. But the other guy wasn’t saying that. He was bitching that the article was mean-spirited, which is a fucking stupid complaint to make.

Gonna have to agree to disagree on almost everything you said there. I absolutely agree that TGP is doing something much more novel and unique, but I still feel that in its own, very different way, B99 is just as good. (Also, obviously gonna have to disagree on P&R going “rapidly...downhill.”) Still, at least we both…

Well, between the fact that I’m not getting offended over people dumping on a piece of shit like Mel Gibson and the fact that I know how to spell “your” and “you’re,” yeah, I feel pretty good.

I swear to god, “Mad World” has to be the single most covered song of all time (though admittedly, Cohen’s “Hallelujah” is probably a close second), which kind of makes me hate it. I wouldn’t mind it, but after you’ve heard the 20th different cover, it kind of loses its appeal.

Yeah, how shameful of us to treat an abusive, racist misogynist so unfairly! Fuck off.
