I'd prefer Trump to be at the center of Ultimate Chaos.

It's like a verbal Rorshach Test. You can project whatever dark subconscious impulses you want to onto it.

I'm with you. Veggie burgers should be their own thing - and I've had some really, really delicious ones that don't even think about being "meat-like". I really dislike over-engineered faux-meat food-like items.

Reality is way too broad for my taste.

Because of the other meaning of "mad".

First, they unleash The Thing on good, unsuspecting American Antarctic researchers…and now THIS. Fuckin' Norwegians.

Tropic Thunder.

Student evals do mean something in *some* places. Fuck those places.

Nice opinions. Facts say otherwise. Facts say racism and sexism were more important than economic dissatisfaction. Your "great article" is has no data whatsoever on the beliefs of Trump voters or which beliefs are most predictive of supporting Trump. Those who have looked at this find racism and sexism are *more*…

I just like to live in reality. In a fantasy land, Trump's win was unrelated to racism and sexism and Democrats are just a bunch of elitists who don't care about "real Americans". Whereas, in reality, Trump's win was in a large part powered by racism and sexism - and that's not my opinion, that's what research shows…

"is not because the US is made up of a bunch of racist assholes"

OK, fine. Bartimaeus trilogy ordered.

I still listen to the soundtrack fairly regularly. It's great stuff.

That would be a pretty great category.

I already call it "my pretty".

The 2001 mini-series of Trollope's 'The Way We Live Now' is quite worth checking out. It's good. But, dear God, Miranda Otto's Southern Belle accent is an absolute horror.

I dig it. They manage more than few surprises tossed in among mostly standard fare, and even a little surprise is surprising at this point. Solid tunes, too.

Insider trader, not murderer.

Cheap Trick is an outstanding first real rock concert.

Everyone talking about how "old" the 3.5mm jack should probably wonder why no one has thought it necessary to replace it. I don't think the quest for an *even thinner* phone is really very compelling, and the alleged increased battery life on the phone seems to overlook the the non-existent battery issues of plug-in…
