1) Later Diane was a monster, and I sort of wonder whether the writers didn’t do it to spite Long.

I have a biracial child and I raised him not to refer to his friends as “his niggas.” This strikes me kind of the same way.

When you woke up this morning, did you think of yourself as someone who would call the teenaged survivor of a mass shooting a liar on the internet, or are you surprised to learn that about yourself?

His dad (my wife’s grandfather) has about $1m saved up, of course that will be spent down on upcoming medical expenses and then split 5 ways but that is what he is banking on. He has no idea how much they need and thinks anything over $100,000 will be enough, which is ridiculous. They still have 25 years or so of…

I dig this list. Personally, I’m a fan of Herbert Hoover. He probably gets the worst shrift from history of any president. In the ‘32 campaigns, the argument between him and FDR was that FDR’s plan didn’t do enough (which was true). It’s so ironic that we forget this, but FDR didn’t campaign on a platform of “spend a…

The subtext is obvious but it’s worth spelling out that “family-friendly” here is a dogwhistle for “you won’t have to explain to your kids that a professional athlete is upset that unarmed black people are getting murdered by police, in the very unlikely event they even noticed the brief protest to begin with”. Christ.

You can even pretty easily map the characters to the Wizard of Oz as well. Chidi is clearly the cowardly lion, Eleanor is Dorothy, Jason’s the scarecrow (he certainly needs a brain), and Tahani’d be the Tin man (all her good deeds having lacked heart, after all)

since she wasn’t involved in the attack

You’re in the wrong thread, but I’m sorry the Star Wars movie had too many girls in it.

How about we don’t spend Martin Luther King Day talking about websites by white supremacists?

Because most sane administrations don’t interfere with the FBI, and don’t want to abuse their power to influence elections.

They were pretty stoked on 11/8/2016.

At this point Sam and Diane would be more “can they or can’t they” than “will they or won’t they”

We need a wave of hard leftists in office. Take this shit, reverse it, and then go even further. Use every dirty tactic and manipulative loophole to do it.

You guys are a Coke brand. Never forget that. Let’s make sure that we’re doing everything we can to stay at that level and not get down into Tab village.

The whole show built toward them ending up together. Once they did, everything after that seemed pointless.

Even though the movie was made in 1983 about a family in 1939, it really captures the countless moments that define childhood for many/most of us. Things like...

If you consciously voted for a abusive white supremacist because you felt spiteful that other people said mean things about you - such as you were stupid enough to consciously vote for a abusive white supremacist - you are objectively a stupid, selfish asshole.

Why? We’d need closer to 8% growth to pay for the tax cut. And who gives a shit about GDP growth when 90% of it goes to the top 1% and the deficit increases by 100 billion dollars and we need to cut medicare and social security to keep from going bankrupt.

Trump is the most unqualified person to ever hold that office. He’s a radical danger to our country and the world, yet the GOP is fine with it as long as he rubber stamps whatever they put in front of him. Whatever hatred deep conservatives think they feel towards liberals pales at the rage I feel towards the GOP…
