Seriously. I am so pissed at their toothless handling of the campaign. God forbid they alienate the backwards fuckwit portion of their audience. There’s been talk about the news media failing to be frank about how unfit DJT was in their coverage, but their (misguided) notions of impartiality are at least some excuse.…

Not sure if I’m the one “eating our young” in your example or everyone else is for turning on her last year but, FWIW, I left my pitchfork in the shed on that one.

Not calling you out specifically, but wasn’t the commentariat here ready to run her out on a rail just a year ago for this?

Am I crazy for thinking this or is there a more reasonable (maybe likely?) reading of this quote that we’re all missing here?*

It will almost certainly be for the rest of our (probably significantly shortened) lives.

Mormons, huh? Well, I guess the enemy of my enemy . . .

For real tho: coquito is the shit.

Reproducing is what our bodies want to do. It’s pretty hardwired. I don’t think you can equate that with a false sense of entitlement to something like house or boat ownership. It’s not some manufactured desire and it’s not trivial. The desire to have children is profound - it touches on the question of “what is my…

This is a reasonable take in some ways. I can see the appeal. But having children isn’t buying a boat. It’s not some frivolous luxury, access to which should rightfully be limited to those who can afford it. Having and bringing up children is more like a right for individuals and a necessity for any society and…

The new Metallica is awesome whenever Hetfield isn’t singing. It’s not that his vocals are any worse than ever, but they are so high in the mix now and the lyrics are frequently really embarrassing. File this next to the Smashing Pumpkins catalog under “how to ruin a good record”.

Scary thought: they already know this and are targeting these efforts for exactly this reason.

idk, seems appropriate though.

I’m a little too drunk to write anything too coherent or witty about it right now (thanks, afternoon Xmas party) but this feels like a mini-version of the incoming administration - a small group of super-rich guys taking jobs ostensibly to lookout for the general constituency but really using their positions to carve…

Many people will be amazed by how ‘business-minded’ the new U.S. leader is, and how he is as ignorant as a child in terms of foreign policy.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Told this story before, but, while bartending in the West Village, a rather tipsy but pretty well put-together, older than our regular crowd, short-haired blonde lady reached into my garnish tray to help herself to one of my maraschino cherries. I was feeling saucy that night so I gave her a playful but serious slap…

Do Trump voters get any of this? Do they realize the implications? Are they even receiving news about this stuff? I feel like we need to hold them down and force them to.

This is the better joke.

Yeah, not saying it’s cool, but that’s generally the deal. Photographers own the whole shoot, even outtakes. And it sounds like she had to know they were producing real work, whether it had an immediate outlet or not. Complaining about it after the fact is kind of pointless.

Honest question: if I get my citizenship revoked for flag burning, will that make it easier or harder for me to repatriate?
