Yeah, because it’s not like they ever had a human being pick up Thor’s hammer and start calling himself “Thor”, because that would be—

Here for the Melissa love, was not disappointed. She has the world’s most thankless role in that movie, being a completely and totally wonderful human being whose role is to be dumped by the guy we’re supposed to root for. Fuck that.

Must...resist...urge to sing...headline...to the tune of...Mariah Carey’s “Dream Lover”...

+10000000 to “rooty tooty fresh and frooty bullshit”.

You’re right - “Guns are pacifiers for dumbass racist white dudes” is the “Dog Bites Man” of study conclusions.

“in error” is code for “during a coke binge”.

“I would pay $50 to any Democrat who can make a convincing case that a majority of independents and Democrats will be persuaded to go to the polls in November and vote Democratic on the basis of the Russia investigation.”

They would vote for Actual Satan, cloven hooves, horns, trident and all, if he promised to outlaw abortion.

I don’t...not understand it...basically, it’s a psychological concept called “anchoring”, which is that we tend to form associations with memory and behavioral cues that are connected to objects. So if there’s a music you only put on when you’re studying, eventually you’ll get to the point where hearing it will put…

Guys like that have a hard time scaling back down when it comes to living within their means. Once you get a taste of the lifestyle of the rich and famous, you forget how to budget like a normal human being. He blew through all his pension money and then had to find a way to keep the cash flowing in—and not only were…

He didn’t need attention. He needed money. He spent a lot on lawyers beating the rap, and he lost even more in the civil suit that Nicole Goldman’s family filed. The book deal and interview were a way of recouping his losses, and if that sounds like a shitty and amoral thing to say, well, it’s an even more shitty and…

Counterpoint:

It’s fucking criminal that they’re letting LBJ, Kennedy and Truman off the hook for this shit.

I remember seeing it as part of a special birthday double-feature (I was in a very small town—there were exactly two movies playing at the local theater and I got to see both of them) with Costner’s Robin Hood. It was unquestionable which one was better.

It would be more accurate to say that everyone else’s stuff was underpriced. Target and Wal-Mart sell their toys and games at cost, and without exception put those sections in a part of the store that requires parents to walk through the clothing section. They’re making their store a destination for toy shopping,…

Think of it this way. The overriding conservative need is to be invulnerable. When these people were asked to imagine that their need had been met, suddenly they weren’t scared of shit anymore and could be liberals. So you’re right, but you’re not taking it all the way to the conclusion.

I’ve also heard that there will be a number of scenes before the closing credits, as special “Easter eggs” for the fans who show up on time for the movie. I’m very excited!

Oh, bullshit. You’re not a goddamn space alien here, who looks up a word in the dictionary and says, “Well, that’s what your hooman reference guide was these airhole noises mean, so they mean that and nothing more.” You know what a connotation is. Everybody does, because that’s how human beings communicate and have…

“If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell — I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise. I promise. They won’t be so much, because the courts agree with us too — what’s going on in this country.”

Words have meanings, but they also have associations. And at this point, after decades of men using the word to describe any woman who shares an opinion with them, when you say a woman is “shrill” what people hear is that she has a mind of her own and you prefer females who will compliantly deliver you sex and food…
