“Snowflake” makes no sense in the way anyone uses it, which is to mock fragile people. A snowflake might be fragile, but they’re so little it’s not like you can take an individual snowflake and break it. “Snowflake” should be used to mock people who think they’re unique.

Why would Obama create and then rescind DACA?

My civil procedure professor in law school loved using rappers in the hypotheticals and on exams. This is probably very exciting news for him.

They’ll be too busy dying and coming back as zombies.

But that made sense. No one has a name like Arya’s, so changing it from Asha makes sense.

Raped and murdered by Rhaegar or the mad king.

And the movies that people liked all came out within a few weeks, while June and August were both pretty dead. If they had been spread out a little more, or if any movies came out that people liked between Wonder Woman and Spider-Man, we’d be talking about how successful this season was.

Yes, I’m sure the subpoenas will give Mueller new information. Knowing about the subpoenas only tells us (i.e., people who aren’t Mueller) that Mueller is investigating manafort. No shit he subpoenaed his assistants. What they know is going to be relevant to determining what manafort knew and did. Once we knew…

He pardoned that racist son of a bitch as a hurricane was hitting a city full of black people and latinos, and even while CBP had announced they were leaving up the internal border checkpoints (you can have border checkpoints within 100 miles of the border because fuck the Supreme Court), and everyone’s like “what’s…

Manafort has already been subpoenad. What does the PR team being subpoenad tell us that we didn’t already know?

Trump pardoned Arpaio because Arpaio is a racist goat-fucker, and everyone who likes Arpaio is a racist goat-fucker, and Trump’s base consists principally of racist goat-fuckers. Trump isn’t some…

But I don’t think she’s really trying to cultivate them. As near as I can tell it’s semi-ironic because she’s blonde, tall, and attractive. Just being blonde shouldn’t give her a duty to say anything. I agree that it would be good if she did though, but also maybe pop culture can be apolitical sometimes?

Trump is not ignoring his white supremacist fan base. They’re the only base he’s actively cultivating.

As long as no one comes after Buster Keaton’s The General.

It’s not even a top 5 Kanye album. “Ultralight Beam” is great though.

Fake News!

CBP is staying open.

If Suge Knight isn’t involved, it’s not a real feud.

To be fair, the eclipse is a much simpler system with only 3 objects. Scientists can predict sunrise to the second a thousand years from now, but they can’t predict the weather next week.

“Sure, the same Bible that tells us the world is going to end also tells us we don’t know when that will happen, but I’m willing to wager my grandchildren’s lives on my belief that the Bible is lying about that part, and the world end conveniently around when I would die anyway.”

Patrick Wyman’s The Fall of Rome podcast is pretty good pop culture about change. Everything is historically contingent on basically random events. A status quo that looks like it will endure for generations can dissolve overnight.

But whereas that gave us “hit ‘em up,” this feud gave us “look what you made me do.” Taylor and Katy should just shoot each other.
