The Social Democrats in the UK are people who would be Torries except they know that if they call themselves Torries they won’t be invited to the good parties any more. Fuck them.

Rowling was a once struggling young artist who now has legions of followers devoted to her teachings that some people are better than others.

The people who *made* dark tower a another transformers movie were pretty damn well convinced they’d be huge.

They’d still be fighting. which is something they should be trying to avoid.

People don’t want to go to the movies to see millionaire, spoiled brat actors kneeling in protest against the anthem. MAKE THEM STAND!

“isolated incident where a deranged Bernie Sanders supporter”

It turns out we’ve all been dead this whole time and are actually in the bad place.

“Long Awaited”
did anyone actually await more garbage from miller?

The American forces win like always, and then we leave and are regarded as heroes and liberators for the rest of Afghanistan’s history.

Everybody was having a lovely myopic, self-absorbed, benighted neo-liberal fantasy and you have to go and bring reality race into it. Boo, ghost, boo.

“Portlandia” was liberals making fun of themselves, quite effectively. It’s similar to how there was really no good conservative humor directed at Obama. They had 8 years, and it always was just “Obama’s black, imagine if he went to the White House in a pimp outfit?”

I really liked this piece, because it helped me pin down why I was never able to get into Portlandia. The piece is right - the show is fundamentally set in a place where everything is basically fine, and people are post-problems. (Not just in a political sense, but in whatever sense.) But that’s never been my…

Portlandia never (or never adequately) addressed the rampant xenophobia, racism, and regionalism in Portland.

Pro-tip: if you Democrats ever want to win again, first know that most Americans didn’t experience Obama’s eight years as an idyllic era of “safety, equality, and comfort.” You’re hilariously out of touch if you haven’t already figured that out. And please stop blaming honest hard-working paid Russian trolls for…

No, liberals rejected The Clintons after one of the following:

I would argue that Parks and Recreation is also a perfect Obama-era show (a government made up of competent, likeable people seems impossible today), but other than that, great article.

Pro-Tip: Never bring up Obama’s rapid escalation of deportation or Clinton’s long-standing passionate opposition to equal marriage around a liberal. And especially never bring up her use of coerced carceral labour (basically slave labour) for her domestic staff in the eighties. It will give them a stroke.

I can sort of understand this idea that everything seemed ok and then all of a sudden it wasn’t, but I also have very little patience for it. It’s really an expression of how comfortable your existence was until you were forced to look at what had been going on in our country for a long time. I dunno, I get that mine…

that’s underselling the movie- its not just a “these wacky insta-kids!” story. Its really more about mental health, narcissism, self-obsessed aimless younger people in today’s tech-driven, popularity-based world. Among other things. Listen, this is NOT the kind of movie I’d expected to enjoy, having to watch virtually…

Yeah, the 85 percent of the country that has no idea what Roy Rogers is or where they’re located.
