Well… let's wait and see what happens in France this Weeknd.

I had to walk for an hour from my high school to the Virgin Megastore and endure a lecture about the superiority of rap metal over industrial from some 20 year-old part-timer at the counter in order to get to listen to the new Nine Inch Nails record, and then wait 6 months until I had saved enough money to finally be…

I still have a Nokia brick phone! High five!

Practical effects and elaborate, hand-built film sets. Like in old Cronenberg and Jim Henson movies.
ETA: And games arcades!

On the plus side, this will be a boost for the center-left presidential candidate Moon, who is ahead in the polls and strongly in favor of diplomatic negotiations with NK instead of agressive threats and war talk, which should hopefully calm everyone in the region down for a few years until Trump is gone.

Fun fact: Freddy Trump Jr. joined a Jewish fraternity at Lehigh University, presumably to piss off his dad whom he frequently complained about to his fraternity brothers.
Sad fact: Donald cut Freddy Jr.'s children out of Fred Sr.'s will, and even went so far as to cut off medical care for his nephew's son who has…

The most disheartening aspect of the Duterte drug war is the (outspoken and silent) support from upper- and middle-class Filipinos who think that this is an acceptable way of dealing with lower class or homeless addicts. Why spend their precious taxes on therapy programs and shelters when you can just fucking murder…

Pop on down to the White House, Mr. Traphouse!

Ugh, joint custody is not the greatest outcome for his children. Here's hoping that his massive drug habit eventually makes him forget that he has children.

George HW Bush was the other way round, privately pro-choice and very supportive of Planned Parenthood before he became president, but a standard Republican once he was elected.

Oooh he dropped out?? I've been following this Canadian Conservative Candidates saga mostly via the podcast Canadaland (great podcast, highly recommended), and while Kevin O'Leary sounded pretty awful, Kellie Leitch is even worse.

And a bible. Definitely at least one bible.

Meths don't slap children. Manchildren slap children.

I met 2 Quakers in Japan, two guys in their 50s, and they were absolutely lovely to me and my then-girlfriend. I was in my early 20s and going through an obnoxious "all religions suck!! Atheism4lyfe!" phase back then, and even I was charmed by those guys. I also met quite a few hardcore Christian missionaries from the…

I like her podcast interviews and appearances, but I find the show incredibly grating. It's basically a writers room screaming at you "DO YOU SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING? DO YOU SEE THE TROPES WE'RE SUBVERTING? DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW SMART WE ARE?!" for an hour, with a couple of catchy songs in the middle. Just watch those…

I'm sure he'll be back soon with a podcast or column about toxic masculinity. He'll do a heartfelt, self-flagellating 2 hour interview on The Nerdist where he'll talk about addiction and mental illness, and after a year or two of doing that, he'll be back to writing shitty opinion pieces on Marvel movies and…

I find his jezebel stuff mostly okay but forgettable (I feel like he's trying to emulate Richard Lawson, but well, those are elephant-sized shoes to fill), and he's not terrible on the podcast, but he does seem to enjoy his own jokes and observations a lot, so if you're put off by that, maybe skip this podcast. I…

I mean, I don't disagree with your larger point, but 20+% voted for LePen, so she's not exactly 'alone'.

I was rooting for Macron because he has the best chance of beating LePen, but secretly I was hoping Melenchon would make it into the runoff. I don't think I would have voted for him if I was French, he's a little too anti-NATO for my taste, but at least he was in favor of renegotiating certain EU policies instead of…

Ooooh you're right, it IS based on a game! Never heard of this franchise before, looks like a poor man's Yakuza but still fun! I'll definitely check it out!
