He was a ‘fan’ in the sense that a ‘fan’ is someone who goes to strange lengths (fraud) to see things they are a ‘fan’ of.

Six weeks? That just screams “We wanted to outlaw it entirely, but weren’t 100% sure the Supreme Court wouldn’t tell us to knock it off.”

I know Trump and company want to take us back there, but when did we wind up back in the 80s?

Splinter is feeding into the ‘Democrats are destroying themselves over the primary’ narrative that the right wants to use this election. That gets used every election - always about Democrats, and also about Republicans in years when they have a lot of candidates - and is never true about either party.

“This horrible act of terrorism reminds the world how dangerous Islamic extremists are, and that we need to be vigilant against . . . Oh, sorry, I’ve just been informed that Muslims were the targets of this attack. Ignore everything I just said about terrorism, since that obviously has nothing to do with this…

It’s the internet. I only know as much about you as you put on it - and only as much as I happen to see. I don’t have the time, energy, or patience to check if your racism is ‘ironic’ or not. I don’t have the patience to check if you’re saying hateful things because you’re driven by hate, or if you just want to see a…

Because good music matters more in this country than children.  Talented, or successful, or maybe they might one day be talented or successful, men matter more than anyone they might hurt along the way.  This is both why wealthy abusers can do what Jackson did, and why the guy down the street can beat his children…

Hello. My name is Tucker, and I think it’s ok to sell your 14 year old daughter to a minister for the rest of her life. If you think that makes me an asshole, you’re un-American, because I have the freedom to advocate selling teenage girls into slavery without any consequences whatsoever. That is literally what the…

The real problem is that the idea labeled centrist here has been co-opted by the right, who use anti-PC as a cover for not wanting to deal with their own remaining racism.  (I don’t mean that everyone in the anti-PC crowd wants to shout the n-word at every opportunity - I do mean that they don’t want to have to figure…

I know she wrote “this will be posted to social media” but all I saw was “I will be informing your manager.”

The biggest issue with both Inquisition and Andromeda was their size. Both games had interesting characters (Andomeda’s were BioWare’s weakest writing in years, but it still not terrible) and a decent 20 to 30 hour story.  But those were given to us in the rotting corpses of early 2000s MMOs, all empty space and fetch…

This is not a new argument. Republicans have been twisting things to find ways to call their opponents hypocrites forever. Nevermind only caring about deficits when a Democrat is president - a celebrity who receives insane fan mail (including death threats) hiring armed guards while wondering if anonymous citizens…

In other words, I don’t want to hear things described as male power fantasies, I just want to know if this male power fantasy is any fun to play or not.

Detroit coming in at a respectable and meaningless number 2.  Sounds about right.

You would rightfully be calling out similar dog whistles if a Republican said or tweeted them. Israel has a lot to answer for in how its treating Palestinians, but that doesn’t excuse playing to anti-semitic conspiracy theories of ‘Jewish money’ running things, or saying that Americans who support Israel despite their…

It also misses that the costs for health care are currently spread out. Many of us get health insurance through our employers - and, depending on contract, they could be paying a fairly large part of the insurance premiums for us. I know in my case, my employer is picking up about 75% of the premium. I know I’m…

They’re coming to take our guns, cows, cars, planes, and they’re coming to murder our babies.  They also want to turn this country into a socialist hellhole, destroy romance, and turn all the men into women and women into men.  Oh, and they want to get rid of God, too.  Basically, they are against anything and…

Uninterested in defending the interests of women.  When it’s the other way around (athletes abusing or assaulting women) they are defended.  But a woman’s right to go through life without unwanted sexual contact is obviously less important than a man’s possible career.

It is worse than that.  They don’t believe compassion is real - they believe people express ‘compassion’ for political purposes only.

“Damn, the sky is blue today.”
