So... a Bernie Sanders-type, who isn’t actually Bernie Sanders? :)

Yeah, you’re probably right. The “simple” solution is rarely the best one, especially in politics. That being said, who do you think would be a better Veep pick for Hillz?

Hillary should have Bernie run as her VP. Bam! Problem solved.

Please tell me this is true and not just your political fanfic.

I saw some tickets available on a scalper site that started at $500 apiece, and went up to $13,000.

Even better, it’s based off of a German word. “Fenster” is the translation for “window”. German is just better at producing scary-sounding words - it’s SCIENCE (or Wissenschaft)!

The Liberty Council was actually declared a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center due to their involvement with Kim Davis, among other things.

It’s completely true that Cosby will never suffer any legal consequences for what he did, but his legacy and reputation will be eternally tarnished. Small consolation to the women he abused, granted, but at least he will be forever remembered as a monster instead of as a role model.

That’s a bummer. I haven’t found much lately that’s genuinely new - as opposed to simply “new to me”. I’m very hesitant to even admit it out loud, but I’m a little afraid that K-pop’s peak era was around about 2010-2012 and it’s currently on a decline.

I’d like to (one more time) declare my eternal gratitude to you, because you posted the video for “Fantastic Baby” in the comments under an article about 2NE1 that Charlie Jane wrote on io9 a few years ago. I was already receptive to K-pop by that point, but it was that video specifically which sent me down the rabbit…

It’s traditional to try to fit individual boy-band members into “types”, so here’s my take:

We call it “pop” in Minnesota because we are suspicious that the word “soda” is mocking the end of our state’s name. Minne-soda, get it?

Holy shit dude, that could have gone very badly! I was actually close friends with a kid in High School (I wouldn’t call him my best friend, since he was kind of a dick) who made a bet with another one of our friends whether you could look down the barrel of a gun to see if it was loaded. So they went out to his…

I’ve got a story from my daughter’s one-year-old birthday party. When kids are 5 or 6 years old, a birthday party is all about Curious George or My Little Pony or some shit, but a 1-year-old party is mainly for the adults. I was sipping on a beer and holding my little girl, and she tried to grab my bottle. I thought…

I didn’t mean to imply that ALL K-pop groups fade away after a few years, there are obviously exceptions (which is why I mentioned Shinhwa the “longevity group”). Bigbang is also very exceptional, one of the few K-pop groups that have a significant following in the Western world. But the fact still remains that most…

Agreed. 2NE1 has released Japanese-language versions of their albums in the past to cater to that market, so until and unless we see an English-language version of an album (or a brand new album that is all or mostly English) then I’m not considering it a proper attempt to break into the American market. And the…

Be fair here. Shrayber and ROYGBIV have nothing to do with editorial-level decisions made by Gawker as a whole.

1) Try this: type “IRS targeted conservative groups debunked” into Google and then read any one of the dozen or more articles that come up.

The person that makes me coffee is The Best Person On Earth right at that moment. I am always polite, friendly, and patient at a coffee shop because I know that no matter how shitty my day has been up to that point, it is about to get (at least a little bit) better. The phrases I use most often at a coffee shop are…

That reminds me of one of the most fucking awkward moments of my adult life. I was hanging out with my (now ex-) girlfriend's mother Sarah, who I had a decent friendship with. The two of us were watching an old episode of the Simpsons, in which Homer is explaining to Moe that Lisa is a vegetarian. Moe is so repulsed…
