“Got Milk?”

Yeah, actually I do.  It’s sorta been around for centuries.  Are there really people seeing an advertisement for milk and going, “Hmm, milk eh? Maybe I’ll try it some time.”

I have watched only the first episode of ‘The Newsroom’, and I’m not sure I’ve ever recoiled from a TV show as much. The smug condescension rocketing off the charts, the deeply uninteresting old white man protagonist, the fact that they’re trying to get us invested in the drama of people investigating a years’ old news…

Aaron Sorkin poisoned the minds of a certain class of young liberal. The kind who now think that “doing politics” means technocrats working in a K-Street-and-West-Wing bubble, where the people actually impacted by the decisions you make are uneducated rabble who deserve nothing but scorn and disdain, and where all it…

Churches/religions don’t deserve charity status. Tax the fuck out of them or burn them to the ground. “Jesus” believed in compassion without compromise you despicable fuckers!

Wait, so he thinks that it is good that his church disregards what the bible says? Sort of a weird bragging point, isn’t it?

It’s a nice place with nice music where they and all their friends go and there’s babysitting and a nice lunch

Have you read the book?  Because the tone didn’t seem right at all.  Indeed, the unfairly maligned (in this article) Mike Nichols version captured the tone perfectly.

It’s time to put aside the notion that you “raise revenue to fund spending”. Modern monetary theory provides the essential insight that the spending comes first: the tax is extracted post-hoc in order to rebalance the money supply. Essentially, governments have an infinite supply of money because currency is a…

urgh...Thatcher was a cnut who destroyed communities. we all rejoiced when she died.

“Normally journalists would point out how very filled with politics all the other British writers of the school of eighty-something were, and that Sandman wasn’t. And why is that? And I would hesitantly suggest that I thought that Sandman might have been a bit more political than they thought, and they would say…

Oh FFS - it was bad enough when Lindsay Duncan played her. Please stop making wonderful women play this witch.

Who?  Ray ‘Bloody’ Purchase!

I tried the 3-3-2-2 method last month and my steak was closer to medium well than the medium rare I prefer. I did like the sear on it, though.

A bunch of us, who worked as strikebreakers in the 30’s, have been hired to put an end to these demonstrations.

Much like Alan Moore, AOC tends to butt heads with the people in charge of DC.

““strong arm bullying” people into universal healthcare, free college, gun control, and economic reform is the same thing as pushing people into homophobia, racism, sexism, and fascism”

The only people who say you need a physics degree to understand Rick and Morty are the kind of assholes who think they’re smart because they watch Rick and Morty.
