Whether the topic is feminism, nerd stuff, sports, whatever. Bloggers in general just seem to be terrible people. And honestly, it’s the widespread adoption of the Gawker tone that led to this and what has come to be the Gen-X/Millennial writing style:

Hey now, this is the worst of all possible times to live in and everyone on the internet knows it. Nothing bad ever happened before Trump was elected and now everything bad is happening all at once.  Nobody was EVER obsessed with serial killers until just this year don’tcha know?

I would argue that this article shows that disconnecting the art from the artist is actually the norm for most people. Most people don't care who made the things they like. Which is pretty much fine imo.

I think it’s important to disconnect art from the artist, so long as you can consume that art without directly benefiting said artist. If an artist is alive and benefiting from your consumption of their creations, as is the case with R. Kelly and so many other current serial abusers, by all means, drop them from your

Ancient 1880s era ICE technology vs modern 1890s era EV technology

Remember when it looked like Trump was gonna lose and he was eyeing creating Trump TV? It was universally agreed upon in Left circles that it’s pathetic to heal a bruised ego with self-congratulating media.

Ironic you would mention that there isn’t a “one size fits all solution” when you were effectively proposing just that. PHEV all the things.

In criminal justice parlance, it’s called a modus operandi (M.O.), pattern or signature. And yes they can have slight variations (victim, location, minor details).

The GMC Acadia is closer in class to the Pacifica, the diesel version would get 40 mpg highway. 

But can a Highlander stupidly open its doors into the ceiling? DIDN’T THINK SO. CHECKMATE.

Agreed. And I would go so far as to say I really don’t want to see anyone’s ass cheeks in public, with the exception of if you’re wearing a thong at the beach. If that’s your deal, you do you--on your own beach towel. But c’mon folks. I thought we could all agree that going out in public with your ass cheeks hanging

Lizzo was being extra extra, and was (rightfully) called on it. She doesn’t get a pass because she’s big, nor should she get extra criticism, but to say that is a given, these days. And she doesn’t get to try and disingenuous make this about people “shaming” her because of her size. **shrug**

Lizzo needs to understand when something like that is appropriate-like at a beach or an MTV Awards show or at a fashion awards show where people expect to see an exposed rear end. Your examples of other people showing their buns are pointedly not at basketball games. Incidentally, people very much talked about those

The thing is, there actually is evidence of political bias improperly influencing FBI actions: Comey’s decisions during the 2016 election, were influenced (by his own admission I believe) to placate anti-Clinton, pro-Trump sentiment within the Bureau, particularly in NY. This never gets headlines, even though during

Even in basic spec a Delta 88 was still a nice car. You’d have had to option the Caprice about halfway up the options sheet to get to the same level of kit and comfort. Get a Delta 88 Royal Brougham and you damned near had a Cadillac.   

‘Woke’ Americans think class warfare is passe because it doesn’t dwell enough on race.

Don’t worry. “Jojo Rabbit” is going to win best picture because it is an uplifting, lighthearted take on Nazi atrocities. Why it isn’t on this list is a mystery to me.

You turn them on when on the street, off for AutoX and once you are in upper run groups on track days. Pretty simple. The frustrating thing is many new cars don’t allow you to turn them off without hacking the ECU, or only offering a “full off” option in the top performance trim (I’m looking at you VW and Alfa).
