I see your point, but honestly, I do (to an extent) measure the gravity of someone’s actions by how blameworthy I think the victims are.

“Generation X” could give two shits about your generational slap fights. Leave us the fuck out of it.

Here is the famous parody ad which went all the way to the Supreme Court. Jerry Falwell reminisces about losing his virginity... to his mother... in an outhouse. Good stuff.

I’m not looking for a New England.  I’m just looking for another girl.

I agree. I’m English, so to us this was just pop music - although definitely superior pop music. New Wave I think is mostly understood as what the major labels tried to do with Punk - put a skinny tie on it and add a guitar solo.

See, when I think “New Wave,” I’m thinking Talking Heads, Blondie, Devo, The Cars, The B-52s and the Police... like, sort of punk-ish, but more mainstream, kinda? I always thought the British bands were... something else, maybe more emo? But according to Google, they’re all “New Wave.”

Honestly, we all just need to jettison the Youtube Star Wars community that likes to run on outrage. 

What do you mean “progressives feel this way?” You have to be very specific about who you are calling progressive because it’s a loaded term in US. Liberals in the US still believe that market solutions, top-down policy/social configuration, and tokenism will satisfactorily address inequalities. They have not fully…

No, this right here isn’t the problem with the left. People who can't understand how politics work might be though.

I tried to get that album at my local record store at the time, but it didn’t have it. Really could have used some fixin’...

“I personally have a problem with the use of ‘they’ as it is so linked with a plural to me.”

Cash.

I’m not going to spoil it here but just reading the descriptions made me cringe as hard as any of the bullshit we’ve been submitted to this year.

A climactic encounter with another prominent Republican pushes further while still going more or less where the audience might expect, toward an incident that would constitute a front-page embarrassment five or 10 years ago.

I was an 80s teenage girl and I’ve still never seen Dirty Dancing. But then I’m the weirdo who dragged all my Footloose loving friends to Buckaroo Banzai.

They weren’t a last gasp, though, they were a re-invigoration. If you liked any guitar rock of the ‘80s, ‘90s, or ‘00s, it was most definitely influenced by EVH. Go listen to some of the guitar players who are mourning him - there are guitar sounds on that first VH album that nobody had ever heard, including other…

Any time I support an American company, I am in turn supporting a regime that denies climate change, supports capital punishment, and allows its citizens to die en masse to a preventable disease.

Hey, don’t all hate on me now, I just wanna say that I can understand the feelings behind wishing pain and death on Trump. And I hate his politics and all he stands for too! But please remember that letting these kind of feelings get too much room in your life actually will hurt yourself in the end.

Believe me, I…

Dinklage is Puck, right?
