Me, too! But that’s probably because I recently had to look up articles from 1959-present for a work project and some major newspapers haven’t bothered digitizing anything from before 1970. I had to go to look at microfiche at the library for all the small local papers. I didn’t find the story scary (or believable),…

How about just the fact that kids can still communicate even if they don’t know the “proper” word. A huge part of their existence is not knowing “proper” words - they’re all new to the language - they do that all day every day.

For some reason I had the hardest time believing a small town’s local newspaper would have its archives digitized and online back to the 1930s.

Snerk! These godbotherers are currently putting the future Supreme Court over their own god. What a joke.

And then ask how much he loves that other great Christian, Nietzsche....

Hahaaa.... is there any Ayn-Rand-quoting man alive who doesn’t misunderstand her personal philosophy? I swear she is the #1 author of Books Guys Carry Around Just To Be Seen With So People Think They’ve Actually Read It.

No. I’m well over 30...well. over. And this election is horrifying. The level of unprofessional, uncivilized (even fake civility, a la, “my esteemed colleague, senator shit head”), bogus bullshit, gun-nut-stirring, crap that has come out is well beneath anything that went before. When was the last time anyone…

Yep, those posters are common.

This is something I’m really passionate about—not only is my family from NOLA for several generations back, but this is very much a social justice issue. The consequences of so. many. housing units. being converted to short-term rentals for tourists are HUGE for not only the most…

It’s almost like giving someone a platform where they can spew baseless, hateful rhetoric that feeds into the fears of the idiotic masses might embolden those with similar views that otherwise would have been kept in check...

I get the feeling that these people are constantly surprised to discover things in the Real World that don’t match the assumptions they’ve built in their Personal Bubble.

I saw some REALLY stupid stuff after Pearl Jam got political at Bonnaroo in June. Like, do you know Pearl Jam??

R.E.M. is and always will be my favorite band.

Remember when Paul Ryan said one of his favorite bands was RATM?

My first real exposure to Cross was in college, when a friend had on his album where he talked about 9/11. The part that stuck with me was when he said, “I don’t think the terrorists hate us because of our freedom, I think they hate us because of X, Y, and Z reasons. You wanna know why I think that? Because that’s…

When I was in college Stephen Colbert came to our campus and performed. Colbert Report had been been a thing for maybe a year. When he started talking about politics, and his views were liberal, idiots around me were upset and confused bc I guess they didn’t realize his character and show were satire. They stayed til…

Even more horrifying to these poor bastards, they went to a Taylor Swift concert and heard pop music!!!!1!1!! They went to Hamilton and heard RAPPING!

Reminds of when I saw Wanda Sykes and the well-heeled older White couple next to me starting tut-tutting under their breath when she became critical of the Bush Administration and McCain/Palin ticket. Mr. Nom and I had a chuckle on the drive home over, “What, exactly, did they expect from Sykes — an out Black woman?!”

It might be fun, but you can’t buy the experience of being a local.

And the fact that renting an apartment nightly to tourists is much more profitable than an actual lease agreement to a local resident means that, by using Airbnb rather than a hotel room or an actual licensed B&B, you are helping to take a housing…

I think the real question is why the hell wouldn’t you want to?

When you are politely condescended to, it seems all the more ‘institutional’, or ‘societally co-signed’ for lack of better words.
