On one hand a seven year old might not understand the phrase “that’s marginal”, so there’s that. On the other hand, it was the oldies asking me “Do you still believe in Father Christmas?” that got me thinking in the first place.

A black man would have never even won the primary if he had five kids from three baby mommas and five bankruptcies.

“ ... he has to try to show up someone ten times younger than him.”

You can’t even give him credit for that though because he doesn’t have the wherewithal to know whether a risk is great or small or care about its consequences. That just makes him reckless. That explains his multiple bankruptcies and lost and settled lawsuits and why analysts have noted that he'd be considerably…

WTF Mitsubishi?!

Starred for “Bloodbath and Beyond”.

Without prereqs I would know nothing about metamorphic rock.  Nothing.

Here’s the list of top Ingraham advertisers for the third quarter of 2018, just in case you want to avoid them like the plague.

Congrats Anna!

This is a bit off topic but I think, ultimately, on topic—as Tumblr has been heaving its last breaths I’ve been strikingly reminded of the way certain parts of the internet encourage people to create insular communities where there is such an echo chamber of opinion that they may come to believe that their opinions…

It’s not the greatest documentary in the world, but “The Brainwashing of My Dad,” which follows the filmmaker’s father as he, a Kennedy Democrat, becomes a…

Because, as the lede says— as the entire blog literally says — Alice Walker made news yesterday for citing him in her favorite books. Again. There’s no particular reason to write about David Icke’s claims on their own — nothing much has changed — but the fact that she once again cited him is news. I also wrote this…

Hello, I wrote a book about conspiracy theories recently with an entire chapter dedicated to the notion that conspiracy theories among Black Americans are often based in actual, real devastating and sometimes genocidal events. However, Farrkahan’s specific accusations of a massive depopulation scheme — the NOI has…

These blankets are the perfect encapsulation of Jeff Flake, because they talk tough, but fold whenever given the opportunity.

The mental gymnastics used to explain how Mexico is actually paying for the wall are fucking astounding.

Aren’t there specific provisions against nepotism in the Executive Branch, which were waived (in part) for their current positions because advisory positions aren’t considered a “position” (per se) — why would this not apply to Kush-as-CoS?

I remember seeing a comment somewhere a long time ago, that Jar Jar looks like a Law and Order murderer in an episode that takes a weird twist in the last 15 minutes.  I’m pretty convinced that in the last “15 minutes” of this national nightmare, we’ll find out some pretty creepy ass shit about Jar Jar.
