Remember all those videos of people saying they hate Obamacare but like the ACA?

Oh, right, of course! You’d think I would’ve retained that from the admittedly very slight education in Latin I’ve had, but I have actually retained shamefully little. In any case, despite what I said before, the three-meal structure also makes intuitive sense; eating right after a long period of inactivity (if that is…

Has Carlson always had the Trump raccoon eyes, or is this a recent development?

The Atlantic’s paywalls are kinda restrictive so I haven’t read the full article, but I wonder if the author goes into the possibility that we developed the 3-a-day model during industrialization because it minimized employer costs if their laborers only took the time for one meal during working hours? (If that’s how…

That is the beauty of the single-occupancy locking Chipotle bathroom.

Exactly, as is the long poem in Pale Fire.

Gosh, it just never gets old hearing from a generation of people who vacuumed up all the wealth and are desperately clinging to political power while stacking loads and loads and loads of debt on the people younger than they berate my generation for selfishly not wanting to do the same thing.

She really does have just the weirdest taste in clothes. What is that pattern called, blueberry-pie-stained picnic tablecloth?

I’m too young to have watched it when it originally aired, but I used to love watching the Muppet Show when it was in reruns. I just watched the Mark Hamill episode and had forgotten that they end it by singing “When You Wish Upon a Star” while a parody version of the Disney castle rises up in the background.

Keeping in mind that his family is very, very wealthy and he is personally very, very good-looking so I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s been insulated from even the concept of consequences for most of his life.

“De-Fend Police” except when they actually do their job and convict, let’s say, a bunch of Blackwater contractors who committed a massacre; in that case, get a president to undercut the police FAR more than BLM has.

I believe that’s literally exactly what Scientology tells him he’s doing. Certainly they tell him he’s so special that he can’t die, which is why he does all those insane stunts himself.

I’m surprised nobody seems to have mentioned how weird the dubstep music cue for the dark troopers is. To me, at least, it’s too culturally overdetermined a style of music; it connotes a very specific period in the early 2000s, not a long time ago nor a galaxy far far away.

“And we’ve accepted it because as women we’ve been conditioned to believe that being publicly chastised for our weight, our looks, or our choice in clothing is an acceptable part of our existence.”

Countdown until it’s revealed that this dude is Aaron Schock’s successor...

Oddly enough, though, as a millennial in the middle of trying to make a career change, having no social media presence whatsoever is considered a very bad sign by potential employers.

Elon?! Is that you?!

A much better indictment would be Hannah Arendt’s of Eichmann:

Well, it probably helped some that she was born and raised in the US. But yeah, I do love her novels very much.

Except you keep pointing the gun at everyone around you.
