Back in the 90s, news was real and wrestling was fake

I'm noticing a pattern with these:
1. Trump gives 6th grade history primer on other leader's country.
2. Trump asks other leader if they have anything they'd like to say, reminiscent of a parent eliciting an apology from a child to a third party.
3. The other leader reluctantly eats Trump's ass, because that's part of…

Also, given how much these guys complain about video games, Ghostbusters, and Gal Gadot, I'd say they think TOO many things matter.

Yeah, I'll buy that. I think nihilists are often hated because they do not "agree" with anyone. Once you've adopted an "us vs. them" mentality, which I think comes largely from having a two-party society, it's easy to then project antagonism upon someone who isn't explicitly on your side (even if they're not on any…

I would say that, no matter how incoherent, self-contradictory, compartmentalized, or willfully ignorant an ideology is, it's still an expression of the person's desire to assert their narrative or sense of purpose in the world. I think the worst thing you can say about a nihilist in this context is that they wouldn't…

I know it's said a lot on AV Club that alt-righters and other fascist types are "nihilistic." But aside from the general use of "nihilism" as a four-letter word, I don't understand the connection. Fascists believe that what they're doing matters, don't they? The whole "ubermensch" thing was Nietzsche's response to /…

Dude loves sugar water.

Tough words from a guy who looks like a man-sized sentient bug wearing a human skin suit.

Real political bloggers don't ask people questions.

I guess some of these hip young alt-right bloggers aren't old enough to remember the IRA.

Seems like a good enough excuse to rewatch the whole series to me.

I think there's some truth to that, but the explanation is probably more obtuse. Something like: the nuking was the watershed moment that killed the collective delusion of many of the main characters that Landstander mentioned. Whether it was just a dream that was a loose allegory for the weird shit happening in…

Yeah, fair enough. I was thinking about going back and exploring each of his deaths to see if it's at all plausible that he just survived some near-death experiences, rather than actually being resurrected. I watched a clip of his poisoning, and you do see an air bubble come from his mouth during that cliffhanger…

Not trying to be critical, because I loved the show, but it left me confused about Kevin's mortality. The pacemaker establishes that he's mortal like the rest of us, but that information seems to compete with all those times that he couldn't die. Am I a dumb shithead who's missing the point?

Whoa, buddy — pretty insensitive to make a comment about volume knobs, given the context here.

I know this is a big deal, but: maybe it isn't?

I hope he isn't fired before I have a chance to get him to sign my news-football

If Donald Trump likes extra carcinogens in his steak, I ain't gonna stop him.

There's a high road in DC, but it's outbound only.

I dunno. I don't think I like either of 'em. I'd bop 'em both if I could.
