These days it also means figuratively according to Merriam-Webster.

“I’m not sure why she gets a free pass on this site. She’s the lesser of two evils...”

Sorry, but I’m with Bill Maher: Fuck that false-equivalency, “lesser of two evils” bullshit.

One guy is a serial sexual assaulter, liar, and racist. But Hillary sent some emails incorrectly.

My advice is to vote as soon as you can. These are legitimately unsafe times for our Democracy. The FBI is LITERALLY in the tank for Donald Trump. Think upon that for a moment and then go and VOTE.

Ha! There’s a Trumpence sign in a yard around the corner from me. About a week ago, I was walking my dog pretty late at night and was, shall we say, a bit tipsy and my first reaction was to rip that sucker down. But my neighbors are super paranoid, even though we live in a ridiculously safe area, and there are…

People’s inability to just shut up about their own politics when paying to see an artist perform has always stumped me. In 2006/7 Roger Waters toured. The second half of the show was him performing Dark Side of the Moon, but the first half of the show was a mixed bag from his entire catalog. He played “Leaving Beirut”…

Out of a 20k stadium, a lot of people are going to be there because they got comped tickets somehow, like through work or friends, so they end up going to shows of comedians they aren’t really fans of and wouldn’t pay to see or even watch on TV. I’ve been in that position before (although I didn’t walk out or…

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that there is an intersection of Amy Schumer fans and Trump voters.

Today I learned: Perth looks like Orange County.

Obama is so handsome. Not just by comparison, but goddammit. It’s like putting a glass of French wine next to a half empty PBR that’s mostly backwash.

This is one of those Picture Worth a Thousand Word moments:

Probably angry over the lack of availability of meth during a hurricane 

I’m like “You guys do realize you are playing a video game primarly marketed at children, right?” I’m loling so hard at these folks who seem aghast by a Pokemon that doesn’t seem manly enough.

Yeah, the conspiracy people are bananas. I used to live in France, and the whole no one bothered to point the security camera at the buildings entrance is such a typical French move imo. There’s quite a bit of half assing in a way that’s amusing and baffling to Americans. Living in it was equal parts amusing and…

and one could argue that most memoirs, from a factual standpoint, are not true. they are one person’s totally subjective account of a series of events culled together into a fabricated narrative structure or framework.

memoir falls under the distinction of creative writing for a reason. it’s not journalism. if you…

He finished his cigarette, and gave it a flick. The butt caught in the wind and danced for a few feet, but neither noticed. He looked into her eyes. A deep, longing gaze. It was all she could do to resist being taken then and there on the rocks. The ocean breeze added a salty, spicy note to the electricity that was…

while i find the overall proposition this piece enticing from a logical standpoint, i find the argument that supports it entirely lacking.

yes, the point of journalism is to convey truth and true things to the public - that is what makes journalism a civic pursuit, and an admirable one. however, there’s a big…

I like Banksy too and I also think it’s cool that he’s pseudonymous and if I found out his identity I’d keep it to myself. I couldn’t give a fuck who these people really are, they’re the artists and if part of their art is being pseudonymous, then leave them be. Other than “we need to know who that person really is”,…

My local sheriff’s department just had to respond to two calls very close to my house. They found nothing the first time. Second time? Deputies report seeing a clown standing in the driveway. They tried to make contact and the clown ran off into the woods.
