I know those are the ultimate choices. It’s why I started my comment with a rock/hard place analogy.

Israel also has a known and admitted history of performing forced contraception, based on ethnicity. Their record on reproduction issues is not as sterling as you may think it is.

As someone who stopped reading X-Men comics regularly in the 90s — probably around the time all this evil started — this is definitely a bit of a revelation. And the picture in the article — w/ Wolverine (who I thought was dead???) and Omega Red and... Lady Wolverine(???) and Colossus with a goatee — is definitely a…

Applebees, Chilis, and TGIF (and Ruby Tuesdays for the matter) all occupy the same space in my mind. They’re just kind of one memory jumble of sub-mediocre brands I stopped frequenting when I became an adult. 

And a vote for Biden is a vote for someone who has enabled genocide. It is a rock and a hard place. I will probably vote for him but it will be with incredible shame and frustration. Voting for him will not bring me joy. It will simultaneously feel like a sacrifice and a selfish act. And that is a terrible feeling to…

No one believes Republicans will care or be better in any way, shape, or form, on the issue.

The vice squeezing Palestinian Americans and their allies — Arab Americans, Muslim Americans, and plain old “regular” Americans who care about innocent human lives — is indescribable right now.

It’s been years since I’ve been to most of the place on the list. The most recent is probably Dominos, maybe two years ago, as I live in a “pizza desert” with few delivery options and the first few years of parenting we found ourselves in dire need of a place that would provide something edible and preferably hot.

I like your energy, and your list. One possible edit would be to add Chipotle to it. Everyone knows Taco Bell is, well, Taco Bell. But Chipotle’s brand operates under the guise of a higher quality product, which may delude customers when in reality it is frankly equally embarrassing to be going to a Chipotle if you…

Today the slogan “it’s not TV, it’s HBO” feels like it can only be said with bitter irony. For me, over the past year Apple has definitively wrestled the crown away from HBO (sorry, “MAX”) as the destination for quality content. I can only think of perhaps two shows in the current HBO roster I’d count as “must see…

That sounds about right. Like I have no concrete idea but it has the ring of “truthiness” about it.

Haha perfect that show is pretty much the same niche. 

Man for a hot minute Alien Nation was my favorite show. I remember it being excellent but I’ve never gone back to watch it and have no interest in grainy youtube videos. Part of me wants to see if I can find it somewhere, but another part wants to just remember loving it and not risk discovering it was actually…

Having grown up in Jersey, I typically turn down my nose at most sandwich chains that seek to approximate the authentic sub sandwiches you can find at delis and pizzerias in the tri-state area. Given “Jersey” was in the name, I was primed to hate this place for “disney-fying” the mom-and-pop shop experience.

Up until recently Western media did only show the Israeli side — and the bias is still glaring. And she is telling people to deduce for themselves.

I’ve been meaning to check out Rap Sh!t but never got around to it. I feel like I would have been more motivated had Issa Rae, my favorite part about Insecure, had been part of the on-air talent. She would have definitely tipped me over from “that sounds interesting, maybe I’ll check it out someday” to “I definitely…

This isn’t only terrifying on its face. It broadly cements the GOP’s complete disregard for a “democracy by the people, for the people” and their penchant for minority rule.

All according to the plan — make Gaza uninhabitable, clear out the indigenous population, move in the settlers. Hamas forced the timetable up a bit but given Bibi’s well-known “help Hamas to help Israel” philosophy, why let a good crisis go to waste? 

I’m in the same situation. Wife and I were pretty set on getting an EV last year. Tesla would have been the leading candidate — but Musk’s bullshit made them a nonstarter for us.

People getting professionally punished for speaking out about the genocide is definitely true.
