I do understand that the comic is meant to address bad-faith assholes on the right who use the “hypocrisy argument” to shut down all discussion of progressive reforms. So it’s not directly applicable to the argument that Libby is making, which is more “you should feel bad for participating in modern life because…

Yeah, all the holier-than-thou dickheads who think this way can kiss my entire ass. We live in the society we are born into, using whatever resources, tools and conveniences we can get our hands on. This is called “human nature”, and it is the absolute height of absurdity to scold people for enjoying things because…

No, you’re right. I thought I’d read somewhere that the dog was a girl, but he is clearly... not.

Ah, shit. I could have sworn I read somewhere that the dog was a girl... but my brain probably just invented that, so.

Despite the fact that she is *technically* a girl, she is, indisputably, a very good boy.

In my Mazda 3, if the fob battery dies, you just hold the fob up to the start button until it turns solid green, and then you can start the car like normal. Why in the world would Ford make this so complicated?

Yeah, except most people who get busted for dealing are actually powerless nobodies pushing small volumes on margin with extremely low profits, usually to fund their own addictions. The hardened Mexican kingpins you’re no doubt imagining are the exception, not the rule. Also, this line:

We didn’t get 3 inches, but we did wake up this morning to a light dusting (and wet/gray/windy/nasty weather overall) in Santa Fe. I mean, school lets out in 2 days! It’s supposed to be hot and sunny already! This has been the most brutal winter since I got here a decade ago, and I recently spoke to someone who’s been…

Wasn’t Baracka banned from The Root at one point for continuous aggressive stupidity and harassment of other commenters?

Yeah, everything she did absolutely makes sense as the logical endpoint of her character development. It’s all been HEAVILY foreshadowed for pretty much the entire series. The main problem is that the execution on these ideas in season 7 + 8 has been unbelievably piss-poor, mostly as a result of the needlessly…

Brown shoes with a navy suit is actually fine, if you’re the type who’s able to pull off somewhat bold sartorial maneuvers.

INVALID! YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID! ALL HAIL BERNARD, THE ONE TRUE GOD. WAR(!!!)REN DID NOT ENDORSE BERNARD IN THE SACRED CONQUEST OF TWOTHOUSAND-SIXTEEN. THEREFORE, SHE IS A TRAITOR!!!! A HERETIC!!!! OR, SOMETHING. ALL HAIL BERNARD! ALL HAIL BERNARD! 

The truth that most people in this country are completely incapable of grasping is that the President doesn’t have nearly as big of an impact on the economy as you might think. Presidential actions do have a bigger impact in the midst of a crisis, like the one Obama had to deal with. But despite his best efforts,…

This is the right take. Every time some wealthy white-collar criminal goes to Club Fed, we get all these screaming hot takes telling us that Actually, They Should Suffer Horribly, Like Everyone Else. Fuck that noise. Every prison should be Club Fed, and nearly every prisoner should be treated like Bernie Madoff. When…

Yeah, I should’ve clarified that I do have a slender body type. BR and J.Crew definitely cater to people who look like me.

I have several of these Grant non-iron dress shirts from BR, and I think they’re pretty great. The fabric is fairly thick and opaque, and while they’re not exactly 100% wrinkle-free, they resist wrinkling better than most of the other dress shirts I’ve tried.

What frustrates the hell out of me is that News+ content now shows up in the same stream as regular, free Apple News articles. I don’t have much interest in most of the content available on News+ and don’t want to add yet another $10/month subscription service to my portfolio. I’ve been using the free Apple News…

I’m a dude who actually likes to shop for clothes, and I’ve spent a lot of time and money over the years picking up good threads and learning how to wear them appropriately. My tastes tend toward classic menswear, and I do most of my shopping at places like Banana Republic and J.Crew. But funnily enough, my live-in…

Ugh, for real on the Twin Cities though. A (former) acquaintance of mine, who is quite literally the most racist person I’ve ever met, is from there. He idolizes Bernie and can enthuse for hours about progressive economic policies, but is also an actual Stormfront-meme-shitposting Nazi who starts rambling about how…
