The point is more that there's the large issue of discrediting people whose views are necessarily antisocial and incapable of contributing to civil discourse, and there's the smaller scale need to limit the harm they do. It's extremely convenient that some racist d-bag had his career trashed by a YouTube video, but

Please, the only way to experience a pre-PS1 game soundtrack is to connect your console to the UHF jack on 20-year-old monaural TV your dad scavenged from the curb in front of a bankrupt hotel, slap the side of that bad boy so the picture stops rolling, and then slap the top to get the sound connected.

I'm more annoyed by that cover art - releasing a video game soundtrack that uses some generic fusion of modernist and Manga styles instead of the actual video game box art is a slap in the face of pointless nostalgia.

Scrolling through these comments has been a treasure-trove of delight, and now here's a Lost Highway reference of all things? If you need me I'll be in the red hell-room, listening to Rammstein.

It is impressive how obtuse prescription labels are. Liquid medications put the concentration (usually in "mg per 5 ml" form) in a larger font than the administration instructions, which is how my wife and I ended up giving our baby 5 ml of a medication instead of the prescribed 4 ml.

Alternately, both parties are going to struggle with their priorities as we transition to an economic, geopolitical, and social epoch that we will only begin to understand in retrospect, they will (if we're lucky) give rise to splinter parties that diversify the political landscape or (more likely) slowly, painfully

While it's true that most TV shows want you to root for the protagonists, that's really a limitation of the medium, especially with comedies. I don't think Love always succeeds, but it takes a much more ambitious approach to exploring a relationship between two people who might not be good for each other.

One of the Republicans' real strengths has been convincing people that there's a substantial difference between rural poverty and urban poverty, specifically fostering a sense that urban poverty is based on laziness or moral terpitude, and rural poverty is based on adverse circumstances. Even though the exact same

When she's ballsy enough to just come out and say "I take no responsibility for my father's poor decisions, only his good ones," I'll be duly impressed.

That was my first thought - however the algorithm filters content, it could be difficult to separate "content about sexuality" from "content about sex."

(Pence laboriously hoists himself onto the edge of a teacher's desk)

There have been some interesting articles on this - the big issue seems to be that internet advertising is sold through middlemen in large blocks based on web traffic, so the companies purchasing ad space might not be "aware" of where exactly their ads are going to end up (unless the sites feature porn). It seems

This is sound advice, but there's something comically insane about the fact that you have to click through a series of submenus hidden behind the uninterpretable "three dots" controller in order to tell YouTube that you aren't a Nazi sympathizer.

There's nothing more depressing than targeted sex-crime billboards. At first you might think, "what a random thing to see," and then you see another one and realize, "Oh, it's not random at all - this must be a huge problem." When I lived in Oakland there were lots of billboards about child sex trafficking.

In terms of "solid advice from a fictional TV character," you could do worse than Mickey's line about holding another person responsible for a sacrifice they never asked you to make.

That sounds like a lot of effort from Harry Crane. Unless he could somehow poison the dog by watching TV.

This person is on a first-name basis with Kiernan Shipka and Hermione Granger but maintains some formality when talking about Emma Watson.

Man, I don't get why such a nice, normal guy is so hung up on this crazy lady!

It came out in 1991, so people who saw it during its initial release are now in their 30s and writing for/commenting on this website, which is no surprise. It also has a clever script, and the songs have aged well. Visually I don't love the 90s Disney look as much as their 40s/50s output, but I do prefer their mild

I think it could stand against Bambi as the most beautiful movie they've made, and it gets points for not containing fucking Thumper. It doesn't have the cleverest script, the catchiest songs, or the most taut pacing, but it's ultimately a question of what you're looking for.
