It’s the same logic in both cases.

The series doesn’t follow the comic at all. The comic is done in a 1960s camp style, and the overarching plot involves a lot more mysticism and Lovecraftian (comedy) horror. There’s also not just zombies, but also vampires were-animals, and ghosts. The protagonist, Gwen Dylan (not our Liv Moore), isn’t actually a true…

One of the most absurd examples of privilege is not necessarily that she gets to walk around campus with a rifle. I agree that a black activist who did that as a political stunt would probably be treated mostly the same. Political stunts tend to get that deference. But there’s immense privilege in claiming that you…

Giuliani’s behavior is consistent with being an Old Lawyer (capital O, Capital L). Old Lawyers suck. They don’t do research. They don’t study the law in any sense. They don’t review documents or take time to understand the facts. They coast on the institutional knowledge they’ve gained over 25, 30, or 40 years of…

It was only smart in the sense that it allowed Don Jr. to scoop The Times. So that’s great for his budding career as a cub reporter investigating his own corruption. If his interest was exonerating himself, it wasn’t a smart play at all.

There are two types of Christians: 1) those who believe that if you follow Jesus you will be saved; and 2) those who believe that if you don’t follow Jesus, you will be damned.

This is totally a conspiracy theory idea:

Pence isn’t clever enough to pack intentionally pack Trump’s cabinet with incompetents with the goal of making Trump look so colossally bad that he is either assassinated or impeached.

It’s also possible Pence is swept up in the Mueller investigation. He was running the transition team, and either was too dumb to know what Flynn and others were doing, or he knew and ignored it.

It’s a kinder, gentler cop show than your typical modern cop drama.

See, that’s the thing about Hillary. Either her ‘graft’ is infinitely more amateurish than The Donald’s, or it’s infinitely more sophisticated. Like most Hillary conspiracy theories, it has to vacillate between both extremes constantly in order to fit the narrative.

It doesn’t matter if incels and proto-incels read this. What matters is that make the incel sub-culture known to more people overall.

Our society already calls attention to incels and proto-incels, already. You can search any long-running crime procedural and find at least one episode where the nerdy computer boy kills the hot girl because she wouldn’t date him.

It’s not that funny when you realize a common way to conceal corrupt or fraudulent payments is to break them up into smaller payments so they don’t draw attention.

United’s policy now mostly aligns with other airlines.

No, Mueller wouldn’t do that as a political gambit.

As much as I have tried to compartmentalize my distaste for Trump separately from my feelings towards Republicans as a whole, people like Meghan McCain make that really difficult with this culture of victimhood.

• He also “wondered aloud,” according to these sources, “how much more [Rob] Porter would have to endure before his honor could be restored.” [NBC]
  

He saved past teacher evaluations which appear to show he was always highly rated. That’s good. If you’ve got 3 years of good employee evaluations, and then suddenly you’re fired for a bunch of piddly crap, it’s clear evidence you were canned because you pissed someone off.

Where they are, even though it’s not a particularly good wall, and even though a small percentage can climb to the top—they have to be in extremely good shape, but a small percentage can climb that particular wall.
