The fastest amount of time that I’ve bailed on a game I paid good money for was about 45 minutes. That was Assassins Creed Unity. After playing all the way through the glorified tech demo that was AssCreed 1, the entire Ezio trilogy, and absolutely devouring Black Flag, I picked up Unity and just realized . . . I…

Donald Trump always reminded me of what it would look like if an alien, who could take any form he wanted to, came to Earth and wanted to blend with elite New York gentry. Like, you can recognize what he was trying to do, but everything is just a little off.

Pence is from that sort of religious extremist that believes everything is permissible to enact God’s will on Earth. In particular, he believes that God called him to serve as Vice President, and that Trump being an utterly incompetent, criminal moron was also God’s will, as a way of bringing Pence closer to the…

Louis CK at least put out an apology letter that expressed his regret, took responsibility for his actions and tried to recognize the role that his immense power-imbalance over the women he hurt played in enabling the abuse. Which seems to be a lot of what Anna Merlan was asking for.

They gotta stop doing this shit. If they want to make a movie about shooting things in space, then make that movie. You don’t need to license a game to make that movie. You don’t need to license Galaga to make that movie.

And before you say “Galactic Empire? That’s a Star Wars ripoff,” it’s actually the opposite. Asimov’s first Foundation story was in 1942, and then the novels began in 1951.

...of course, that sort of falls apart when you consider her ice powers going out of control and almost destroying everything, but there’s something going there for a bit.

New Republican economics: economic growth is driven by the aura of the President. If the President is weak, it creates “uncertainty” and drives down the economy. If the President is strong, and has a very good brain, then it relieves uncertainty, and allows the economy to flourish.

I just don’t buy into the idea that this one, specific act of defiance is the one thing the press absoltuely must do to be tough on Sanders, while every other example of them pushing back against her, standing up to her, and pressing for answers to the tough questions is just them lying down and failing to do their…

Well, first, remember that the reporters in the Press Corps are not united. They come from a diverse array of outlets, including Fox News, and some less reputable right-wing outlets that the President loves. So what you want isn’t going to happen because some of them don’t want it to happen. Maybe all the liberal news…

Remember that a central plot point from the book 1984 revolved around Goldstein. Goldstein is painted as the insurgent leader of the secretive “Brotherhood” that is opposed to Big Brother and the Party. But its ultimately revealed that Goldstein, at least as far as the protagonist will ever know, was an invention of…

Then Sanders would say, “I believe I’ve been quite clear on this, as I said . . . “ and she’ll just give the same BS answer she gave before. And she’ll do the same thing for the next reporter, and the next and the next. And then she’ll chide the press pool for asking the same questions she’s already answered “quite…

That question has been asked, and it got basically bupkis and faux righteous indignation from SHS.

Hospitals are required, by law, to treat any emergency room patient, regardless of ability to pay. Hospitals have to recoup those costs somehow, so they more or less tally up the total of unpaid procedures every quarter, divide it by the total number of procedures they do on average, and jack the prices of those…

The “perfect outcome” isn’t the right term for it. It’s a virtually unavoidable consequence of statistics.

If you’re an artist, copyright your shit.

I’m going to trust Mueller on this one. Whatever comes from his people has corroboration and support.

Basically if its by Napoleon Dynamite or one of the guys from Revenge of the Nerds, it’s not rape

At some point I began reading Watt’s lines in the voice of Tim Meadows’ Ladies’ Man character from SNL. Try it:

Honest question: is there anyone, anywhere, that doesn’t believe Trump regularly dropped N-bombs throughout his life (and much, much worse)?
