It’s all made up. What they supposedly want, what they don’t want, etc. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

Must be quite the job, to manage expectations like that...

Because a lot of men have been poisoned by the manosphere on social media where they’re told that free-thinking women are the source of all of their problems when, in reality, it’s late-stage capitalism’s fault.

They've been beyond parody for decades. 

Oh how one wishes that incredibly creative people like Mr Waititi would create new works. No reboots, reimaginings, remakes, revisits... new. Yes, funding such an endeavor lacking in a ‘fan base’ or ‘nostalgia’ will require more effort, more risk; but then it would be truly associated with this creative person’s name,…

I’m not sorry to see her go, but I’m sorry that this is the reason, and I expect that her replacement will be worse.

I should preface the rest of this by saying that I haven’t historically felt strongly about celebrities who aren’t Taylor Swift.

I know pointing out spelling/editing issues on Giz is a bit gauche at this point since it’s more or less a given that they’re going to be present, but the former English teacher side of me won’t be satisfied until I point out that “everyday” is only a compound word when it’s being used as an adjective, i.e. “an…

I believe the actual final installment will be titled “A Dance With Dragons”

Reinvigorating the Salton Sea community is the last thing California needs. It was developed by two brain-dead ideas. The first was a short-circuit canal to bring water to use it as farm land. When that blew up and it drowned, the farm region there came project to bring salt-water fishing to an inland location, which…

In Texas freedom means “be exactly like me or I’ll kill you”.

I’ve got some good news, you don’t actually agree. You (rightfully) believe that both of those things should be offered, where Cruz thinks that neither should exist.

I would think that room would be very distracting to movie watching. Not to mention the acoustics.

I believe the world is better with people like Pippa Garner in it.

This country has an appetite for self-destruction. Be it climate change, sensible gun legislation, abortion access, funding for childhood programs, or a social safety net, we just do not care. It’s weaved into our very culture of hyper-individualism and reverence for violence as a means of resolving problems. It’s…

These people want children to die. These people want to force women to give birth to unwanted children they (Republican politicians) would let starve. These people want women to die. They want to burn books. They want to erase the history of oppression of black and brown people in this country from being taught to…

I honestly think Ginni Thomas herself, or someone very close to her orbit, leaked the document. 

What’s really interesting is that the tech oligarchy, defined by people like Musk and Peter Thiel, don’t believe in democracy as a valid social order. They’re extremely liberal libertarians who don’t respect or support government, even if it’s ostensibly by the people, for the people. So when he says “vital to a…

Imagine claiming that you can’t afford to pay a wealth tax because all your money is tied up in assets and investments and isn’t liquid enough to be given to the government in the form of taxes and then dropping $44 billion to buy Twitter.
