LOL. So you ARE a baby boomer. Keep on truckin’ friend!

YES. Except I’m guessing you won’t, because then you couldn’t claim that it killed a bunch of people, and would instead have to admit that every murderous autocrat who professed a devotion to communism was actually betraying Marx.

Dude, common. You just provided a list of authoritarian regimes that killed political dissenters. What the hell does that have to do with the economic doctrine of communism?

It is people like you, my friend, who are the problem so glibly referred to at the end of the article.

I was a greasy teen in the 1990s, and bore witness to the emergence of the Simpsons. I have ZERO memory of anyone ever complaining that Simpsons fans were just too much. Most of the time, my friends and I were too busy parroting the show’s best lines, which often just referenced 1970s pop culture (a particularly…

You left out the best part, which is the granular details of Nenshi’s plan, which, unless I’m mistaken, is a tripartite scheme where the public, the government, and the owners each pay a third, with the added caveats that the owners get all operational profits from the new building, but have to pay significant…

I saw Del Toro do a one hour Q & A at Fantasia Fest in Montreal just over a year ago, and I must say, he came off as an extremely smart and extremely cool human who is deeply passionate about film. Obviously I don’t know him, and can’t speak to his actual personality, but I quite enjoyed listening to him talk shop for…

Dude, common, you’re from Canada. Have you never met an Albertan?? They love hockey jest as much as Texans love football. Also, Calgary is a huge, rich city that would have zero issues filling the seats of a new arena.

At the very least, why not put a little plaque next to these statues which provide famous quotes from all these shitheels.

Since you asked, I used to work at Holt Renfrew (in Canada), which is the rough equivalent of Neiman Marcus, or Nordstrom.

Keeping in mind this was close to ten years ago, but in my experience, it’s kind of a crapshoot. I worked menswear, and off the top of my head, I would have gladly pushed brands like Paul Smith, APC, Zegna, or Fillipa K. What they had in common was a focus on good fabrics, classic details, and of course, good fit. And…

I could care less what Melania wears, but as a former “luxury” clothing salesperson, I can say without a doubt that D&G is only popular because of marketing, and definitely not because of quality. Not only did we get way more D&G returns than any other brand, but a lot of their stuff visibly looked shitty. It was…

Not a bad pick for winner, except for one thing: a few years back Levi’s decided to remove the reinforced crotch, which, if you do bike a lot, is always the first thing to go. Otherwise, they are pretty fantastic.

In far too many cases, the so-called style seems to dictate that every female character remain jerk off-able, which is both boring and weak.

You’re not wrong...

Given that solitary confinement is essentially torture... maybe not solitary confinement?

As far as I can tell, right-wing Libertarianism is just Objectivism overlaid with a rigid ethical framework (itself arbitrary), which makes it more of a philosophy than a fully formed political ideology.

I know that almost nobody wants to hear an allusion to 100-year old German literature, but I would say that Trump is Mynheer Peeperkorn from Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain. He’s incoherent, loud, and thoroughly shitty, but everyone is weirdly drawn to him. I think he’s supposed to represent the cult of personality,…
