If you already own the digital versions, as I do, the Rogue One sneak peak stuff was added to your ‘copy’ of A New Hope (on iTunes, at least. I can only assume they did the same for Amazon purchasers).

It’s $45 on iTunes to buy the complete set of all three Indiana Jones movies. Only slightly better.

No. It’s been twenty years. Get over it. Sorry.

Plus, I honestly believe they just also genuinely enjoy screwing people over.
I think we’re dealing, at that level, with a breed of politician that will not be swayed by phone calls from the opposition. Daily or otherwise, I think they will be ignored. Take gun control, for example. Study after study, poll after poll, shows that something on the order of 80% of all Americans want comprehensive…
Harris County, which includes Houston and a bunch of its suburbs, went for Hillary - which I thought was unsurprising until I found out it had been red until 2008. It’s the surrounding red counties that have been overriding it, and this year was no exception. Fort Bend County was the only neighboring county that went…
Absolutely. And where I live, it’s doubly bad because not only are the local officials all local businesspeople, they’re all Republicans. Every one of them. Come election season, there isn’t a single Democrat that runs - ever. We have a local Democratic party that has meetings I’m going to start attending in January,…
Fuck white America. Just fuck us so hard. I know it’s not all of us, but it’s enough. 60 million people either feel this way or voted on November 8th knowing that this kind of thing would be the norm going forward and it wasn’t a deal breaker for them. Another 90 million eligible voters - majority white - watched…
Fair point! A lot of politicians are definitely self-serving. He is the most overt about it. Definitely a fair point.
Even if they eliminate the VRA, that makes things tougher, not impossible. It’s not like things roll back to the days when blacks were 3/5ths of a person. It doesn’t eliminate the 14th and 15th amendments. Nobody loses the right to vote if the VRA is gutted, it just makes it more difficult; it makes enforcement of…
I understand very well what’s going on already, and that it’s only going to get worse a month from now. None of that supersedes the democracy itself. Things are going to be fucked up for a while, and I, and you, and a lot of us, are going to be doing our damnedest to make sure that it doesn’t get as bad as it could be.
Sure, but those are people. Companies, especially media companies that will put him on TV, are different. After all, he’s the most self-serving person ever to hold the office, right? We all agree on that. If self-serving is his defining characteristic, then it stands to reason that he’d even get back in bed with…
That’s simply not true. Why must we wait for a supermajority in the Senate? That’s the same kind of thinking that crippled us in the first couple of years in the Obama presidency when we held Congress - we had a majority, but not a filibuster-proof supermajority, so we didn’t get as much done as we could have. We…
You misunderstand. He doesn’t have a vendetta against anyone. He has publicly-aired complaints that get him in the news for a while. That’s it. If SNL asked him to host next week, he would accept without hesitation and play it up as a yuge win for him. “Look at how SNL came crawling back to me after all this! Because…
Someone, somewhere has to stand up.
We know that the Republicans plan on undoing every single law, executive order, and regulation of the Obama administration - and we know they have the votes and disrespect for tradition necessary to accomplish such a thing. It will be as though it never existed, from a domestic perspective. How can he be so passive,…
I really do think the tradition of outgoing presidents ensuring a peaceful, steady and stable transfer of power is vitally important
So, one time I got an email from a celebrity who turned out to be a huge dick. Got an email out of the blue one day from Absalom Kumalo, the Prince of Nigeria. Whoa, right?! Turns out, his father the King had just died that morning, and there was a massive coup happening there, and he needed my help getting his family…
I grew up in New England, learned to drive there (drove in plenty of snow), but moved to the south when I was a teenager. Fast forward a little more than 20 years, I’m on a road trip with my wife and infant daughter from New Mexico to Colorado. Figured, I’ve driven in snow before. I’m a New Englander. I grew up with…
That’s a fair point. I didn’t consider that.
