Yeah so here’s the thing, Kylie: You are not a political strategist. There is absolutely a reason he’s not saying the word.

If we on the left don’t start understanding the Realpolitik involved in getting what we want, we’re doomed.  It’s time to wise up.

I’ve asked people who say things like “guns aren’t any more deadly than knives, bats, bombs, etc.” why they don’t just get those things to supposedly defend their houses.  And you know what?  Not once, not a single time, has any of them answered that question.

You are correct. Sam is just an insufferable idiot.

AAAAAGGHHHH....THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. One of the grossest, and yet most common, responses when you point out how the prevalence of guns contributes directly to the number of gun deaths, is “Well, most of those are suicides,” as if (1) the lives of people who die by suicide aren’t worthy of consideration and (2)…

That’s definitely right. G-rated movie transformed over time from meaning “ movie without significant problematic content” to meaning “movie for young children.” I don’t think the MPAA even gives seriously consideration to whether a movie about, and directed towards, adults should be rated G these days.

He failed upward for a long time on the ‘engineer’ myth because he wasn’t clowning himself publicly all the time.

Blame Gizmodo, io9 used to be a separate site, but then gizmodo took it over.

Musk is a good money man and a decent engineer..

Daily reminder that Ted Cruz liked a porn post on Twitter on 9/11. 

So, this will be the AVC’s third article lamenting the scourge of this song while not bothering to explain the reason for its “ascendency” in presence, leaving it seeming like a ‘sui generis’ hit arising from general right-wing online folk.

“which would be enough to cause the Log Cabin Republicans to wake up and stop endorsing him.”


If you’ve time traveled here from early 2017, I have some crucial health information that I need you to take back to your people. It could save millions of lives.

Yes and also the same people who oppose even a modest social safety net, let alone UBI.

Your example is rather bad IMO. “Old Town Road” is purposefully tongue-in-cheek, and the lyrics reflect that, especially considering Lil Nas X is known for his sense of humor and for taking the piss out of the music industry. His later songs even acknowledge that “Old Town Road” was written with a sort of winking…

Does Taylor Swift bear any responsibility for her fans encroaching on a friend’s special day?

You can’t be this credulous. 

For one thing, talking like Lazlo is a lot of fun.

This is fascism. Murderous thugs in the streets egged on by fascist Republicans like Trump. Meanwhile, other Republicans defend Trump and hope they can weasel their way to the top of the fascist pile. If you are a Republican, you are condoning fascism. You are a fascist. You are a Nazi.

Maybe I’m alone in this opinion, and nothing against Kristen Schaal, but I don’t think we need more of The Guide.
