Ah Maine, locked in an eternal battle with Rhode Island over who gets to be the Ringo of New England.

Ha, fair enough! I am not on Twitter, so I didn’t realize he was a meme there. Though now I have to wonder if he’s actually that dumb or if saying the most audaciously stupid thing just gives him the biggest possible megaphone to signal to the throwbacks, boosted by those of us who come to point and laugh. The fact…

Based on the linked article it seems like the birdseed was just used as ballast. Based on how it was worded, I had to wonder for a second if it wasn’t some new weird symbol they’re trying to use to signal to other white supremacists. You know how they love to co-opt innocent symbols and use turn them into sinister…

I had to read that twice and check the guy’s Twitter page because I was sure that had to be an ironic statement. Nope. Apparently, the freedumb crowd has decided the best way to all-caps SAVE AMERICA is through mindless brand loyalty and launching surgical strikes on my sarcasm detector. I shudder to think what his…

Even if we’re not talking about the constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of speech, but the general principle that one should be allowed to engage in controversial debate in good faith (free speech absolutists always seem to forget that part) without facing public sanction, that response was still insane.…

Yeah, it’s not self-righteousness to condemn and expect consequences for naked racism and harassment. That’s called regular old righteousness, Tucker, though I’m not surprised you wouldn’t recognize the difference..

Maybe Tucker really needed the help from that writer to come up with all the barely coded racism that’s fit to crap into your geriatric dad’s brain? Wouldn’t that be the sad cherry on top of the mayo sundae?

I feel like the “Gates Foundation” around “Dr. Faucet’s” neck is filling more or less the same role. It really is the *chef’s kiss* to the rest of the crazy on display.

On the other hand, you can’t really get a better visual representation of the racist, antisemitic, conspiracy fever dream that Republicans live in. If America ever gets through this transitional period in one piece, we really need a museum dedicated to explaining how the regressive right-wing created an alternate…

True facts: the Republican brain is 97% starlite.

He looks like a frat boy that made a wish on a cursed Bob’s Big Boy statue.

I just started a campaign with some of my friends over Google Hangouts. It’s set in the old 2E Planescape setting (which has always been my favorite) and I’m finishing up my massive set of house-rules for Pathfinder 1E to go along with it (currently in the process of rewriting all the damn janky-ass spells that have…

Fox could lose every single one of its advertisers and still keep chugging along with a full tank of racism. Most of Fox’s revenue comes from the unusually high subscription fee they get from cable providers. From Media Matters:

Carlson could complete his transition to full-blown open racist, lose all his advertisers, and still be kept on by Fox. Advertising isn’t as integral to Fox as it is to other cable companies because they charge cable providers insanely high subscription fees. The eyeballs Carlson draws from his racist audience are…

Sorry, I have a condition where when somebody talks about boat ownership I can only hear, “I would like you to put me in a guillotine.”  

Yeah, it’s a statement that shouldn’t be political and isn’t to any reasonable person. But when one political party has taken it as an implicit plank in their platform that “black lives are disposable and undesirable,” then it becomes a political statement to say they matter.

That line from the quoted Post article that began “Trump has always exhibited a healthy ego...” really smashed my brain into the brick wall of corporate-both-sides-press-speak. Barack Obama has a healthy ego. Elizabeth Warren has a healthy ego. Donald Trump’s ego is so bloated and all-consuming that I’m not entirely…

Yeah, you’d have thought that either Facebook would have rethought how it handles misinformation or we would have all rethought using Facebook, after that whole enabling-a-genocide thing. Maybe having the ability to see what some tool from high school you never talk to is doing isn’t worth mass graves?

Of course, we can’t actually call it a symbol of white supremacy because the snowflakes need their safe space.
