WTF am I supposed to put into stockings?

I like this video from UK TV show Monkey Dust showing what was really going on when you connected to the Internet via dial-up.

Conservatives have hated free speech for a very long time, because free speech tends to spread non-conservative ideas. Free speech causes change.

I spend my days writing about Roombas from the 1950s, teen hackers from the 1980s, and movies that American presidents watched while in office.

I thought I’d share Airplane with my kids so put it on a month or so ago. I stepped out to get a drink for literally 60 seconds and forgot about that scene. I got back and my one daughter says, “Dad, why was everyone acting so weird and why did that one woman not have clothes?”. Me, “Oh....um yeah sorry I forgot about…

I get it. There’s not much I like to do more than watching birds, if you know what I mean.

Health Insurance and health care are in effect the same thing. If you don’t have the former you can’t have the later. Who cares if you have the best health care in the world if you can’t afford to access it.

You got shared to Kotaku. We’re in a war with Gizmodo to see who has the worst comments section.

Apparently one of the perps was also in a hoodie from another neighboring school in the diocese. Racism may not formally be classified as a mental illness, but it’s certainly a contagious disease

Ironically, Starship Troopers is the perfect litmus test for ideology. Liberals correctly recognize it as satire, while conservatives take it’s jingoism to heart.

Please let the federal workers strike so we can replace them from the private sector. The whole country will thank you endlessly once we get better service at a cheaper cost.

The private sector.

Your premise assumes that the private sector would replicate all of the functions that the government currently performs.
