There’s a ton of competition for the most galling thing Trump has said during his presidency, but announcing that he’s an “ally of peaceful protesters” after having peaceful protesters teargassed has to be towards the top.

The prosecutors did attempt to cut a deal earlier in the process, but the defense refused the offer and wanted to go to court. No prosecutor would’ve just not bothered to continue the case because the defense refused to plead out. So the fact that prosecutors had to waste a bunch of time to get these people to plea to…

Here’s yet another reason to be pleased that I don’t have Spotify.

I’ve got a few of these, but the one that’s most noteworthy is the time I was walking out of the adult section of a video store (because shut up, that’s why) and almost walked headlong into Robin Williams. He looked at me, and I walked out of the store as quickly as I could.

The deal is that they have separated from her face.

To be fair, in fact, Freud wasn’t actually competent in his profession, so the fact that he struggled with it was realistic. His ideas have been almost universally debunked. He spent the first part of his career claiming that cocaine was a universal cure, then went on to do case studies claiming that people were cured…

Unfortunately, it varies from state to state whether employees are legally bound to pay out employees when they get laid off.

I’m not mad. That’s why I’ve spent hours and hours responding to every last insult some rando threw at me on Twitter.

It wasn’t their decision. The City of Austin cancelled it, not SXSW.

It is kind of astonishing that he was willing to do Hot Ones despite suffering from Crohn’s. He looked genuinely ill. There are simpler ways of getting publicity.

He’s got a minimum sentence of five years based on one of his convictions.

You’ll be hearing from my lawyers.

It was going to win the Pulitzer in 1974, but it was so divisive to the board that they decided to award it to no one that year. There are bits where he’ll spend pages setting up a weird pun for no particular reason. There are parts of it that are among the funniest stuff I’ve ever read, other parts that are gorgeous…

I just like the fact that you start out by asking what’s wrong with Che criticizing someone (though, as others have said, it’s a ridiculously disproportionate response), but then blow off your comment by saying that it’s a rhetorical question so please don’t criticize me. Even trolls tend to be more logical than that.

That’s some good self-ownage.

Yeah, I remember one where the solution was that Bugs Meany was lying because he said that he pulled his wallet out of the back pocket on his left side with his right hand while running, and Encyclopedia Brown said that no one could possibly do that. I tried and it was not a problem at all. Bugs was framed!

Johnson’s take wasn’t as subversive as people like to pretend. It changed the stakes some, but it didn’t blow up the whole thing as much as midichlorians did.

FWIW, the original Star Wars Trilogy was directed by three different directors, Lucas, Lawrence Kasdan, and Richard Marquand.

I have some friends who used to run spaces like this in Oakland, and they’ve been frustrated in the way that this project was being presented. It wasn’t really attempting to explore the creative ecosystem that this tragedy destroyed.

I was a theater student in college when Carrie: The Musical came out. One of my professors saw it before it closed (I think it closed on Broadway within a week of premiering, if memory serves) and his comment was that, when Carrie sang the words “menstruation blues,” he knew it wasn’t long for this world. Of course,…
