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!

My idea would’ve been not to back out of the nuclear deal. All of this is a result of that idiocy and this is only going to destabilize things further across the Mideast.

Killing him accomplishes nothing. There is already another person who has replaced him (that person is less of a celebrity, but other than that isn’t much different). Nothing will change because of this attack other than you are escalating hostilities against Iran and decimating the nuclear deal they still had with

Also, this is not equivalent to assassinating a general. It’s more like assassinating the Secretary of Defense. This guy was like second or third in command in Iran. No one is pretending that it’s sad that this guy is gone, but also, no one knows what is going to happen next. It’s an act of war, but Iran is not likely

The NYT opinion section is and has long been a massive bastion of stupid. As a friend posted this morning, Maureen Dowd wrote an article during the 2016 election called “Hillary the Hawk, Trump the Dove.” Looking pretty prescient, isn’t it?
