The coverage of the failure to extend the unemployment benefits by the senate was particularly infuriating in the way that so many outlets framed it as democrats and republicans fail to come to agreement and allow benefits to expire. The Democratic controlled House of Representatives passed a bill in May. The…

Indeed, the constant churn of political and corporate malfeasance sure can be dispiriting. And it is true that, for most people, their actions are not going to have a huge impact by themselves. But huge impacts do happen when a lot of people work together, and a lot of people working together is made up of individuals…

If you want to hold on to political power, rule 1 is to convince the masses that there’s no point in trying to get politically involved. (Surprise! There is, indeed, a point.) Unfortunately, the powerful have done a really good job of convincing people that at best they can get involved by voting once every couple of…

These conservative cucks and f*cks WANT the end of the world, by any means necessary, so they can return to the 50's when it was totally okay for them to be as publicly racist, sexist, homohobic, xenophobic, etc. as they want. Anything politically correct to them is anathema, because a constraint on their ability to…

Trump is an idiot, but seriously what does flying a flag have to do with socialism.

Because the shuttle was a really good idea, after all - expensive, extremely hard to maintain, marginal safety rating, no way of really aborting a failed launch, complex... Yeah, that’s the idea. Gliders have problems.

The thing is they never capped ticket sales so all those fake sales did not, in any way, limit the actual turnout. It gave the campaign false confidence, yes, but is not responsible for the empty room. So they got trolled *and* still didn’t have supporters show up. 

No, I’m DNAPL. But if a comment bores the everloving freaking snot out of just one commenter, my work is done here. I mean, who doesn’t like to dig deep into fundamental physical properties of materials? Especially water, the universal solvent. Speaking of energy sinks (or energy vampires), our oceans were once…

Damn water and it’s magical physical properties. For example, specific heat capacity of air (at 1 atm, 25C) is 1.01 joules per gram per degree celsius. Fucking SI units. It’s really 0.24 BTU per pound per degree fahrenheit. Anyway, water has a heat capacity four times greater than air at 4.16 joules/gram/C. Ice, BTW, …

“Disappearing sea ice won’t cause sea levels to rise like Greenland’s land ice will (that’s a whole other issue in Antarctica, though).”

I have no fear of living near a nuclear facility. There is one about 20 minutes away and I don’t even think about it. In fact I'm pretty proud of the fact I get my power from there. I've been getting green power for the twenty years I've been in my house. 

Yeah, all things considered, nuclear power is actually pretty freaking clean as long as the waste is disposed of properly. Note, this of course depends on using modern reactors and following guidelines. Would I want to live near one? nope, but I wouldn’t want to live near any industrial zone.

Bill Barr should spend the rest of his grotesque life being endlessly waterboarded. 

The comic didn’t work because 99.99% of the dipshit cops using the Punisher logo have never read a Punisher comic in their lives.

The extra credit irony is that Disney is infamously control-freaky about it’s intellectual property and hasn’t exactly been shy about setting the lawyer loose on anyone who even looks sideways at, let alone violates, its trade-marks.

It’s sad that this is scaring people like you off. You’re justified of course, but it’s still sad.

They know they’re on camera. The scary thing is that they don’t care.

It’s like, do your Police forces even understand how video capture technology works?

Cops right now are making the best case for abolishing police departments.

Clearly these bricks were being dropped off so antifa can build new gulags to lock up America loving patriots. This is all being funded in cryptocurrency by George Soros.
