So ironic that the candidate least suited to address these issues was the only one smart enough to campaign on them.

To be fair, I think that the “Economic Disaster” that Trump was referencing had little to do with corporate returns and the increased value of capital, but rather the declining value of labor in the market and the out-of-control growth of income inequality and employment insecurity. Not that Trump would use those…

Your logic is insane. Just look at these numbers:

Isn’t “pissing all over The Concourse” what Hamilton Nolan does every week?

Diana, your work is incredible and important and thank you.

Well charges were never filed. End of story there right. Must be nothing at all to see. Lord knows upstanding police departments the world over have never neglected to do their job before when it came to student athletes and sexual assault. Phew, glad we can all Move on now 

...stick figure family...

1 of them CHOOSES to be different

“4. Pocket glasses”

But then you have the smallest of minorities of the world acting like they rest of the majority needs to change their ways.

Are you fucking kidding me? The sitting Vice-President of the United States didn’t have time to chat you up at a bookstore counter and you’re pissed? Not only that but you selectively remember his selection of history books to be pedestrian, despite the fact that you admit Cheney had been coming in for years and,…

Granted that many people do it in a way that is stupid and wearying - that doesn’t invalidate the broader principle…

Subjecting people to ideological purity tests (like this article does) is what’s suspect. You act as if the only possible way someone could not agree with Kaepernick’s protest is if they are a full-fledged bigot.

Her friendship with Scalia reflects a trait that’s now viewed as a weakness, but is actually more or less…

I like a lot of what you write. This - the idea that everyone who holds differing political views than your own should be shunned/punished, coupled with the assertion that one of the nation’s most accomplished, and beloved, jurists is “dumb” for not agreeing with you - this is not your finest hour.

The workers control the means of sick spinouts.

Not to mention the constant, unnecessary flourishes. Nothing like people spinning their lightsabers around for no reason.

I’d say there are also different types of toxic people. It’s not always an overt thing of people aggressively criticizing you and putting you down. It can be subtle. I was once friends with someone who would invite me over to hang out and seemed to enjoy the company but then in almost every conversation disagree with…
