God damn it. Attempting to manipulate elections is bad even when a good candidate wins. I really don’t want to see anyone on tbe left lean into these tactics. Anti-democratic practices don’t magically become okay when you like the outcome unless you’re an authoritarian shitbag.

The weirdest thing for me is that I can see how you can make an argument that this is a wasteful policy that will cost more than it is worth, or that there’s a better way to integrate teaching cursive into the curriculum...but this article doesn’t do anything like that.

So you guys are just mad because Kasich is a Republican, right? ‘Cause this just seems like such a stupid non-issue to be bothered by.

I avoid hangovers by drinking responsibly and definitely don’t need to be drunk to have a good time. *farts self-satisfiedly*

“He should be livestreaming from the Oval Office,” McConney said.

Blade forever. 

Sometimes its just nice to laugh at something stupid instead of doing a close reading that would make an undergrad blush. 

That’s a fair point and, to be honest, I only responded to you because I laughed at the idea of supporting something in a capitalist society by not purchasing. I didn’t think that was what you were really suggesting.  

So to support Black Panther, the majority of people in the U.S./world should not buy Black Panther gear? 

While I totally agree with you 100%, I’m surprised this take was published by a GMG site in 2018. 

At least they will all be together, hopefully with only each other to harass.

time is a flat circle. 

Yeah, damn. That article is thorough. I was familiar with some of the bad associations and shitty statements made by some of the leaders of the march but I never would’ve guessed the organizations finances were so strange.

Underappreciated comment. +10 Cantos. 

If I had to guess, Merlan wrote about Walker and Icke because she’s into conspiracy theories.

Well this is kind of a bummer but, at this point, I’m not really shocked when an artist I admire turns out to have some harmful views. It’s disappointing to see that Walker has embraced such anti-Semitic crap (besides the alien stuff being straight up nuts.)

Oops I didn’t finish my thought and can’t edit now: I’m not surprised by his stupidity but am still in awe of its depths. 

“the truth is unregulated mass immigration has badly hurt this country’s natural landscape”

Worst. Circlejerk. Ever.
