Most people go through a period, either in high school or college, where they (i) read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged; (ii) mistakenly assume that they themselves are the Howard Roark/John Galt characters in their worlds; and (iii) act like self-righteous assholes for a while. Then they grow up, recognize the…

Poor Elon. Those sound like they were written by a fourteen-year-old with an agonizing crush.

Right? Normally when I found out a potential love interest in Ayn Rand... I run away. -_-

I’ve connected with people over Buffy fandom or authors and I’ve got friends who go to gaming or anime cons and meet other friends that way, but none of it has the air of “This perfect female humon is also a Libertarian, I’d like to buy her and start my own eugenics program!” that this did. :/

Counterpoint: the Elon story is A++++++!!!

I could see the Orwell; but not

Elon Musk, the eccentric, car-loving billionaire whose childhood was famously chronicled in the 2001 Steven Spielberg film A.I

Does everyone automatically judge people who enjoy Ayn Rand, or is it just me? I know she was great at prose... but isn’t that like saying you appreciate Hitler for his oratory skills?

How many dates does one go on with Elon Musk before he takes you home to meet his mothership?

Hey Hudson,

What made the situation worse is the fact that my son's mother is a fucking New England transplant and I had to listen to her talk a bunch of garbage about how the Patriots are the best and the Vikes suck. She doesn't even follow sports, even though she sports every single one of Boston's team logos on bumper stickers…

Fucking Favre. That year was the worst. I spent a good portion of my life hating him with a passion, and I was convinced he was washed up when they signed him. Of course, he proceeds to have by far the best year of his career, capped by the most Favre pass of all time to lose to the Saints. I wish his second season…

Fixed that for you, Drew.

I was in a bar in Portland surrounded by insufferable Seattle fans. Seattle fans living in Portland are the epitomy of shitty sports fans. Its a city that collectively says fuck sports but every sunday a bunch of tightjeaned, bearded idiots trot from the coffee house to have a PBR and pretend they can name one other…

Gather ‘round, friends. It’s time for Drew’s Annual Suicide Note.

Not NEARLY enough about Favre. Not only did he continue the Vikes’ history of failure, but EVERY SINGLE Packer fan knew he was getting picked off by the Bounty Hunters. I called it to a roomful of friends before the ball had left his fingers.

I've read The Road to Serfdom and Free to Choose.

Libertarian: One who thinks requiring restaurants to serve food to black people is an infringement of civil liberties.

China Mieville's essay in "Evil Paradises" points out how these seasteads and space colonies tend to look like suburban Costa Mesa, California circa 1980, which to the libertarian mind is the pinnacle of human civilization. It's a cramped, dull suburbia among the stars, a middle-class boring white utopia without an…

I am 100% in favor of shipping libertarians into space. Where do I invest my meager fortune?
