You can act dismissive, and bringing Bernie into it is a neat trick, but you’re still advocating for a system that failed once and is determined to do the same thing again.

How great is it going to work for the Democratic party when an uninspiring establishment centrist fails to resonate with the base voters who are directly saying “This person is uninspiring and I do not want to vote for them” while the center says “You will if you know what’s good for you?”

The individual teams may never have claimed to be non-profit, but with all the tax breaks and sweatheart deals from local governments they get pretty damn close to tax-exempt

When was the last time ESPN had Diamond & Silk on? Check and mate

Most corporations could be described the exact same way, it’s just a matter of how closely the owners choose to be involved. Tencent doesn’t have a reputation for heavy-handedness towards their acquisitions so far, but they own what they’ve purchased and owners ultimately call the shots

Damn, I hope to see you elsewhere on the internet. You’re a damn good writer and I’ve always enjoyed your stuff. Good luck!

This is the same BS as it was when kids in the 50s were swiping coins for baseball cards or comic books, and every era since and before has done something similar. It’s bad and it’s wrong but it’s bog standard.

Finally, a way to foil KAOS without the hefty installation fees

The one that collapsed 9 months ago and irradiated all those villagers and their farmland?

I have my doubts engaging anyone who uses the phrase “Social Justice Warrior” in good faith, but here we go. These aren’t waiters at a restaurant and the NFL isn’t just a business. The NFL has positioned itself as an aspect of American life, and it brutalizes its players while depending on them to humanize the brand…

That is so Fetch

If the “talking dog farting in a bathtub” movie can’t maintain it’s narrative integrity without including a scene that inadvertently endorses the methods of child sex predators, as a society I think we’ve probably hit a wall in terms of visual storytelling

It’s not the predicable twist that makes it a bad movie, it’s the boring and ultimately pointless narrative leading up to the predictable twist. Signs had a twist that tied into the themes of the film, even if it was executed questionably, where The Village didn’t really have a thematic through line to begin with but…

Shyamalan was clearly moving into his “hack” period with this movie, but he wasn’t there yet.

Can’t there just be an opt-in Stupid School, where terrible parents send their children when they’re afraid that common knowledge can tear down the fragile beliefs they’re in the midst of indoctrinating their children with? Sure most of those children will end up hating their parents, but that was probably going to…

it seems that my game has autosaved at a moment when the boss is about to attack and I’m out of medkits

Ugh, I forgot about the autoplay videos

It’s an article encouraging you to watch a movie, but the way it’s written kind of relies on you having seen the movie and knowing the twist they’re writing around: Rosebud is Tyler Durden’s sled, which has been dead since the opening scene

Seconded. I typically use them as a breaking news aggregator and skip the opinion pieces, but the last few months it’s turned into an open sewer even on the news side

And then they’ll have no documentation and fewer rights when ICE comes knocking. Assuming they make it in the first place.
