It’s not so bad in the grays, friend. Sure most of what you post will be replying to someone else, but it’s very possible to trick yourself into feeling like you’ve earned something when you make it into the black. The nice thing about delusion is that it’s real to you

The Democratic leadership is a bunch of morally flexible schmoozers with zero charisma or ability to manage a conflict in the press who have to manage a base that now views the opposition as an existential threat, while the Republican leadership is a bunch of pissed off zealots looking to define themselves with how…

Maybe just stop trying to police other people’s language? Or just learn to read words you don’t like without getting into weird semantic arguments about the nature of the bodily discomfort different groups of people experience? Beyond how tired “it’s just science” is as an argument from internet non-scientists, your…

I have a suggestion: Let it go. It’s a word, you’re overreacting and politicizing something far more than a little word ever could

Originality meaning four sequels to a movie that rehashed a plot popularized by James Fennimore Cooper nearly 200 years ago and named it’s most important plot device “Unobtainium?”

Trump uses viral images for a reason, including the image with the article essentially helps Trump achieve that goal regardless of the article condemning it. The “I want to see” impulse is really important in building hype around propaganda

Is there a difference in liability for US publications? It seems like this rules out “anonymous tip” based reporting, especially in terms of documents

You’re right, but honestly this is a good first step for a lot of people who are devoting time and energy towards cracking an impossible and pointless code instead of saying “okay, well what do we want?”

The comments on this article are really nasty and I don’t really get it. Admittedly, I don’t think this is the best article (it’s a very detailed exploration of a tree, picked out of a forest of clunky writing decisions) but at a certain point this just looks like the comment section is getting brigaded 

This show wants it’s hero to overcome systemic obstacles, but it doesn’t seem overly concerned with what those obstacles are.

There are plenty of very good reasons not to flush a public toilet after you use it, but ultimately the system only works because most people under normal circumstances take the time

Disney just bought the rights to the Deadpool film franchise. It makes money, which they like, but it’s R-rated, which they do not. The PG-13 cut won’t cost or make much money, but the fan reaction will tell them if they have a locked in R-rated franchise they have to figure out what to do with, or if Deadpool will be…

Happy National Cat Day, everyone! (I guess we know at least some people who won’t be celebrating)

I tell friends visiting the city “If you’ve heard of them for deep-dish pizza, it’s probably bad.” To make it well, you really have to have a thick crust and cook it for about 30-40 minutes. Touristy places that thrive on turnover keep their crust thinner and add extra cheese to compensate. This ends up with a lot of…

“I just want to live in a world where people are judged not for their actions or words, but are taken at face value when they tell you how they’ve chosen to see themselves”

It is mandatory, there is no single-player by design

What, me worry? You seem to be folding-in a lot of different topics to try to find secret meanings. Blecch! You should try to see The Lighter Side Of...things

I know nothing about this guy besides what’s in the article, but I’m going to guess: he really enjoyed himself as a student athlete and generally has an immature streak that lets him relate more to younger people than other adults and vice-versa, but he’s spent most of his life in a gymnasium and is fiercely loyal to…
