I’ve continuously fought the alt-right & others who spread racist lies & hate & will keep doing so

She knows how to move legislation through the house and pick up bipartisan buy-in that will persist in the Senate. It’s a great skill-set, it’s just not relevant now and in some ways is becoming a hindrance. If I believed she was capable of adapting to the current environment I’d say she get the job on experience…

Correct, wolverines are placental mustelids adapted to a colder climate. I was making a joke about parallel evolution, they have very similar body plans and they live in a similar ecological niche as solitary ground scavengers known in pop culture for their willingness to defend their territory from animals much…

Oh no! You forgot about Sea Otters!

Sigh, whenever I see something like this all I can think of is the introduction of “Landfill II” in Beerfest. It’s such a perfect parody of this trope, where a character needs to be written off but the production wants to keep the actor. But it’s also attached to 95 more minutes of Beerfest

In Australia, they call them Tasmanian Devils

She appealed to a base on the assumption that they hate other party more than they actually want to see any policy changes, then gaslit them when they noticed that she’s openly working with corporations at their expense. I’m not seeing a meaningful distinction here

This is exactly the kind of bullshit that turned the Midwest red two years ago, where Republicans seem like the less corrupt option just because they’re open about supporting corporations instead of rationalizing it 

Alright, fellow late-twenty/early-thirty-somethings. Let’s agree we’re not going to react to this, we’re just going to calmly say it’s condescending, weird that a generation that raised us would spend so much time laughing about our problems, and is based on a profile of stereotypes that treat weird specific internet…

I’ve come around to the idea that Pelosi and Schumer are the best possible choices for congressional leadership for the Clinton administration. But that didn’t happen, and “bipartisan deal-maker” is a skill set that is not going to be very useful for the next 2-6 years at least

This is not the first time Tom Wilson managed to undo the consequences of his actions

Neilsen is his protegee and her employment status has come up in previous articles about Kelly leaving or not, not sure about the chicken/egg of it all but it’s not surprising to hear about both possibly leaving in the same news cycle

Yes! The movie tie-in game was fun, but it cut out so much

Yup. I’m getting a sense that the racism and sexism are so ingrained here that it never occurred to anyone that Martin would actually assert herself and try to fill out the role. If the contract says what she says it does, that assumption is going to cost them

I was 11 and my younger brother was 9 when we got Red and Blue for Xmas our youngest brother was 8 when he got Yellow the next Xmas. My first nephew was born in April, and thinking in a few years he’ll have brothers, sisters, or cousins to go explore, battle and trade with is really making me misty.

Yeah, if weird grainy internet meme videos weren’t the absolute worst before, now I can’t help but assume any I see today are made by someone putting to use the skills they earned a few years ago figuring out how to insert Pepe the frog into shit

This is how packaging works and has always worked though: why is everything stack-able and brightly colored? Because that was Wal-Mart’s aesthetic/logistical need at the time. Same deal with the Sears catalog and “some assembly required.” Or switching from jarred preserved fruits and veggies to tin cans if you go back…

They’ll either look back in horror, or they’ll decide that they could never have been that vile so things must have been different back then and anyway it was all a joke and who cares it’s been so long ago and whatever who cares Nazis aren’t so bad anyway

I’m talking about every millennial young person. Generation Z, I think is what they call ’em.

If you aren’t a middle aged white person, a cast-member on SNL or work for Vulture, the show is no longer for you. They exist to be a Heel in the conservative media ensemble, if they go too far it’s not fun anymore to watch Trump come out and pretend to fight them. It’s a very conservative show with a progressive…
