You can save time by drawing a circle and writing “born before 1980" in the middle. Six of one, half dozen of the other

But, despite being fundamentally correct, Omar also did something incredibly stupid: she retweeted and then immediately deleted a tweet that accused her of anti-Semitism.

This debate attracts anti-Semites on the Dem side while silencing all except the most pro-Israel among right-wingers, so any time it’s going to happen the voices of two very different groups who are fine treating Israel and the Jewish religion/ethnic identity interchangeably are going to be the most passionate about it

You’re absolutely correct, the only real difference between now and a year ago is Cynthia Nixon and AOC showing what little appetite there is for this type of political deal among urban Dem primary voters. If “job creation” doesn’t offset “corporate giveaway” among voters anymore, especially nationally, you’d probably…

Yup. Last year there were a bunch of politicians with an eye towards the national door or too secure to care available to sell it to the public, now the landscape has shifted those doors shut or they’ve been voted out/put on notice. This is Amazon trying to get some of those politicians’ rich friends to pick up the…

To my knowledge, the current measurement standard of women hasn’t changed in 7 years. So be exact, how many “binders full” are we talking here?

Hitman is free on PSN, which is my total budget for games until after my wedding. I played PS2's Hitman 2 and couldn’t get past the second level so this is hopefully a redemption tour, anyone have any pointers?

It’s like watching Sisyphus finally get the rock up the hill, then immediately turn around and push it to the bottom of the hill himself

Ugh, this is like when someone wants to really break down how they’re “spiritual, but not religious.” You don’t get to wear your pearls while shit-talking oysters

I hope so, but the entire scenario never really broke out of nerd circles in a big way and within those there’s a big push to rehire Gunn. Even Kevin Feige has tried, and there are not many people he can’t overrule on these things. Seems like the issue is that one of the few people who can was also the same person who…

Was it the one where Deborah expresses her regrets about marrying into a toxic family of emotional abusers and codependent enablers by passive-aggressively criticizing literally everything?

I grew up in the Midwest too, this stuff definitely “happens” in a broad sense of structural racism or people/groups actively hating other people/adopting racism as their transgression du jour (When they were most active, the national organization of the KKK was based in Indiana, not a Southern state). But the right…

I want to agree, but shouldn’t there be some kind of melting involved? It’s those few minutes in the oven that turn bagels topped with cheese and meat into Bagel Bites. Unless...lox and cream cheese is also pizza?

There’s no reason for him not to, if TV has taught me anything about law. I doubt the prosecutor is offering a deal or the judge would be more lenient because he skipped the trail, so all he’d be doing was forfeiting his longshot-but-real chance to dispute evidence and maybe weaken the case against him

It’s perception more than anything. Trump is a petty asshole so obsessed with pomp that he threw out a month+ shut down as soon as someone threatened his cameras and his important setting-but then when you see how quickly the public and media can forget all those weeks of failure just off the projection of strength…

Or one finger of the monkey’s paw just curled up

Those MAGA shitheads who got so comfortable ignoring every last thing except their desire to see the other side lose? You just crossed the first mental threshold they did. There’s always going to be a reason to cross the next one too

Jimmy Savile, Jerry Sandusky and Michael Jackson used charity as a way to rise above suspicion while getting access to a vulnerable pool of potential victims, and increase the odds that anyone who could catch them in the act had a reason to look the other way. The facility is fine only as long as Tyler isn’t allowed…

They announced that they were dropping the “@__.edu” sign-up requirement and I thought “oh, I know where this is going” and deleted my account

I haven’t played an AC game since Black Flag, I never viscerally hated III, but it was far and away the worst of the six games I played. I think the combination of a four hour tutorial ending in a “twist” that was spoiled if you glanced at the cover art and discovering that Kristen Bell’s character was written out in…
