“This doesn’t seem to make sense, and my latest video asks (rhetorically, of course) why white men are so angry”

Is it too hard to just ask angry white men why they’re angry when they’re so darn ubiquitious? Hell, just go bug HamNo. He’s probably the single crankiest white dude on the entire Gawkmodo payroll.

“...I challenge you to start paying attention to the straws you get in your iced coffee, smoothies, soda, and cocktails. When I’m in New York or LA the number of plastic straws I receive is often closer to 10 a day.”

I go through maybe one straw a week.

It’s a strange exercise to try to assign modern morality to people who lived in the past.

Bar trivia: Where I finally found a use for everything I learned in AP English.

“Easy Creeper, that’s my name, uh, uh, uh...”

“It is, in a very real way, a chance to pay back America for its belief in you—to use the incredible gift you have been given to do the maximum amount of good that you can in the time you have left.”

Perhaps he thinks that weird ziggurat they’re building in his honor in Chicago is paying America back for its belief…

Glow is back! Will this be the season that the elusive Emmy for Best Performance of Marc Maron as Marc Maron finally ends up in Marc Maron’s cynical hands?

“In 2002, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration warned that keyless ignition systems would be vulnerable to issues relating to human error, and that in 2006 mandated that warnings must be in place to ‘catch a driver’s attention before he or she exits the vehicle without the keys.’”

Eesh. Two engineering degrees from the University of Minnesota (aerospace and mechanical), a master’s in philosophy from San Francisco State, a JD from Fordham Law, and pursuing a Ph.D. in philosophy at Yale. College has to end at some point.

I’m glad they went with the ending they did. It’s possible it could have a “Red Wedding” feel to it for anyone who didn’t read comics back in 1991.

I think a bunch of Avengers: Infinity War action figures that are nothing but empty packages would be fucking funny.

I loved Condorman as a kid. When I see groupings of similar-looking black cars on a highway, I still think of the bad guys in their porsches.

“In the wake of mass shootings, gun sales tend to skyrocket as well. However, this didn’t seem to come to pass following Parkland or last year’s Las Vegas and Sutherland Springs mass shootings.”

It came to pass after Parkland. Going by the FBI NICS background check stats, background checks jumped 400,000 from…

Perhaps the people of Busan are still salty about the Black Panther wrecking one of their finest back alley casinos.

“...how he manipulated the media for maximum coverage without having to spend a dime...”

The media were willing partners. They played a very large part in creating the pop culture presence that is Donald Trump in the last 30 years, right up to giving him his own primetime TV show. On the campaign trail, all of the…

“Case in point: The Shadow, Alec Baldwin’s best shot at full-on movie stardom.”

Nah, that would be 1990's The Hunt for Red October.

Will this spell the end of his career as the voice of America’s out-of-control chest congestion?

You’d think a “high profile white supremacist” wouldn’t have to keep inviting himself to speaking gigs on campus.

I came down with “bullet fatigue” about ten years ago. It wasn’t really a conscious thing. Despite taking a round through my kitchen window on New Year’s Day a couple of years ago, I don’t live under a shroud of fear regarding firearms.

It’ll also get bogged down by the fact that, in most states, only local gun dealers know who has what and where. Once the feds start trying to pull the ATF Form 4473s that gun dealers hold on to, those forms are going to be destroyed, either by the dealers themselves or mobs of their customers.

Sounds like what you wanted TRON: Uprising.
