Did he really use that in his campaign? Because if so, I find it astounding. Not because he used the periodic table in a slogan, but because he used it in a slogan with the expectation that the population would understand it because they were educated. (which they clearly were since he lost) How on earth did we get…

California resident here. California is only a blue state because there are so many people in the Bay Area. The rest of California, by and large, is redneck/conservative AF. Even Sacramento, which acts like a progressive “real city” has its fair share of cow-town dudebros. We barely manage to keep it blue.

One of the white supremacist inland hellholes of which I speak, dear.

Did anybody expect any different? Brown’s never been much of a liberal and we’re teetering precariously on the edge of purpleness, anyway, and have done steadily since we nominally turned blue. The influence of inland hillbillies, beginning around the Davis recall, isn’t going away, and now we’ve got self-professed…

Perhaps they redid the age groups like the geniuses in youth soccer, so now my 6 year old is in U8 and playing with 9 year olds.

As someone who’s had it and didn’t know I had it, I found out I had when I passed out. The legs to tend to fail when you faint.

Governor Matt Bevin is not afraid to say what unhinged, lightly treasonous fear mongers are thinking,

My five year old also hates peeing. It’s inspiring for her to have a role model to look up to, showing that one day she too can face systemic, accumulated misogyny in the way of virtually any of her ambitions be president.

Cons have been threatening another civil war forever. They threatened FDR with it (and some businessmen and generals in the military tried to organize one), threatened Clinton with it and they definitely went all in on Obama; how many times have they threatened to overthrow the Socialist Muslim in the White House?…

I saw it after work one evening. I was pissed because the audience was full-on raucous through the trailers, throwing shit, giggling, being dicks. Then the movie started and within FOUR MINUTES there was absolute silence from everyone not up on that screen. I looked around an hour in and everyone was staring, eyes…

Roger Ebert gave Babe: Pig in the City two thumbs up.

I saw Mad Max: Fury Road at almost midnight on a Sunday, which was fine, except I walked out of the theater more pumped than I’ve ever been in my life to run through walls and fight and shit, and it was 2 a.m. on a Monday and the streets were abandoned and I had to go home and go to sleep.

What’s funny about this is Miller used to be an emergency room MD (how he got the idea for the original movie) and insisted that no inappropriate risks be taken.

Agreed. I didn’t know much about MM:FR, hadn’t even seen a trailer, and when it opened I heard MRAs were protesting it, so I figured maybe it would be good, and I went to see it. It not only was the best action movie I’ve seen (I’m a sucker for great stunts and practical effects), but I don’t think I’ve ever seen such…

Right? Last time I remember being that impressed on cinema was with Terminator II and Jurassic Park I and that was, like, one million years ago.

I was in full skeptic mood when it was (finally) about to come out- and I have never been so happy to be wrong. It was beautiful. And as a women it was amazing to see so many bad-ass women in the film with so little issue made of it in-universe. It was awesome.

Wife said no to this idea for Halloween. My 6 year old son has never seen the movie, but would love to be a war boy.

and Conan’s take on Doof warrior was even better

Man, I am still blown away by how much I love this movie. Thank you, George Miller, you awesome Grandpa. (also, thank you Hugh Keays-Byrne for being an amazing villain in two Mad Max movies)
