When it comes to social issues, you are correct. There’s a huge difference. When it comes to economics, then, no, there’s very little difference.

I keep waiting for this axe to fall, and hopefully soon.

The problem is later in the episode they promote Kolata’s view that it isn’t one thing in our diet that’s making us fat, it’s simply that we’re surrounded by too many calories and are simply consuming too many calories. It’s not even “too many” because we’re basically evolving into a fatter species. So is it sugar, or…

This is such an oversimplification.

My diet is primarily fruit and I’ve got visible abs.

No, they’re not. He’s been promoting junk science for awhile now.

Yeah, I’m going to try to see it this weekend, but I’m like, “Of course it’s still about the White experience of being a teenager. Brown people can’t even be the poor ones in movies anymore.” Because I’m kind of racist.

Yeah, that’s what took me out of Winter Soldier. Like, they couldn’t kill Nick Fury because his foresight and access to resources essentially makes him immortal. That’s when I actually kind of checked out on these Marvel films for awhile. But everything from Ant-Man on has been pretty stellar, with the exception of…

Eh. Pushing the prowler is a waste of time. Just do squats and do some sprints from time to time. Nuts and bolts, Hamilton, nuts and bolts.

Sooo...half of the white who went to college still somehow thought Trump was a good idea? Holy shit, white people. Holy shit.

Eh. Honestly, if you look at the numbers, white people are ruining the western world. Trump won the White vote, no matter how you slice it. You can’t fool a person who doesn’t want to be fooled.

It’s not “gentrification or nothing” man. There’s a happy middle somewhere that white hipsters have a lot of difficulty understanding.

This is blasphemy, but I’m not so convinced the West is significantly stronger than the East this year. Some of those EC teams are looking a bit intriguing.

Holy cow. I’m surprised he even knows that much about Andrew Jackson.

Documented by whom? Do we have tape of Trump actually saying so?

In Trump’s defense, he totally doesn’t know who Andrew Jackson is.

It warms my heart that every time I start to feel bad about the way I think about you idiots (i.e. “But El Chupacabra, you’re dehumanizing entire hoards of people, which is what you’re supposedly against” etc.), one of you idiots comes around and reminds me that you’re all a bunch of idiots.

I really don’t think it makes a difference.

AVClub, not so much. Gawker and its affiliates, sure. Obviously, I’m a fan of these sites, but let’s not pretend like sensationalist stories weren’t their bread and butter for some time.

Oh yeah. You’re preaching to the choir. I’ve long since wished for the day when Dems act like Repubs politically. I want a cut-throat, take no prisoners Democratic party that actually represents “the people.” But, you know, that takes rare elements like “courage” and “spine” and “common sense.”
