It’s not news that history is complicated, but thanks for playing, Will Hunting.

Uh... yeah, this is pretty thoroughly not what fascism is.

Yeah, “looks like.”

Same as any other conspiracy theory. Some of them like the feeling they get from having figured out the truth. Some of them assume the government must be lying to them, even if there’s no clear reason why, and some of them... well... it’s about the Jews, because of course it is.

Friends came along and distilled the hangout sitcom down to its essence at just the right time to be a template for a huge number of shows, and sure that makes it significant but that’s totally in line with saying it’s unkillable without saying it’s good.

In my experience weed and taking the time to capitalize the first letter of every word are extremely separate concepts

It’s impossible to be equally strong in all areas. Knowing how to play around your weaknesses is solid strategy. You don’t get extra points for false bravado.

There’s a half-finished bag in my pantry right now.

The intent may have been to keep them to their specific regions, but I definitely saw a display of Chesapeake crab chips at Kroger the other day.

It could be a sweater dress, so there.

Huh.. My immediate reaction to it was “oh, it’s a guy in a dress and a bad wig, because comedy.”

That’s standard procedure for reviewing a new season of a Netflix show.

Okay, so is this why, earlier today, out of nowhere, I started quietly singing “You’ll Be in the Air” to myself while I was waiting for a crosswalk signal?

The thing is, some of those things are complicated and I don’t know that the answer is always yes (I’m doing a lot of reading on WWI right now and that’s a real test of whether science is always acting in the interest of humanity). But none of them lead the conclusion that you can’t demand evidence that cactus juice…

“O.K., G.P. would say, then what is science, and is it all-encompassing and altruistic and without error and always acting in the interests of humanity.” 

Did she ever need to work in the first place?

Sometimes the vagina is really stoned, and holy shit, that big pink rock has a lamp in it. That’s fuckin weird, man.

Cartilage Head, huh. I really wasn’t ready for that this week.

Thank fucking god. I’ve been sitting here for five minutes trying to remember the name of that movie that’s like Contact but with a space wizard. Seriously, thanks. That was gonna bug me all day.

But that... makes no sense as a model? If you wanted chicken that bore little to no resemblance to a Chik-Fil-A sandwich on Sunday, your options were already extensive.
