Howdy, commentarati. Can someone explain Guided By Voices to me? Got dragged to a show tonight and it was literally the worst live music performance I’ve ever experienced. Maybe it was me not knowing the band, maybe it’s the inevitable let down of seeing any band perform directly after seeing At The Drive In (how do…

Really happy to see the “fags don’t understand sports” trope is alive and well. Just a phenomenal piece of journalism here, bravo.

This guy is living the dream and pointing out, perfectly, how many people in this country feel. I’m not saying he should be president (would be a catastrophe), but there are lessons here. I know it’s fun to demonize the voice, but ‘don’t shoot the messenger’ totally applies. This is a rich guy doing everything he can…

This is absolutely a fake one. Six years at a call center, never missed a day of work, and still the loses out on seniority. The sentiment is important, even though the story is cooked, however.

Instead of replacing player with worker and team with employer you should try a more honest comparison - he's an entertainer that went to a new production company.

Theater didn't do a goddamn thing wrong, they just played a movie. Families dragged them through the courts trying to take money from them....and now the theater is the bad guy? It must be weird going through life as a huge fucking idiot.

Love the article, but would have appreciated you mentioning how ridiculous it is that a Belgian multi-national owns the brand that literally changed their name to ‘America’ for advertising reasons. People are fucking dumb, yo.

Start educating those around you about the downsides of our potential future. A lot of folks simply don't understand the impact of the machination of the world :-)

Really cool article, but I’m both surprised and upset that you didn’t even mention ‘Astro Boy’. It’s like three times as old, and has this as an origin story:

If you have a problem with Capitalism it's best to spend your energy fighting the system and not simply bitch about those who thrive under it. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Such a positive, impactful, person. The world was lucky to have her. RIP, coach.

TLDR, but I can tell you that the true enemy is pacifism caused by suspended adolescence caused by PHE. Sending this many people to school was a bad idea and one driven by a beautiful combination of lender pressure and state evaluation of teachers based on college placement. Fucking asinine, and has only given…

I’m not aware of a single instance where anyone has successfully used a priv claim based on an accidental comm to press. I'm not even aware of an attempt, TBH. Shocked at the super sloppy comms, this guy is not good at lawyering.

The same scum that destroyed a continent (NA) and tried to destroy another (Africa) is failing and I’m fucking loving it. Usually I’m not a ‘sins of the father’ type, but I can’t help but feel warmth in my heart. Fuck empires, fuck royalty, fuck britain.

Consolidated power is a bad thing, I’m all for this. Hope folks leave UK, hope folks leave EU, hope folks leave UN. Again - consolidated power is a universal evil. All you children who wine about capitalism and capitalism alone are missing the point. Truly beautiful day in the world.

In Washington we have ‘TheMonument’ - it’s this thin super tall structure that has rules about it having to be the tallest thing in the city so everyone can see it. It’s meant to symbolize George Washington’s dick and remind everyone that the first official leader of this Patriarchal nation was a slaveowner.

Great post on an important topic, Samer.

You're a bad person if you have your phone out at a show.

It's because he's light skinned with a baby face, deh.

It’s a single syrup that has both promethazine and codeine, not a mixture of two syrups. You can get it at Walgreens and billion dollar pharmaceutical companies make it. The only cocktailing/mixing that happens is with like soda or juice or whatever.
