actually sleeping through the night is, in my mind, like having a very low-key, manageable, seven-hour orgasm. These days I’ll wake up from an uninterrupted night of sleep and be like, “Whoa. WHOA.”

Why waste political capital on any of that when we could be negotiating trade deals that prioritize adhering to US intellectual property standards?

Keep working on those splits. Keep the dream alive.

No. That would’ve been funny considering I was in my 20s when Toy Story came out. I’m a child of the 70s/80s. JCVD is my cartoon.

I don’t know. All I can tell you is that when I went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens it was torture to sit through the extended Zootopia trailer and I turned to my friend and remarked how happy I am I don’t have kids and don’t have to watch all these stupid fucking cartoons.

Ok, that’s um... not funny and not mitigating my hatred of cartoons. But I’ll accept that it was offered “jokingly.”

I hate cartoons and have no idea what that means.

Yes. I do that all the time. Again, I didn’t post my comment to lure people like you out to argue with me.

Not really. They do a lot of interesting and unusual things here I can’t easily find elsewhere. Pictorial alone is a delight.

I would be perfectly ok with it if Jezebel never covered school shootings. I would love to see Jezebel abandon the “women dying at the hands of fucked up men” beat. It’s all starting to feel a bit Lifetime Channel. I don’t have a problem with news aggregation, per se. But I don’t come to Jezebel to read the same shit

The more relevant question is — how is “I want to argue with Sqarr about how similar these two articles are” the same as “I want to encourage Reich to skim Jezebel headlines over the previous 24 hours”?

I made a suggestion, not an argument. I believe the implicit argument is: JE Reich, you’re being kinda lazy, please don’t do that. I could expand on that with a bunch of qualifiers about how I’m sure freelancing for GM is not a bundle of fun sticks and I’m not trying to say you suck, but I tried to side-step all of

Lol, whatever. Evans read an article in the NYT last night, aggregated it, went to the trouble of doing an additional search on the topic to include links to the Forbes article and the LA Times article. Reich read an article in Buzzfeed tonight, aggregated it and her only supplemental source is the LA Times article

It covers 90% of the same ground and I’m giving Reich the benefit of the doubt that she would’ve chosen a different topic if she’d known Jezebel just posted on this last night. I dunno, maybe she’s just truly caught up in content farm mindset of churning out copy regardless of how duplicative it is, but she seems

Have you considered skimming headlines over the past 24 hours to see if the subject has already been covered?

I guess that’s what I don’t understand, I’d leave fossilized bones alone, not think — what wonderful material for shaping.

I feel like today is “tempt smokeytreat to break her ban on using the word ‘retarded’” day.

You know, I’ve been dismissing replies that consisted of nothing more than shorter and ruder statements of the objection already raised in a more sensible comment by another poster and responded to in detail by me. But yours is so spectacularly stupid, I’m not even deleting it, I’m pulling it out of the greys. Thank

He is pair-bonded and parenting with a woman who knows how to rock a turban, so I can kind of understand his mistake, but you’re still correct.

I usually try to avoid pissing on the optimism that people manage to summon over the chance of passing meaningful gun control, but as long as we have the 2nd Amendment it’s all nonsense. Even if we could miraculously repeal the 2nd Amendment, a lot of blood would be spilled enacting meaningful gun control. We’ve got a
