Good catch if that’s true. I’ve usually seen it spelled as Moloch or Molech, but those are probably anglicized spellings since I’m mostly familiar wit him through Paradise Lost and the KJV.

Could definitely be true. Game designers of all genres seem to take names from old myths and cultures. I know when I’m…

[furiously starts brainstorming on what a TetrisMMORPG might look like)

This kid would have fit right in back in the 80s when we had to go play make believe in the backyard because some kid’s older dick brother and his friends wold never let us play the NES.

The worst thing about Walking Dead antipathy is that it used to be such compelling television. Every time I make a critical comment on an i09 recap, someone will inevitably reply “Why do you watch the show if you hate it?”

The answer is complicated.

Some shows are never that great. I kept watch True Blood and enjoyed…

hahahahahahahaha

Every morning, Izzy tries to make me late for work by cuddling on my belly when I sit to tie my shoes:

The problem is that most assisted living centers either double as polling places or they have someone who comes around notarizing and collecting absent ballots for everyone so they don’t have to leave their homes.

It’s tribalism. It makes more sense if you start thinking about politics in terms of sports. Think about the Patriots. It doesn’t matter what scandal you throw at the Patriots - deflated balls, spying on other teams, hacking into A/V headsets - their supporters will always find a way to justify it as long as their…

It’s Tribalism. It makes more sense if you start thinking about it the way people root for their home town sports teams than if you try and compare it to the relationship people have had with past Presidents.

Sorry for throwing this under your comment, it just seemed like it fit somewhere in this threat and i thought jumping off from your point was probably the best.

I had cousins who were trying to get pregnant and when they finally did, the testing showed several genetic issues. It was somewhat related to Downes…

As an unimportant person who gets invited to a lot of a Democratic meet and greets in Oklahoma, I’ve had the chance to meet Cory Williams - the Democratic Legislator from the district that is essentially Oklahoma State University - who took Faught to task on this.

I really wish Cory would have brought up the events…

Technically you can sue over anything. The question is whether you can make a claim that will overcome the inevitable motion to dismiss.

I did some First Amendment Employment law issues right out of law school, but that’s been a few years, so my memory is fuzzy at best on Constitutional standing, but my general…

Congrats! This is officially the first time I forward a Jezebel article to my mother to read.

Yeah. I really should have prefaced my comment with something like, “Admitting that I’m a white man and that I’m very acutely aware of both my gender and racial privilege,” because I do realize that in all fairness, even a week of Offred’s life is pretty fucking horrible to wish on another person.

Based on the ending to Handmaiden’s Tale, it looks like Gilead was actually a rather small part of the United States that fell rather quickly and everything turned back to normal eventually, so I guess I’d go with that over the mass dystopian messes of Orwell or the Hunger Games.

Also, you lose points for using Penam…

Since I have critical thinking skills and have read interviews with Margaret Atwood, I know that they’re dead wrong, but if you dig around the internet long enough, you’ll find men’s rights douches who argue that this book actually supports the MRA movement. The sole point they raise is that in the flashback scenes,…

That last line is brutal: “Which means Trump is not worth as much as the average billionaire.”

Chuck Klosterman did a profile of Brad Pitt many years ago, I think it was one of the first pieces Klosterman did when he first landed at Esquire before becoming better known for Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs and his stint working with Bill Simmons.

Klosterman tried to argue throughout that profile that if Pitt had a beer…

Women and People of Color. The same men you know who are pissed at Meryl Streep but not Bradley Cooper or Ben Affleck probably also have a hard on to rant about Colin Kaperneck (I support him kneeling, but don’t care enough to memorize the proper spelling of his name).

It doubles as a platform for posting and rating nude pictures of your female colleagues.
