Make no mistake, we’re entirely fucked. I know myself, and I know I don’t have the fortitude to survive nuclear winter. My one consolation is that I live in a city that is probably on some country’s first strike list so at least the end will be quick for me.

A few years ago, maybe 2013 or 14, Secretary Hillary Clinton came to my work (not Wall Street, tech company) for a fireside chat and to promote her book. She talked at length about her experience as SOS, and one thing she discussed was how much “small offenses” matter to so many leaders and countries around the world,

I look forward to these every year. 2015's mashup is still my favorite; there was something so triumphant about that piece of music. 2016 is a little frenzied, but it works for the tone of this garbage dump of a year.

Kellyanne reminds me of a worn-out, fucked up animatronic at a pizza restaurant where the one eye doesn’t open all the way.

But liberals are smug and condescending when they point out these people are idiotic fucknuts.

The rich know climate change is coming. They’re well-prepared for it. But boy is it a good tool to use to turn the masses against those “liberal elites” who want you to do heinous things like buy new light bulbs and stop throwing plastic, glass, paper, and metal in the garbage!

Most evil is banal. Great intelligence isn’t necessary.

As some one who as taught undergrads for the last 10 years, I can definitely tell you that all Millennials are named Taylor.

YES. THANK YOU. Those are the names older melennials give their Fucking kids.

Mmmmnope, those names are mostly too young for us. We’re all Jessica, Ashley, Sarah, or Emily. Well, half of us. The rest are Michael, Tyler, Matthew, and Joshua.

Nah, millennials end around 2000. Those names are all Gen Z.

Fuck politics in games.

Michelle Obama and her children were being called monkeys, and people were calling for her (Muslim, socialist, non-citizen) husband to be lynched. Nary a lawsuit in sight. Chelsea Clinton was openly mocked for her looks. It is not appropriate for a first lady to sue in this circumstance. These people are ridiculous.

“Sorry Barron, it sucks to be scrutinized for every little thing because your parent decided to run for President. But hey, at least you won’t have anyone on the left calling you the First Dog”

I’m sure it will turn a profit though it’ll probably be mostly from overseas. It actually cost less to make than Ghostbusters did. The trailers are not inspiring anybody to want to go see it, but it will probably at least crack $100M in the US due to its holiday release date and residual love for Lawrence and Pratt

This would be like the Sacramento Rivercats playing well enough to switch places with the Marlins, and then making the playoffs in the following year, and then having their plane go down as they flew to the NLCS. Roughly.

From Bloomberg:

You seem to confuse democracy with liberalism and progressive beliefs. Millennials are more progressive and liberal than older generations, yes. But they support democracy less than older generations do. This is what the article is talking about.

I assume Montana and Nebraska are grey because there is no one under 60 in either state?

It’s long been a theory that fascism (or one of its authoritarian siblings) rises every 3 generations, when those with direct contact with the horror die out, and there’s no-one to recognise the warning signs.
