The new aristocracy is just like the old: Good King Tom is inevitably followed by Prince Chet the Bad.

Ahh, the “you're taking it out of context" gambit. A true classic!

Beautiful. I was getting ready to call out the “whatabout” bullshit, but you dissected it like a surgeon.

Brought to you by the same people who only read half of the 2nd Amendment and the 10% of the Bible that supports their bigotry. They have a long history of this shit.

Ah, good catch. I forgot it debuted on CBS.

And they own it.

Well, both of his parents are nonagenarians. At 72,  King Chuck could easily reign for 20+ years.

If the monarchy collapses, hopefully the UK won’t make the idiotic decision of turning the PM role into the head of state.

“People will be registered to vote without knowing it and they’ll get ballots in the mail they didn’t request!!!”

I think we all know there was no actual mixup. This is Trump we’re talking about, after all.

The best con artists know this well. They set up their scams so the mark ends up begging to be conned again and again, convinced their fleecing was just “bad luck” or a “mistake,” or the “cops” turning up at the wrong time.

Even balloons can be dangerous in the hands of idiots. We had two power outages last year (one lasting over 8 hours), caused by mylar balloons released from reveal parties hitting power lines.

4. Will the movie cover the making of itself, and will that movie cover the making of the making of itself, and so on, in an endless recursion of self-reference?

I love how Spam is apparently a portmanteau of “Spiced Ham.” Spiced? How is that lump of Platonic blandness in any way spiced?

The problem with this line of reasoning is that it assumes sexual assault survivors are all the same. Dumping every survivor into the “traumatized victim” bucket is an unhelpful stereotype that only serves to perpetuate the harm of the original assault, the perpetrator of which is able to continue to exert control…

I’m very biased against sexual assault, and I’ve never been a victim or a perpetrator of it. Is WaPo saying they only want reporters who are ambivalent about sexual assault to cover it? What kinds of psychopaths are they grooming over there?

And nobody should be allowed to cover economic news, since they're all affected by the economy. Sports should also only be covered by people who know nothing about it.

Not to mention that boomers were probably also the last “mass culture” generation. They watched the same tv shows, listened to the same chart music, read the same newspapers. This created a homogeneity of perspective that further leveraged the power of their sheer numbers.

I agree that the boomers are, as a generation, awful and have done appalling damage.

If you're a Formula 1 fan, you can walk the street circuit. It's fascinating and terrifying to think how the drivers can go so fast on such tiny streets.
