Another case of Asimov’s Cult of Ignorance - “My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

We need to stop this “I’m entitled to my opinion” non-sense. All opinions are not of value nor should they be respected. I know absolutely nothing about nuclear physics. My opinion on the topic of nuclear physics makes about as much sense as a soup sandwich.

Since when does Trump need fodder to call out “the media”? I especially like how we pretend it’s the whole media, too. The people who can’t tell the difference between a Daily Show comedian and the NYT are the people who believe the news is “biast” for not agreeing that Trump’s inauguration crowd was bigger than…

My personal anecdata.... I’ve been on several dates with guys who listed sapiosexual as their orientation on OKC. It turns out they only enjoy smart women until they discover the woman they’re on a date with might actually be smartER than they are. Then they seem to wither at the thought of possibly not being the…

Yes, please. I also vote that we retire schoolyard nicknames in general (e.g. Republiklans, Libtards, Faux News, MSLSD, Rachel Madcow, Drumpf, etc.). These were never clever or productive and they only get worse the longer they stick around.

Can we please retire this? It was dumb when it started and now it’s just so goddamned tired and played out. The right saying it without a sense of irony, the left reframing it ironically, the whole stupid thing.

This.

Damn the left! .. turning on someone that turns out to be shitty.

If by “the left” you mean “consumers of fiction,” and “their own” you mean “a hack writer,” I guess?

Eh? I don’t think anyone is trying to pretend these video essays are fact. Most of them come right out and say they’re opinion.

The danger in this is that the analysis contained in those videos is taken as fact by the viewer because of the convincingly academic delivery.

Sim buy oats and sim be oats and little lambs eat ivy...

He does look like every guy who’s going to shoot you in the back during the big heist.

I remember a moment in Damon Wayans’ sitcom “My Wife and Kids” after one of his kids got recast, where during the new actress’ very first scene he stops her and stares at her face for a good thirty seconds looking puzzled. She asks “What’s wrong dad? It’s me, your daughter. The same daughter you always had.…

DOJ released the memos because the Republicans in Congress demanded them, screaming that they would SUE if they weren’t handed over. They got the memos thinking there would be some smoking gun of Comey’s treachery, instead they got memos that bolstered his credibility and made Trump look even more like a…

Is this website just trying to make me feel like an out of touch old person today? I graduated from High School six years ago! I’m only 25! Why does every headline today read like it’s been written in some kind of indecipherable alien language to me?

Face facts, people, Nancy and Sluggo have always been trend-chasers.

I got a The Bitter Tears Of Petra Von Kant notification for this?
