Don’t think of it as modifying, think of it as zooming in on one model so they both line up.

Makes sense on the surface, but this would inevitably lead to a firestorm of enraged parents followed by advertisers pulling out.

“Roe is settled law” --half the fucknuts in their SCOTUS confirmations.

Unrelated to this story, RIP Jezebel - just read it in the NYTimes. I hope all the writers land on their feet :-( 

What he says is great. What he does is... well...

Absolutely. If a Republican president is elected and we’ve got a Republican House and Senate, they’re sending a total or near-total (6 weeks, no exceptions) ban to president to sign. And if it’s Haley or someone else, it doesn’t matter. That Republican president will all of the sudden believe something like, “This…

I pulled this off ABC’s coverage. It’s partially a copout, but he isn’t incorrect about the need for continued services being made available to women and families (although the “drug addiction” feels like he is making either a race or class slight).

It’s so odd to me that the Party that favors leaving things to the States needs the government to ban things. So odd.

If Ramaswamy really thinks that Republicans believe in the use of contraception, then I’ve got a hell of a property in DeSatan’s Florida to sell him. Great views, stunning castle, bit of a mouse problem tho.

If you still believe in the mythological “2023 moderate Republican” then I’d maybe be careful throwing around words like “clownishly.” 

“It's awesome, guys! We can use AI to free us from the tyranny and oppression of creativity, this freeing humans to do what they've been born to: write and debug code!"

He even claims that it was “too much confidence for too little skill.” That reads to me like he thinks there’s a level of skill where lanesplitting and weaving through traffic at 100+ miles per hour could ever be done safely.

It’s extremely hard to stop smoking crack. That’s the whole point of crack. 

Ah yes, because all those thieves are getting caught in the act.

The best critique of South Park and one that’s come the closest to explaining why it rubs me the wrong way is that they always take the side of “not caring”. The end result is always that caring about anything is dumb and “both sides” are bad if either of them actually care. 

Listen, if anyone can be trusted to deliver a script about media pandering, it’s South Park, the ancient franchise that’s been pandering nonstop to mediocre edgy white dudebros for a quarter century.

Cops don’t want to take on a guy like that, he’s scary! What if they got hurt? It’s just easier to pull over some people for speeding at night and threatening them.

It’s not a traffic stop if there is an incident literally occurring in the middle of the road. False equivalence is strong here.

Imagine being such an idiot that a person would conflate pulling someone over for expired tags with a person stopping in a traffic lane to get out and hit another person’s car, as though those 2 circumstances are at all related.
