Katy Perry hasn’t done anything for me, but Margo Price made an album which perfectly encapsulated the shitshow that was 2016-2017. Plus she may have written a song that rhymes asshole and casserole. Call me when Taylor does that.

This is a common misconception. Zelda is the scientist. You’re thinking of Zelda’s Monster.

Well we saw in WWII that a squadron of fighter planes could do massive damage to our naval cruisers so why don’t we just fly planes into everything?

Those contractors knew what they were signing up for!

Shut up Gabe.

Well, the Resistance only has like 20 people left and 1 ship...

I feel like you missed the best one, where Poe Dameron, dashing space flyboy, pulls a mutiny on the cold and frigid new commander who’s obviously not as a good a choice as him in his own mind, and it turns out he’s the asshole, not the hero.

What a lousy way to lose Angela Merkel tho.

My wife and I saw it together (her first, my fourth) and I complained about the Casino and Finn/Rose mission, and the bad decisions Poe made, the bad decisions Luke made.

The whole Republican Party has gone anti-semantic. I mean, Trump is two years into an all-out assault on meaning itself.

“Purposely putting out information that you know to be false” 

Jesus Christ. Some of these comments are such a goddamned shitshow. First, just because Republicans have rallied around men who have done worse than Franken doesn’t mean that Democrats owe Franken a fucking pass. The manner in which so many Democrats are dismissing the experiences of the women who Franken violated is…

So, what should we do? Should we adopt their tools? Should we accuse Franken’s accusers of being paid political liars? Should we demand that they apologize for him for hurting his career? Should we shout “Fake news!” and go pull the lever for a known creep?

The problem with the Democrats is that when push comes to shove, they actually have an overarching moral code, rather than the bizarre malleable thing the Republicans call a moral code.
