“Why offer cheaper cars when we can just offer longer loans for more expensive cars?”

US consumers: haven’t had a meaningful raise in decades.

They shouldn’t have written all those sports stories.

It was a deliberate decision b/c Spanfeller and Great Hill Partners serve the needs of the capitalist class. They are taking a financial loss on this particular group of sites to shut down a voice which could inspire others to ultimately organize towards their doom.

Shutting down the only dedicated politics website in your portfolio right before the 2020 election, one of the most consequential of our lifetime, kicks into high gear. Essentially shutting down the second-most highly trafficked website in your portfolio because one out of every twenty five posts rankles you. I’m not…

Can’t fail the Bechdel test if you don’t have women.

I didn’t now about the Petey files but I will definitely start reading those. Thanks.

Last nights episode made me realize why Petey is there, hes essentially me if I was watching the show on the couch with my parents. They have no idea what Watchmen is so having him essentially give a 2 minute youtube explainer on Laurie’s backstory was hilarious to me, but im sure very helpful for them.

Trent Reznor I believe is handling the score and needle drops for the show.

One interesting thing that struck me was when Veidt was catapulting his clones away and ranting on as he did:

The music in the background was Beethoven’s “Seventh Symphony,” which had two interesting uses before this:

* As the main theme from ZARDOZ, a film where the rich are closed off from everyone else and degenerate…

Lube Man is the hero of the season IMO and the fact that HBO didn’t make sure to get him out earlier into the season is a travesty

I mean if you want one-to-one recaps, Wikipedia’s right there, fam.

THE BABY MICROWAVE, THO

It’s messed up how Trieu made that couple trade their house for a baby when they could’ve just gone down to the old fishing hole.

THE BABY LAKE THO.

True.  But can you dislike bad things while also glorifying them for money?

Or just provide free advertising for awful companies because it makes you money. One or the other. Deadspin has the same issue with hypocrisy, how do you cover all the awesome football plays that will get hits and cover the games while also condemning the sport for being run by a billionaire cartel complicit in…

Damn. Even fake FIFA is crooked.
