Part of the long game of the anti-choice movement. Frame abortion in “lifestyle” rather than economic/health concerns and you can more easily demonize those who support reproductive rights.

Many modern mouse interface devices come with a wheel apparatus that can be used by the index finger when current content appears uninteresting.

I would not be opposed to more sexy photos of male athletes on the covers of magazines.

(Some) Deadspin commenters... there are stories that are just nice. Your “comedy” adds no value to them, especially when it comes from a mean place. You are also not smart enough to produce shit that is funny.

And this epic Deadspin rant can hopefully be brought out many times in the future:

OT: But according to facebook, I “like” Walmart. I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE HOW THIS HAPPENED! I have tried to find out how to “unlike” it, but there isn’t just a button to push. I tried to find a way for about thirty seconds, but I’m fundamentally very lazy. It’s upsetting.

Shovel Knight is an example of what a good kickstarter looks like. An experienced team (Yacht Club) had substantial development experience on excellent games at Wayforward. The game appeared unique but also was clearly an extension of work they had all successfully completed. In short, it did everything you would look…

The old saying was boxing is the red light district of professional sports. Shit like this is a reminder that all sports are a red light district. We pay to get fucked.

Great point.

“She was cheering... she wasn’t born yet, but I saw her with my own eyes.”

Methinks atheism was convenient excuse for not giving a fuck. Atheist here. Quite a few of my kind are exceedingly unpleasant (not all, but especially the one’s who rant about it).

There is never a wrong time for this.

Oh god... I hadn’t thought about that. It’s so perfect.

Undoubtedly... Trump is a villain so epic that I think the DC and Marvel universes can unite to punch him.

Nope. It should be Kamala Khan punching Trump... the young Muslim Ms. Marvel in G. Willow Wilson’s FABULOUS new Marvel book.

Explanation for the existence of Trump. The youtube comment section has become sentient and self aware.

This is a weird American class of privilege thing. Vice, virtue, and gender are all whirled up in a guilt inducing blender of shame. The same mechanism that shows weight loss commercials and chocolate ads in immediate succession.

There have been some wonderful successes to have come out of the MFA programs. That said, institutions and tradition still carry a lot of weight in legitimizing the work of authors who are part of that system. And the near homogeneity of those in control of those institutions is clearly in evidence. I just think that…

Literary fiction has largely been monopolized by dusty MFA programs dominated by white men. Aside from the obvious injustices of such a system, it also has another fault worth noting. THEIR SHIT IS BORING. When “serious writing” is no longer protected by the white male university system and successful writers depend…

Looks beautiful. That said, there have been so many wonderful Metroidvania games in the last few years, I am wondering what this will bring to the table (besides looking really nice).
