[...]people always speak more about the unexpected triumph rather than the home run hit by an old pro.

I disagree with that, entirely. Alan Rickman played a bored old actor, but I don’t think Alan Rickman was actually a bored old actor. He just played that part well and was cast as something similar in a lot of roles.

Gawker (and Trotter, especially) is not journalism. To try to classify a blog post as either ‘article’ or ‘opinion’ is to miss the point of blogs - to create a space where the author can eschew journalistic integrity in order to editorialize, in “real time”.

This is just a bad take. Alan Rickman in Galaxy Quest was a phenomenon.

And solving computer science.

Local commenter hates that other people have fun in ways ne doesn’t! More at 11!

Is there something, there, that isn’t supported by the science?

Yeah, I’m really torn on this bill. I’m glad that it put a stop to so much of the bullshit that Trump wanted, but I’m still a touch sore that there was ANY money in there for that dumb fucking wall.

Uh..what? I think you’ve got something a little mixed up.

Huh! Maybe I jumped to a narcissistic conclusion! If so, I sincerely apologize, Hamilton.

Ha ha ha! And then he dismissed the comment. Because HamNo can write an entire article just to drag a dude he doesn’t like, but can’t read two sentences about how much he sucks, himself. Classic!

I love how this same article could be written about HamNo, swapping the excerpts for excerpts from any of his articles, and the names.

I’ve read quite a bit about labor history. I’m happy with what unions have done for this country. Just not happy with what they currently do for this country. Without unions, there would never be OSHA and the “American Dream” 40-hour work week would be non-existant. We’d still be in company towns.

Honestly, it’s a tough topic to talk about because of the ‘ick’ factor. Most people have never had to deal with situations where cleanliness is a luxury, so they have no context for living life without it. They cling to any bit of data that assures them that they’re right, not because of the validity of their stance,…

I don’t know what scares me more...

I believe the premise was “I had it unblocked to support the site, but now I’m turning it off because I don’t support this lack of content.”

Two things:

Oi. It’s kind of surreal to see that picture, because somewhere at my parent’s house, lost I’m sure, is a picture of my dad and a couple of other people at a Taco Bell, so you can see that menu as a backdrop. Though the “Bell Burger” item is cut off so you can only see the B. So I’ve got a kind of second-hand…

Agreed. Even though it’s a fun little phrase that is now stuck in my head forever, “Tac-o-clock” is flawed in the same way that “Taco Tuesdays” is. They both present a version of reality in which tacos aren’t always one of the best options for consumption.
