God. Reading these things gives me such a weird mix of emotions. I want to laugh and cry and choke someone to death, all at the same time.

Not every exchange has to have an absolute right and wrong. Pam Anderson v. Meghan McCain, for instance, is not a good v. evil fight. They can both be stupid and wrong and misguided, and they both very much are. I guess you can say Anderson “won” this exchange, but... Christ.

Sweet. So first Trump and his morons make an idiotic change purely to rile up the dumbest among their base in a move that will not only cost the country more money and fuck the environment, but also cost the automakers (and therefore by extension us, their customers) shitloads of money.

I agree with you, of course. But—and I don’t mean this as a defense of this moron, more as an explanation—look around you right now. In this country and around the western world there’s a terrifying resurgence of mainstream racism. Christ, just peruse the responses to this post, or just within this thread. The number…

Reliable, safe, AWD, non-truck/SUV for $20-25k... I’m honestly in shock that every single suggestion wasn’t some form of Subaru. 

He specifically says he doesn’t really want a truck or SUV, but specifically says he would like 4WD/AWD, and none of you spring for a Subie?

Honestly, if you’re going to whine so much about me mugging you with this knife, why don’t you just buy some bullets for my gun and this whole process will just go much smoother. God, you fucking liberals.

I really think it’s just reflex at this point. There are so many potential catastrophes at any given time, I don’t think he does this shit thinking specifically “ah, this will distract from [specific scandal].” I think this is just his standard setting. It serves the dual purpose of keeping him in the news and letting…

Yeah, the comments on this story are... something. It’s really weird to me how some folks appear to be laboring under the delusion that this was a complete surprise to the bride... according to the linked article, the sister got the bride’s OK months before the wedding.

Ugh. I briefly went to work for a smallish company run by a crazy narcissistic asshole (though in tech rather than journalism, so at least the abused workers were paid better) but just reading those slack screenshots puts me right back in that mindset: trying to get work done while keeping one eye on the never-ending…

Car Talk was one of the first things I remember really looking forward to doing with my dad, listening on trips to the store or while I was helping him in his shop or whatever. We must have started listening right around when the show went national. I looked forward to it every weekend, and I still remember sitting in…

What you don’t understand is that airport travel times, you know, airport times, how long airports take to get to the hotels, are measured differently on that side of the Atlantic. It’s a big ocean, you know? Lots of ocean. You’ve never seen so many boats. You really can’t compare the two airport times. Five minutes,…

“It wasn’t like a, ‘you must,’” Short insisted. “It wasn’t like, ‘you have to.’”

Damn, the Wrangler images on those buttons. I’m trying to tell myself that I wouldn’t be bothered by this, but I just know my the OCD I’ve been forced to realize is a part of my personality as I get older would be absolutely fucking screaming every time I saw those buttons.

Yeah, I don’t mean to minimize the reporting here, but my first thought upon reading the headline was “I don’t really need to see how they’ve infiltrated it, simply turning on Fox News any night of the week for the last couple of decades shows how they’re running it.”

Get ready, folks. This is just the smallest of tastes of what’s coming. I’d strongly recommend anybody who values their sanity and blood pressure to back off news slowly between now and next November. The lies are going to come fast and thick, the projection is going to be overwhelming. Those of us with souls will…

Apologies for me, but not for thee.

From top to bottom, the Trump campaign/administration is just a teeming mass of incredibly shitty fucking people. It’s almost impressive how they haven’t even managed to accidentally hire someone who isn’t complete garbage.

“You know where she says,” Conway begins singing, “‘If you say it on the street that’s a knock out, if you put it in a tweet, that’s a cop out,’ I love that, that basically is Washington in a nutshell.”

I love how you can practically feel his hands shaking with anger reading the email he sent. It’s practically bursting at the seams with passive-aggressive rage. Christ, he signed an email in which he’s tattling to Karpf’s boss with “cordially!”
