I'll be honest; going full "Brocialist" and joining the DSA has made me feel exponentially better. The democrats are just feckless and floundering and I don't see them having learned anything at all from this last cycle.

My weekly run mileage has gone from "training" to "self-flaggelation just to feel something, anything, besides deep generalized anxiety enlivened by unremitting terror".

Oh absolutely. Things would be more unequal and the country would be in a very different place but Romney is just another GOP stooge. Trump is so very different and we will be feeling the effect of his malignant neglect for generations. The country could recover from eight years of Romney, I'm not so sure about…

Meaningless digital external validation is meaningless— story at 11:00

I was a little surprised about the Executive Order mandating that the Statue of Liberty has "DAMAGED" branded on her forehead but it totally makes sense.

It's crazy how much my opinion on 2012 has changed. It's undeniably true that the country would be in a much different (and better) place had Romney won.

"Trump won cause while an intelligent woman was trying to tell us about Russian ties u complained about her presentation & here we are again"

Ooh, this looks great. Note the road the character is standing on; It's paved with what look like the petals of Mexican Marigold or cempasúchil (flower of the dead), a very traditional element of Dia de los Muertos dating to Aztec times when the scent and beauty of the flower could guide the dead to and from the…

I think it's definitely a prescribed amphetamine. He's been linked to sketchy diet docs since the 80s. I would not be surprised if he's railing them but I doubt he does "street" drugs just because of his ego.

Melania is pretty astounding. There really are no precedents for a failed nude Slovenian model/escort to become First Lady. The closest antecedent I could think of was Lola Montez.

Paul's "It's pronounced Cheetos" line was probably the funniest thing I heard in 2016.

I still don't get the whole picture. I can't tell if this is an indictment of E.Buzz or someone impersonating them as a catfish or what.

Those buttons on Mike's shirt in the header picture are the real MVPs here.

He'll be plugging along at 90+, dribbling equal amounts drool and semen like old man Sumner Redstone.

It's incredible how much it'll work. The "struggling Trump voter/town realizing they're about to lose coverage" genre of article has been particularly eye-opening. Just person after person who doesn't realize their new Medicaid coverage is a direct result of the ACA and blaming "Obamacare" for potential loss of…

The Trump articles are coming from inside the house

I think those TV Club classic reviews were among the best things this site ever did. Just a very clear labor of love and the commentary (Rapping Jake Sisko) just put it over the top.

What in the hell? Jesus that's a deep dive on forum drama I had no clue existed. So E.Buzz Miller was really a catfish? And he's still alive? Or is someone impersonating them?

Didn't you also get swatted? How were they able to figure out your identity after that?

Anti-Vagina Club? No thanks.
