Evangelical Christian conservatives tend to support Christian candidates. Why have they embraced Trump? It comes across to me as rather aggressively rendering their own buttholes unto Caesar.

No need to get so chippy. His bark is worse than his bite.

Prequel trilogies are like sand.

I'm surprised the The Hobbit trilogy was so unpopular. It's not like there's ever been another case in which a famous director has revisited a successful fantasy trilogy with a new trilogy of prequels and retroactively ruined the universe he helped to create by making them turgid, moronic and overly dependent on CGI.

I dunno, I found it quite ent-ertaining.

Tolkien's estate are also suing me to try to prevent me from releasing my Tom Bombadil trilogy, or as I like to call it the Bombadilogy. Fuck you!

@avclub-15037e2695ec8b4820f9346d067edf39:disqus have you by any chance read The Trip To Echo Spring by Olivia Laing? Hemingway and Berryman are both featured and it's just an incredible book.

Grr! Your comment is thoroughly unwoke! Grrrr!

I am FURIOUS about this - grrr!

I think you're both right, in different ways. The term originally meant fake news stories (on facebook etc.) and in that context it still makes sense as it's using "news" as an adjectival noun rather than as a synonym for "facts". The problem with the way Trump uses it is that when he says "fake news", what he tends…

The term "snowflake" first appeared in right-wing circles as a mocking sobriquet for people who perceive themselves as unique and special. However, because most people who use it now are idiots, the term has broadened to mean "anyone who gets upset about anything".

That works for me, but you'll still have to get through our rigorous petting pro- our rigorous vetting process.
