It has simultaneously created the largest gap in wealth inequality between the bottom half of the world and the top 1%. Capitalism has had a good run, but much like how capitalism was an improvement upon pre-existing economic systems and ideas, it’s time for something new, as that kind of inequality is both growing…

So I got home late, read this article, and turned the game on about 9:45pm and, uh, this article did not age well! (Except the “ever-cursed Lions” yeesh. 48-17 going into the 4th?! AGAINST THE JETS?)

There have been so many Spider-Man video games that there is an entire fucking wikipedia page devoted to listing them all.

Are you kidding? The man would be, at worst, an elected Congressman in the US.

God I hate how these fucks shamelessly know they can pull shit like this and the other adults in the room will still mostly allow it. When that weasel objected, Kavanaugh went from totally off-balance to, while still stammering like a child, seizing fully upon the excuse that had just been presented as an out. If any…

“Namely, I’m concerned that all of the horrific incidents surrounding the Henrys will turn out to be totally random, ultimately insignificant footnotes in the dark history of the town of Castle Rock and that the fact that they all happen directly adjacent to the Henrys will be a coincidence. I’m talking about things…

I think it’s important to remember that even though it’s suddenly all the rage to be like “Why do rhode island and cali both get 2 senators tho lololol” - Tyranny by majority is still tyranny. Sure, as a liberal, I wish more things went to simple majorities of people because I know that there are 1) More Democrats…

“’George’s giddiness over Mr. Trump’s recognition was prominent during the days that followed,’”  

“but it just seems like a way to funnel people into the prison system “

We have a winner

I hate to break it to you but Stephen King’s most consistent, unbending theme underlying all his work is that regular old human beings are in fact the scariest monsters of all.

It said she rang the doorbell 20-30 times, which is more than enough time to answer and also a clear indicator of an emergency. Whether you agree with their thinking or not, it seems pretty obvious the homeowners waited as long as humanly possible to answer the door, perhaps hoping whoever was ringing was gone by that…

John McCain, An Hero is what I believe tomatoface is running around under now

Losing Alan Rickman, Muhammad Ali, David Bowie, and Prince in one year was rough but in retrospect it was just to prepare us

This is probably going to blow your mind in a bad way but while I agree that the Church enabled and basically actively encouraged this to become much bigger than it generally would have been without their aid, the average pedophile has over 100 victims over the course of their lives, assuming they aren’t caught. So,…

Yeah I did a bit of a double-take on the “20 miles” comment. 65 is even under-shooting it based on that map - Lewiston to Augusta is ~30 miles (Google tells me 33 specifically, apparently) and the straight-line distance between Derry and Castle Rock is easily 3, maybe as far as 4 times as far. For some reason I’d…

“Police don’t have physical copies of arrest warrants nor are they required to go the courthouse to get a copy and show it to you. Only search warrants are required to be on hand to be shown prior to the search. They couldn’t have complied with his request but none of that excuses their actions. “

So, this is just…

“It’s like you people learned nothing from Obama.”

It takes a special kind of stupid to watch years of “Third Way Democrats” stress the importance of being moderate and centrist (and Obama was most definitely a believer in the Third Way) result in President Trump and the GOP in control of most local governments and…

<I excitedly scroll down the list, knowing Maine has a crowded yet strong Democratic field trying to take the Governor's mansion, along with two Dems (from my hometown!) running extremely strong campaigns for what will be very close races to unseat Bruce Poliquin in the House and Angus King in the Senate, eager to see…

“ Medicare pays half what other insurance pays. “

lmao no. In some cases? Maybe, but that’s not because of the actual cost of the procedure or medical service, that’s just what the “market” says they can get away with. I spent a summer working for a company that exists entirely as a middle man (they are evil - there…
