I used to follow a Tumblr website called “Literally Unbelievable” (the site is sadly no longer kept up to date with new submissions).  It shared examples of instances where people misinterpreted The Onion and other satire sites as genuine news reports.  It was entertaining but also eye-opening to see just how many…

Holy cow, it’s like a car crash — I knew it was going to be bad, but I looked anyway.

And they’re correct. Good at gaming but shitty lover, absentee father, sexist, puerile, mostly a fraud.

libertarians who aren’t as smart as they think they are

Musk is sort of like Trump but for libertarians who aren’t as smart as they think they are instead of racist blowhards. They see themselves in him so they get behind him and cheer on everything he does and don’t realize he’ll never actually give a shit about them beyond what they can do for his ego.

I preemptively copied and pasted that sentence to make the same point. Glad you did first. These guys honestly don’t even think that’s wrong, consent or not.

I’m torn on this. On the one hand, it’s a thing of beauty to watch a well-prepared actor execute a fully realized accent. On the other hand, inconsistent accents are one of the surest ways to take the audience out of the viewing experience. Basically, the accents (or lack thereof) have to be consistent and make sense…

This is how you do it; a la The Hunt for Red October:

Just reading all that made me feel like I desperately need a shower to get rid of all of the scum. My heart goes out to those poor women who actually had an encounter with this fucking cockroach on wheels.

Believe me, it still goes on.  Whilst abortion is now legal in Northern Ireland, the stigma attached to it is still too great for some to deal with, sadly.  

Or how Polish women are now going to Germany, the Netherlands, UK, Czechia, etc for access to abortions.

Wasn’t Howard Stern doing the same thing in the 1980s and 1990s? He was being NBC to fuck with him.

Honestly, I see all the complaining about “wokeness” as childish outrage from grown men/women that can’t accept a world where their “jokes” are not accepted. 

He’s supposed to be 15 in the books, eventually reaching 19 by the end of the first novel. Ferguson is actually about the right age for that, if you assume that Jessica became Leto’s concubine in her early twenties or late teens. Same for Oscar Isaac at 42 - he’s old enough to plausibly be the father of a teenager.

McCarthy was a Senator actively using the powers of government and his influence vs. people on Twitter calling out assholes for being assholes...if you can’t see the difference, not sure what to tell ya.

Never forget Bobcat was one of Kurt Cobain’s close friends and confidants after Nirvana blew up. The man is a treasure.

I hope you aren’t talking about that stupid math teacher who thought mocking Native cultures was a good way to “engage” her students, but also I kind of hope you are referring to that, because I would truly love to hear someone attempt to defend that mess.
