I’m glad Rosalía is getting the accolades she richly deserves. She’s a one-of-a-kind talent.

The reason ambien walrus is so funny is that it’s entirely accurate.

*hot from the standpoint of fire. His original phrasing is so much more emblematic.

It looks like someone applied the idea of an exquisite corpse to christmas ornaments.

The shitty trolls are having no problem getting out of the greys. Splinter really screwed the pooch.

At first I was a little surprised that the republican party wanted to count all the votes, but then I remembered that currently the democratic candidate is ahead. If the republican were ahead, they’d be screaming to stop counting.

It’s not bothsideserism. A fascist is many orders of magnitude worse than a self-interested jerk. This is what I get for cracking jokes around here, I guess.

He’s not the equal. There are degrees of scumbaggery, and Carlson (being a fascist) is the lowest of the low.

True. I was mainly referring to the lede of the story, which is a beef between Carlson and Avenatti.

Part of the problem is that “socialism” is still seen pejoratively. This was the great victory of the original fascists: they succeeded in poisoning the well of discourse for the next century, virtually ensuring that we’d have to deal with this shit all over again. If anything progressive can remotely be painted as…

Exactly. He has no redeeming features. Even in death, his body should be treated like HAZMAT level type biohazard. Nothing will grow on his grave.

The thing is, in america we have a very straightforward approach to politics and political discourse. It may not seem like it, but we do. In europe it’s VERY different. Politicians over there can be super shady, and they do it with a subtlety that americans largely lack. So yeah, that kind of is par for the course,…

There are no good guys in this story, but one of the bad guys is a fascist (and this time it’s not the one with the Italian name).

Loving the resolution difference.

I think he makes a compelling argument, but he’s taking a great deal of liberty with his definition of “nihilism”, which is very pointedly not the nihilism that Nietzsche defined, so it gets confusing. Nietzsche would have despised trump and his followers, just as he despised the nazis who appropriated and perverted…

The “trump as abusive boyfriend” thing isn’t exactly new, and there’s plenty of reasons it’s an apt metaphor. The gaslighting also falls under this characterization. The part I hadn’t seen yet is the press as bystander/friends that “don’t want to pick sides”, which just perfectly fleshes the horrible picture out.

This is a perfectly reasonable response in a sea of knee-jerk reactionary nonsense that is this comment section. Sorry, guys, but I really don’t get you right now. We can (and should) ask for campaign-finance reform, transparency, and so on from our candidates without it automatically meaning we’re just trashing…

Holy shit. This is the perfect analogy.

That was my impression as well.
