If there is no animal in the biome that can’t be mashed into a pulp by a 50 year old not-particularly-bright “infant” wielding the Force, predation is not going to lead to evolutionary pressure selecting for cerebral development. Throw in an immune system and some sort of food-gathering behavior and that may well be…

Agreed. The answer to the question of whether “Kamala is a cop” sank Harris’ campaign is basically the same answer to the question of whether “Swift Boats for Truth” sank Kerry’s 2004 campaign: if it did, it’s only because the candidate allowed it.

This all day. Eastwood long ago crossed over into “Old Man Yelling at Clouds” territory, with a heaping side order of misogyny. He has so thoroughly bought into this idea American Masculinity needs to be both worshiped and defended from the people who rightly point out its toxicity. He celebrates the toxicity, and…

She’s kinda been hamstrung by the changing political landscape of the Democratic primary voting base. On paper, and were this 2006, she would be a daunting political prospect. But everything that’s happened since 2006, as well as the bevy of other candidates, has combined to inadvertently undermine her campaign.

We won’t murder your entire family if your email isn’t chosen—we promise!

It’s one of the side effects of Clintonism on the Democratic Party.

I for one blame Marilyn Manson!

Eh, “word or idiom of the year” might be more technically accurate, but there’s enough overlap between the two conceptually that the shorter title makes for better marketing. Which this is for, after all; it’s not like anyone specifically delegated the task of deciding an official anything of the year to Macquarie.

Well, it is still technically 2019 . . .

I always mentally classify wealth in terms of “how long with a bad cocaine habit would it take to burn through this sum?” In which case, Issa is basically at “I could pace Stevie Nicks in the ‘80's and not even touch the principle”, while Joe Biden is at about “one bad year for Rick James”. Still wealthy, but wealthy…

“It’s just unfortunately, which is why I didn’t know exactly when I should come back to YouTube, but the reason for that is just because I’m legally not allowed to speak on anything going on right now.”

Like any conspiracy theory, anti-vaxxers will provide a complicated, yet usually internally-consistent, response to most evidence-based questions. Really, you have to have some training in epidemiology, or at minimum biology, in order to really parse through how their response doesn’t correspond with available…

The beauty of “conservatism” to movement conservatives is that it’s not an ideology with a concrete set of plans. It’s more of a brand and a lifestyle than anything else, sort of like Cross-Fit, except for people who like to misattribute George Carlin quotes instead of exercise.

Yeah, I actually had the live feed of CNN on when he was speaking, and I remember pausing the show briefly because I just wasn’t sure I wanted to listen to Donald Trump speak for any length of time.

So you’re saying that NBC moved to protect a legacy asset of the company over the objections of a woman?

I mean, he barely has an eight-pack.

If you’re going to claim that young, white progressives are the base of the party, then you’re quite plainly trying to take away the credit that is owed to that actual base of the party. Even if you don’t lose their votes (they are the party’s base afterall), you’re showing them disrespect and taking them for…
