Vive la France! Vive la liberte!

Still, his vow hasn’t halted the theorizing over what would happen if Trump loses the election and refuses to leave the White House in January 2021, and Trump’s ramblings about the evils of vote-by-mail—the safest way to vote during the covid-19 pandemic—don’t quiet down the unease towards Trump potentially defying…

In general, Fauci made recommendations based on the data he had and the situation at the time. When new data became available or the situation changed, he changed his recommendations. That doesn’t mean he was “wrong,” it doesn’t mean he “flip-flopped,” it means he has a flexible mind, is able to adjust his hypothesis…

It’s also, speaking as someone who is both a taxpayer and who received at least a modicum of education from public schools, a complete non sequitur. This:

I was thinking more along the lines of the obvious nickel-and-diming of the field maintenance, which creates all the divots that confetti’d RGIII’s knee. But yeah, that works too.

How bad a husband do you have to be to make “bathes weekly” an irresistable turn-on? Truly, the northmen must have been a nation of kings.

I for one would go for “Washington RG III’s Knee”, as a tribute both to how Dan Snyder’s management practices directly ruin the lives of his laborers, and for his tendency to buckle in ugly fashion after going at high speed in the wrong direction.

If it makes you feel any better, I’m pretty sure “Fox News Segments” are listed as cursed items in the Dungeons & Dragons Players Handbook. The stat drain effect only lasts 1d6 days, so it should wear off.

Well, I also think, especially in the case of science fiction actioners like Star Wars and Star Trek, is framing and context. Framing and context are simultaneously necessary for understanding and accepting the stakes of what’s happening in the film, and something that Abrams especially is so bad at.

One of the wages of whiteness is that being white affords you spaces wherein you never have to hear the word “no”, and have that “no” have teeth.

We can begin by thinking about Black wealth and Black prosperity in terms of extractors—systems or enterprises drawing money out of the Black community—and investment, as scholar and writer Andre Perry advises. But it also requires questioning the philosophies that lay the foundation for how federal, state, and local…

I’m most surprised he said it aloud. Trump . . . is not a smart person, but he does know his audience and caters to them. And his audience really doesn’t go in for polysyllabic words (see what I mean?). Using words with more than two syllables is read by a certain subset of America showing off. This subset also…

Yeah, that was a book where, even at the time I read it at about 11 or so, I thought to myself “oh, this is R.A. Salvatore for adults!”, because even at that tender age, I recognized the combination of technology fetishism, and the plot contrivances required to keep the situation from going nuclear, which would have…

For my money, it was either this one:

One of the worst things about being in the long-term unemployed during the Great Recession was how upper-middle class white people would simply refuse to accept the concept of “structural unemployment”. There were peer-reviewed articles that demonstrated mathematically that employers were systematically screening out…

Well, if Conan O’Brien taught me anything in college, it’s that a desk, a fake steering wheel and a green screen is good for at least six minutes of unbridled terror.

You can tell the quality of the actor in this film by how much they got what this film was about, and how much resultant fun they had with the role. Nobody in the central love triangle got this film at all, which is a big reason why the film works. But Meyer and NPH both got it, and Clancy Brown and Michael Ironside de…

As merciless satire goes, that might even beat out the Onion news story about how the Rochester PD instinctively put an unregistered handgun next to the downed Frederick Douglass statue. . . .

That’s why its bullshit when liberals task each other with decency over these fuckers. I will be gleeful if one of the assholes in this admin dies from coronavirus because I know none of them would give a shit if it was the other way round.
