Having worked for rich people, I can +1 this. First-generation rich people can be all right, though you do get a few “I worked hard for my money and therefore you should eat shit” types. I.e. your basic libertarian.

I’ll be one to say I don’t get the hype around the storyline of this game. It was a mashup of 28 Days Later and Children of Men - both awesome sources to steal from, but not particularly new.

Sure, but does he FEEL like he should have worked there? If so it’s the same thing as if he had.

The capper is that the announcement is written in a hilariously personal tone of voice, so you know it came direct from Elon.

If this is really what we’re worried about I’d say the world must be in a pretty good place.

Again, Shantaram was written as if it was real, but it was not. It’s the kind of story that needs to be real to work, otherwise it’s just white savior wishcasting.

All of Ryan Murphy’s shows fall apart after season one. That’s why AHS is a perfect show for him, there’s never a season two.

A Very Online person navel gazing about another Very Online person.

The “tragedy” in all this is that Don Jr. moved on from probably the one person in all his life who has actually ever truly loved him (his ex-wife) to BBD with a D-list celebrity. Not that I care, these people are trash, but from a humanistic standpoint.

Another thing is that John Candy was thought of as massively overweight in the 1980s. Nowadays he would ... not be.

Seriously. Plus, life exists beyond the next two years. Whoever wins is going to be a Senator for the next six - i.e., they’re going to matter for 2024 and 2026's count as well.

I don’t think they’re closeted Republicans. The main thing is that Rick Caruso is pretty famous in LA (he built The Grove, the by-far most popular public spot in the city), and that’s the most important thing to other celebs. They’ve been to many many functions with him and see him as one of them.

HIMYM was just kind of a nothingburger. No famous episodes. No famous storylines. No famous characters. What it did have going for it at the beginning was the tease of someday meeting the kids’ mother, but even that faded away pretty quickly once they realized no one cared about the main dude and the show became about…

Is this the beginning of Jezebel’s biannual campaign to suppress the vote? Was wondering when you guys would get started.

Honestly why do these nerds give a fuck?

The problem Shantaram has is that it isn’t real, but was pitched as that it was. It’s the kind of story that needs to be true to have any resonance, but since it’s not it’s just a guy writing about how incredibly awesome he actually is, and it’s totally true even though it’s not! It belongs in the same dustbin as A…

Before the 2016 election myself and a friend were listening to a satellite radio station that for whatever reason was airing ads for the Kansas market (we were getting ads for car dealerships in Topeka and whatnot, despite being in a coastal state). There was one particular ad that featured two “Black” women having a…

“Hush, we’ll continue fighting for women’s rights right after we get another tax cut for the rich and make it illegal for black people to vote, child.”

You can’t make this list without It Follows, which is significantly more scary than a lot of these. And well reviewed.

All good, assume this is legal if not outright encouraged in Texas.
