I'll see if I can find the reference again. I saw it in a Metafilter post. If memory serves, be didn't outright use the term secession, but there was additional context to his more recent comments about California being an independent nation-state during Coronavirus that indicate his desire for a largely independent…

I’ve been reading Anna Merlan’s (former Jezebel writer) new book, Republic of Lies, and one of the white nationalist leaders she interviews makes that exact same argument. On its face, it could sound reasonable enough; i.e., there are such irreconcilable differences between mutlicultural/multiethnic people and white…
I just gotta say that I appreciate Jezebel’s reporting on this. It’s a nuanced, complicated topic with no clear and easy answer. If you re-open, there’s the potential for teachers, families, and students to all get very ill and for the pandemic to continue to rage unabated. If you do distance learning, parents who…
You’d be surprised how many times a week I repeat this exact phrase.
THEY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A COWBOY.
Not at all, and I apologize if my wording made it seem I thought so. I was just providing some data about how fixing systemic racism has the potential to positively affect everyone, not just the oppressed.
Reminds of that story AV Club ran about the alt right women realizing alt right men are also sexist jerks.
I might add that the BLM movement could actually affect their lives, but for the better. Studies have shown that closing the advantage gap for Black Americans would raise the GDP by billions of dollars, making the US a more prosperous nation.
I don’t use Facebook or Twitter anymore, so I haven’t seen these claims elsewhere, but I believe you. Curious which slime pit this theory belched out of.
Maybe she heard it on OAN? Or that whole description was a dog whistle she hoped would leak? Or both?
Been a Godzilla fan for pretty much my entire existence (32 years), and I don’t think I would have ever expected this, but cool!
Yah, that wasn’t an especially good example to prove their point. Tosh.0 got famous dunking on folks like the Star Wars Kid, and that dude underwent some real nasty bullying afterward.
When I was younger, I definitely made the same mistake as the young lady in the video and forgot which side my fuel tank was on. I got really, really embarrassed and actually drove away from the station because I was so flustered. Real glad some dude wasn’t filming me at the time for the internet’s amusement. Also…
“You guys are just snobs who don’t get it” is absolutely the defense of someone who feels self-conscious over liking something that they also think is bad.
I’m genuinely glad you’ve made this joke on every article about Joker.
Pretty sure The Last Broadcast is on Amazon now, and that blurs the line much more effectively, imo.
I didn’t find it particularly scary, but I did appreciate the technical eye that went into making it. They captured the 70s Satanic B-movie perfectly, and the various audio and film manipulations set the tone well.
Have you seen the most recent Doom film, Doom: Annihilation? It was unceremoniously dumped to Netflix last year and is just... breathtakingly bad in every imaginable way. The costumes look like a local theater production, and the protagonist - who is, uh, Joan of Arc - spends more time running and sniveling than…
Only thing that comes to mind are Adult Swim-style animated shows like ATHF.
