I think it was Isaac Asimov who said that the biggest discoveries aren’t met with shouts of “Eureka!” but mutterings of “that’s odd...”

Fuck you tucker with a lowercase t. Anyone who looks like they still get a haircut by their mother at the dinner table at his age shouldn’t be allowed to express their opinions, ever.

Carlson, Trump, and their allies want to have a monopoly on victimization. That’s inconvenient since they haven’t faced any real challenges in their lives, so they get pissed when people identify real harassment.

In 2017 keurig pulled ads from hannity over his repulsive on air support, like crazy over the top support of Roy Moore. Idiots posted videos of them smashing their keurig. Smashing keurigs for Sean hannity and Roy Moore. You know they’re too dumb to make non pod coffee too. 

No, I get all that, and I’m aware of Manchin’s and Johnson’s bs, but every day to see a headline that says “It passed!” when it’s still in process, is just annoying. I really need that check right now and they are toying with my emotions. 

That was so stupid. And the keurig smashing. Stupid. 

I just got a form letter saying ours were due within seven days of receipt of said letter. So....

Whoever owns the rights to Robert Heinlein’s stuff needs to get in on this racket immediately. 

What makes this is even weirder is that they are incentivizing the publishers to do exactly what they are protesting against. Now to those estates know that if they want to drive up the sales of their books, they just need to announce that they are pulling a few minor ones off circulation for some woke reasons.

Yes! Every damn day it’s like oh it’s been passed by the House, but wait, the Senate has to approve. Oh the Senate approved, but wait, the House has another say. I wish they’d stop teasing. I’d rather not know a damn thing until the day it’s completed and they’re about to post in my account. 

when are they coming

As a copyright lawyer, I’ve tried to point that out to a few people – that the estate owns all the rights to these books and is 100% within those rights in pulling them off the market if they choose to. You want bakers to have the right to refuse to bake cakes for other people, then authors certainly have the right to…

Can someone please create a meme that liberals are trying to cancel hammers because conservatives might hit themselves on the head repeatedly?

I’ve seen it pointed out several times that this is one of the most baffling retaliations in ages. Because the right-wing hype circuit has made this about cancel culture, instead of the publisher’s own decision, they have now rewarded the publisher by buying a lot of Seuss books.

It’s funny (although not really “haha” funny) to think that Morgan reacted to this extremely mild criticism, which basically only amounted to pointing out that the massive disparity between Markle’s public comments about Morgan (none) and Morgan’s public comments about Markle (numerous and vicious), by storming off…

I use the story of Lot and his family, and Sodom and Gomorrah as an illustration for why, even if I believed in their god, I wouldn’t worship him, because he is clearly terrible and not worthy of worship. Lot offers up his daughters to be raped, in order to protect the angels staying in his house, like actual angels…

You know those Corinthians were like: Who the hell is this rube?

I’m far less surprised that some evangelical pastor in rural Missouri gave a sermon like this than I am that there was actually a backlash. This has been the core narrative for young women in these communities forever, and it usually comes from the older women.

“dig out your Bible!”
