I like to fantasize about what we might do with all the ships when/if the companies fold (mark my words: Trump will find a way to funnel these people money). I mean Carnival alone has thirty-five of these boats.

Probably wasn’t a mistake; they just accidentally pulled out the big manila envelope marked “2022" instead of “2020". It’s like when the Georgia legislature in 2010 briefly introduced then hastily withdrew a law making having a miscarriage a felony and nobody could seem to track down who’d actually introduced it.

Someone needs to say it: Some bodies, sometimes, should be occasions for shame.

And it’s such a crummy, shitty empire compared to Rome, too. Even at the end, Rome had exquisite mosaics and statuary and fish oil and wine and nubile serving-girls. And nobody had to wear pants; pants were for barbarians.

Yep. I also thought we had successfully Processed her; shifted her into her duly appointed role of Celebrity Unfunny Court Jester. Like Tia Tequila or Sarah Palin.

Yep. Between that and what I hear about how members of The Wing treat the staff of The Wing and whatsername’s scream about everyone not seeing Charlie’s Angels, we’ve reached the Scold Them Into Compliance stage of pop-feminism.

Yandy.

No, that’s in there with ‘wishing for a million more wishes’.

You say ‘hijacking’, I say ‘creatively appropriated.’

The train is hounded off of twitter amid accusations of fat-shaming.

I’d be safe in my pantomime gorilla suit.

You just pasted together six utterly commonplace articles on sleep problems and sold the column, huh?

Virtual reality sucks and it always will. Fuck you and your stupid face TV, computer faggot.

No, none of what you’re saying actually works. Higher minimum wages.

Oh good, so the video game I could not figure out how to play also has a board game version that a well-meaning but WAY the fuck too-enthusiastic friend of mine will try to excitedly explain the rules to and fail, leaving me groping along and losing by a margin of 50 to 100 points because nothing the fuck makes any…

I hope he dies. The world will be better when he is dead.

I don’t think apocalypse films (or games or books) are going to ‘work’ as well after this. They won’t be ‘fun’ anymore.

Yeah. This was everyone’s huge inital fear with HIV, too. Didn’t happen. Mosquitoes, terrible as they can be for human health, aren’t great carriers of viruses.

Everyone, about 30 days ago when Bernie lost big on Super Tuesday: “Stupid Bernie: Free healthcare and universal basic income—seriously, the government cutting checks to everyone?--will never work.
