In this case, I think we CAN only do the one thing. The NRA would love nothing more than to distract from themselves and the problematic gun culture they’ve developed. Media fascination with shootings is absolutely a problem, but I think the minute we take our focus off the NRA, we’re going to lose all this momentum,…

I read it a few years ago, just because it was the political bogeyman for these people, and I wanted to see what the fuss was about, not for any kind of class. And I found it to be damn near incomprehensible gibberish. The fact that people like LaPierre still treat it as some kind d of dangerous leftist/Satanist Bible…

I always found Diane to be a neurotic fucking mess. But in hindsight, I suppose they were both neurotic fucking messes. I guess I’m just colored by the show being so much better after she left.

Hell with voter registration... I look forward to when these survivors of school shootings start running for office, and start trying to pass gun control legislation. Let’s see the GOP try and shut THEM down as out of touch.

I’ve made an active effort to remove “gyped” from my vernacular (since it was still pretty common back in the 80's when I was a kid), but some of these seem really lost to the mists of time. I can’t see anybody getting offended by “no can do” “long time no see” “sold down the river” or “bugger” unless they’re…

I see where you’re coming from; there are certainly hints of that video games = violence hysteria tinged in this. But this key difference is this is backed by actual science. We know how the brain responds to gambling, and we know that these loot box systems have been designed to trigger the exact same response. There…

Jesus... we’re officially in a post-goatse world. I bet these kids don’t even know what tubgirl is, either!

How’s your Keurig coffee maker?

How the fuck can somebody like this movie? It was absolute nonsense, from start to finish.

Or, more likely, he’s bald as fuck because he’s a 70+ year old man, and what we see are poorly designed weaves/prosthetics/wigs layered to look like a simulacrum of real hair. Something like this, but 10 times more elaborate.

Are you stupid? Do you not realize there are major arteries running through your thigh, and hitting one of those can lead to catastrophic blood loss?

Spoken like someone who has never worked with addicts before.

Aren’t adopted children given automatic citizenship? So it seems patently absurd to apply more stringent barriers to biological, but surrogate children.

Still children, even if they’re of “legal” age. Your brain doesn’t stop developing until 25. And personally, even then I don’t think you’re an adult until 27.

Holy shit dude, this is REAL science that we have tested. Do you think people flash freeze like the movies show?

This site has a giant metaphorical boner for Chesea Manning, despite her now publicly avowed “literal crazy person political positions”. So I’m not in the least bit surprised by the not-that-subtle attempt to smear Cardin.

“Close all prisons and release inmates”

And yet she lost against a deeply unpopular manbaby who can’t keep his public feuding off of Twitter.

The VP slot is for shoring up perceived weaknesses of the main candidate. In this case, Obama was a young, inexperienced candidate that not many people knew about before the primary. So Biden was brought in for his experience, foreign knowledge, and gravitas. It was never a sure thing that he was going to run in 2016,…

Amazon really needs to reign in some of these channels on their service. I went looking through some of the offerings one late night a few months ago, and some of them literally have half a dozen shows to offer. A double pay wall, for six shows.
