Also been rewatching alot of Mr. Show lately, and they pretty much predicted the Trump voter with Bob’s CS Lewis Jr character, especially in the recorded skits he did for the live tour.

“They spoke to kids from low-income backgrounds and gave them the chance to both find commonality with others through their pain and revel in a gaudy, escapist fantasy.”

Yeah, this bullshit from Penn is a perfect example of how toxic libertarianism / objectivism truly is.

Maybe I just run in the wrong circles, but modern libertarians I know all just care about not paying taxes, owning as many guns as possible, and complaining about PC culture. The only thing that they may agree with liberals on is the government staying out of everyone’s bedroom. 2018 Libertarianism to me has just…

It’s almost as if you’re saying libertarians don’t give much of a fuck about anything except themselves.

That’s because libertarianism as a philosophy isn’t any deeper than “Waahhh! Leave me alone!”

Holy fuck Twitter sucks. I'm gonna say about 90% of the people calling for a recast are trolls who really don't care and the rest are just assholes who hate gay people. Twitter can fucking burn and take Facebook along with it

I’m one of the horrible people who fell out of love with this show the more ambitious and byzantine its plotting became. Some day I’ll get caught up, but I can’t imagine anything will approach my affection for the first two seasons.

The right are a bunch of bullies who get off in putting others down. Everything is a zero-sum game to them, so we therefore can’t all be wonderful special people.

Man, fuck that. Mr Rogers taught how to have self esteem but not at the expense of compassion for other people. You can feel good about yourself AND not be an entitled fuck head. I don't think any of those shitheads get that

Didn’t take long to find the worst take ever.

My god, this changes everyth[dies of boredom]

I like the new Doctor’s smile. I know what you’re going to say but not in a sexist “You should smile more” way but in that it expresses a sense of wonder and enthusiasm that I think an entity who experiences the enormity of time and space through new eyes on a semi-regular basis should have. Eccleston had that smile,…

Unfortunately, in the United States, that’s actually a large contingent of Israel’s supporters. Our Bible Belt is HUGE and out of it’s goddamn mind.

NPR seems to have just gone:”fuck it” at some point in the last six months, and don’t have any time for Trump’s nonsense anymore. They sort of present fact check as part of the news now, like they’ll say “President Trump said X today, which is false about Y, who never said what Trump said he did...in other news, a…

I've noticed this a lot on various NPR shows. So many occasions come along where the natural and appropriate response would seem to be something along the lines of "But that's what you get with a President who's uninformed and doesn't listen to intelligent advice" and it just doesn't come.

The sad thing is that I can and will point out to people who I have been friends with for 20 years how he is attacking the very roots of democracy, how often President Trump is going to the dictator’s handbook, how repression of press is something we studied in school and the implication.

“Please listen while I refute the arguments that ‘haters’ are making on Twitter,” is right up there with “Please jump into this cesspool with me” as an invitation I’d just as soon decline.

But he isn’t even a badass in ESB! He barely escapes the Wampa (he’s clearly panicked and retreating at the end of that fight) and he SUCKS in the fight against Vader, who’s obviously toying with him. He literally gets one glancing blow on Vader’s shoulder after Vader’s been propping him up for like 10 minutes, and…

Wait, there are people who don’t already know this?? It was obvious to me the first time I saw it in the theater and I was five years old at the time. Luke looks down at his mechanical hand, realizing that he’ll become like Vader if he kills him.
