That's genuinely my only hope right now.

What's disturbing about him is, like Trump, he seems to have good instincts for where the mood of a key section of the country is, and how to reach them. He's the part of the Trump campaign, for example, that's advocating for Sanders-style infrastructure programs, but he's also clever(/evil) enough to have mixed all…

So before the election the BBC sent some poor reporter to talk to Republicans in Florida.

And in the cartoon, at least, he was portrayed as an environmentalist.

Unfortunately that seems pretty common with geniuses.

Oh, I don't know.

Triumph of the Douche

It's also a phrase I'm going to add to my OKCupid profile.

The Elders of Zion were the original NWA, everybody knows that.

That's what I find striking about this. The points he's making are simplistic and wrongheaded, but whatever, I don't always need stand up comics to be insightful or well informed.

I'd buy tickets to that show for a dollar!

There's hate speech and there's drunken ranting, though, right? Not to say it isn't ugly, but it's not exactly the same as public advocacy.

Space wizards did it.

I stopped on both The Wire and Breaking Bad towards their ends because I was in a bad place IRL when I was binge watching; I still hope to go back to them.

I had the same thoughts watching this. I just kept asking myself over and over,

Did they? Wow.. I'm speaking from my memory of my social group's understanding of the time, so you could very well be correct.

So, yeah, Doom and Darwin, of course.

That's not really how depression works, in my experience. The whole thing of it is, when you're in the weeds, you *don't* understand that you'll eventually get better.

Most horrific thing I stumbled upon when I was going down some morbid rabbit hole online: photo of a woman taken by a serial killer moments before he murdered her.

I heard the other day a journalist make that argument re: Syria - he had footage/photos of decapitated children, things like that. His logic being that if more people saw the horror of what's going on over there, the West might be more inclined to put pressure on Russia and thus Assad to tone it down.
