It seems there's an inherent connection between extreme political conservatism & near-complete artistic illiteracy. I almost want to devote my life to researching why, but I feel that way lies madness... & I think I'm probably mad enough already.

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

of course I have a girlfriend. you don't know her. she belongs to a different antifa, in Canada

Girl almost gave half the country a coronary.

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck.

Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special.

"She probably doesn't mean me"

I do.

This thread is FIRE!
Recently walked into a comic shop with $$ ready to buy a Hulk story I'd been wanting to read. Marvel's collections of old stories are so confusing &/or pricey that me & shop owner couldn't find it for under $250. Make comics easier to get into for both comic fans & newbies!

It's times like this that I'm glad that the only way I know about current popular music trends is via your work.

I go to Starbucks constantly with a friend who orders "a small black coffee" every time. Those words. The only question we've ever gotten is, "Room left for cream?"

Jason is right. Never happened ever.

"Sasquatch IS something I haven't seen before!"

This scene was the first and only thing my brain provided upon seeing that image. In fact, I had to read your text to realize it was supposed to be Chewie at all.

Hey, I have that issue!

We talking...
Genuinely hate = already writing the script

PREACH!

Actually, if you use it especially in the sense of a person (ex. "an unctuous politician") you're absolutely in the right. That usage is widely recognized and dictionary validated (as much as I hate using those terms, linguistically).

You may get a raised eyebrow from culinary pedants, but 🤷‍♀️

Well, in the 1700s, you'd be wrong.

But in 2025? You're... kinda spot on. Well done you!

English speakers tend to find "un-" followed by a hard consonant to connote unpleasant things. So I think "unctuous" was always going to end up negative due to that... mouthfeel, for lack of a better term.

Well, you're wrong with the original definition, but in the MODERN usage, you're closer.

Since it comes from the Latin for sacred ointment, it means oily kinda broadly. With food it was like "rich/fatty/pleasing." But now it mostly means obsequious/greasy in the negative as a person/thing.

What do you think it should me? As a linguist, this fascinates me.

No. I agree. Pay your artists.

My point is that SHE isn't special in this. It's not like Prince or Beyonce or Madonna "needed exposure" when they did it either. They were LEGENDS by the time they did it. They brought in viewers and some company paid for them. Just not the NFL (who sux).

But... This is literally how EVERY Super Bowl Halftime show works? I'm not saying it should be. I'm just saying it IS. I'm not sure they've EVER paid an artist. Usually the artist(s) or record company pays to promote some upcoming album or something.

Same as the commercials do... but musicians.

raise your hand if, when you hear the words "King Charles," your immediate thought is still "who the fuck is King Charles"

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

"... Kirk might wind up being their Ernst Vom Rath"
