Most old guys in the Senate, I wish they'd retire or die already.

Wyden, I wish he was 20 years younger.

I remember back in the 90s, when Harlan Ellison tried to sue the internet for existing.

I can provide more details, but honestly I think that summary pretty much covers it.

Always remember, "IQ" is their codeword for race. "High IQ" means "white". "115+ IQ" means "white and blonde".

"Has feminism failed women?" and "Has feminism failed desperately horny teenage girls?" are kinda two different questions.

They had that same panic about internet porn, and the opposite happened.

It seems obvious to me that if someone's a creep, it's objectively better for the world if they're jerking off at home rather than harassing human beings with feelings.

Bold of you to assume he has a reflection.

Excellent piece. Just read a couple paragraphs from it to my wife, who also loves that movie.

"It's not supposed to be like this!"

"It's not SUPPOSED to be like anything."

A human has about 3 quarts of blood, give or take.

A horse typically has over 10 gallons of blood.

Sentiment aside, at a certain point one must consider efficiencies of scale.

SO MANY searchable porn tags in this story...

There seems to be a very broad problem of "taking texts entirely at face value", where "text" can mean anything down to a three-second clip.

A common tactic, for example, is to defend historical bad guys by quoting their propaganda, without the context of "This was all false." AND PEOPLE BUY IT.

He IS accurately summing up the "counter view", though. Yes, Twitter has become a place where non-Nazi views are specifically and consistently suppressed in order to create a false impression of popular support for the indefensible. That is, in fact, our objection. Good job, Matt!

Dude, I just had a look at your timeline, and I hope to fuck you're a trollbot, because otherwise... you've reduced an entire human personality down to a single issue that YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF. You are either a bot, or a pathetic, despicable tragedy. For your sake, I hope it's the former.

In case anyone is curious, the Bab Ballads were early work by W.S. Gilbert, better known for his work with Sir Arthur Sullivan in the field of comic opera.

Sounds like regurgitated Ayn Rand.

The great thing about comics is they get to play with wild, imaginative ideas that could never happen in the real world, like "too much garlic".

ETTA CANDY AND THE HOLLIDAY WOMEN

In the mid-1950s, Paradise Island is taken over by a bunch of leftover Nazis led by Paula Von Gunther's daughter.

Etta Candy must reunite her old college gang, the Holliday Girls, to save them. It's about women's social roles in the 1950s, and punching Nazis.

If I recall correctly, Stephen King sued to have his name taken off that movie.

The rule of thumb for ethnic stereotypes is simple. If you're exploiting them economically, they're all cheap. If you're exploiting their labor, they're all lazy.
