  • Word Crimes for taking a song about dubious consent and changing it into a legitimately educational song.

  • Counterpoint:

  • Even worse than the planet of awful African stereotypes?

  • Foul Coughing

    The Pillage People

    The Shite Stripes

  • That sounds awesome, and isn't that terribly expensive, honestly. My wife and I went on a similar route road trip for our honeymoon a few years ago and it was in that same ballpark of cost, between car rental, hotels, and other expenses.

  • Money is no object?

    Alpha Centauri. Build a spacious and comfortable Orion Drive ship for me and a few thousand of my best friends to go on a nice long trip.

  • There was that one time he used diplomacy to... diplomatically reveal that he'd brought a bunch of trigger-happy Klingons to a confrontation with the Romulans. Picard loves diplomacy, but I would not want to face off against him in a shooting war.

  • I love the idea that a product was created to prevent prisoners from smuggling heroin, but then someone said "You know, I bet that would sell great at Sharper Image."

  • A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any other invention with the possible exceptions of handguns and Tequila.

  • I definitely assume that Palmetto Cheese is just ground-up palmetto bugs.

  • "I declare myself President for life!"

    "So you're saying there's exactly one very particular way for us to make you not be President anymore...?"

    "Uh..."

  • So much delicious potential...

  • Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

    --Jean-Paul Sartre

  • You know how people remember how the fecklessness of the Weimar Republic is what allowed Nazism to take over? They'll be remembered like that. And by "they," I kind of collectively mean nearly all of us.

  • There's no fucking way that a kid raised from infancy like Harry was, in a abusive hateful household that treated him like dirt, would have enough strength of character to pull shit like the "Give it here, Malfoy" scene after having been out of the Dursley household for less than a couple weeks. Think about how the Dursleys would have reacted every time young Harry tried to stand up for himself. It would have been nonstop physical and mental abuse, all aimed at making him more subservient. It would take a miracle for a kid like that to be even vaguely functional as a person, and he certainly wouldn't have the ability to stand up for himself, let alone others.

  • The difference is that Zuckerberg is pretending to be a Totally Cool Dude^TM, whereas Trump is authentically a psychopath manbaby moron. People are very good at detecting inauthenticity.

  • The thing is...

  • What happens at the Pentagon when the Chief Executive decides that we need to start actively ignoring something that the Pentagon itself declared to be a massive threat to national security?

    Like, suppose that Trump ordered the Pentagon to set fire to the entire fleet of F-15s and send troops literally marching to their deaths off the lip of the Grand Canyon. Surely there's eventually got to come a breaking point.
