Re: Whither the GOP? (post-Trump edition)
I am still convinced that Trump will be a long-term disaster for the GOP. I think the GOP is going to lose control of both houses over the 2018 and 2020 election cycles. Get set for a decade of Team Blue rule. It's kind of like how high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea are how our bodies fight off dis...

Re: Twitter!
I agree with Radley Balko's take on this clusterfuck: "As a libertarian, I've voted for candidates from the LP as well as from both major parties. But I can't remember wanting one party to lose as badly as I want the GOP to lose in November. They basically need to start from scratch." Careful what ...

Re: Twitter!
So long as we're stuck with a two-party system, I'd at least like to see both parties be more-or-less sane, rather than have one be the Raving Loony Party. Because for all that the Democrats suck, they're not likely to improve until after the Republicans do, because the Dems don't HAVE to; all they...

Every twit who term-drops "late-stage capitalism", especially the ones who only have a dim understanding of what that term was intended to mean.

Re: Alternate histories
Strictly speaking, this is not an alternate history so much as alternate geology: what would our planet's climate be like if Earth rotated in the opposite direction? I'll check my bookmarks when I get home, but I came across this site a few years back where this guy did these detailed what-if globa...

Re: How's the weather? v. 1.1
Temperatures will go from 41 last night to a high of 80, later today. This week should be warmish.

Monster has cans of caffeinated sugar water in every convenience store, gas station, grocery store, and pharmacy across the US... but it's the other guys who are the massive multinationals who dominate the energy drink market. Even by advertising puffery standards, that's a bold one. Again, it's ma...

Re: The son of "What the hell are YOU staring at?"
I've been enjoying the show "Black Lightning" on the CW network, though I say that as someone who had no prior knowledge of the actual comic book character. (Were I familiar with the book, perhaps I would currently be filled with Comic Book Guy-style nerdrage.) I think right now there's only one ep...

I’m saying a retarded 9 year old could handle “X is murder. A person does X, they are A - a banana, B- a jar of mayo, C- a murderer ... And if you take 99% of abortion opponents and see them refuse to readily agree that women who get abortions are murderers in any consequential way (deserving punis...

Jennifer - broadly I think what you are doing there is building a mechanism that allows you to selectively apply generous definitions to statements you find less offensive and strict definitions to statements you hate.
