What album from when I was 16 is a perfect 10? Apparently there are a handful of albums that I came to much later from that year that I consider all-time gems, but for me at 16, this album was a no-skips masterpiece.

Any other President in America did this and the mainstream media would crucify them for it.

The double standard is wildly infuriating.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Dick Cheney was proud to have normalized state-sponsored torture. That, and the dead of Iraq in an unjust war, constitute his entire legacy. “That’s not funny” is a meme-y cliche but I don’t care about the friend he shot or our jokes about it. Cheney is Kissinger level. He made the world worse.

No. It doesn't. MLK Jr.'s quote about the White Moderate comes to mind again.
Forget "Is Platner fascist in his heart." Facts:

As a young man he got a totenkopf tattoo.
He displayed it openly for 20-odd years
His social circle did not censure him during this time.
It became public knowledge.
He got a hasty not-quite-coverup.

and ask:

Does any of this display good judgement

"This is Bond villain shit"

His existence is Bond villain shit. Buying elections, influencing national policy? All Bind villain type shit. Robot army might even be a step too far for the likes of Blofeld.
Elon Musk wants to build a private robot army that he would have "influence" over. This is Bond villain shit.

The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

The intro to Annie Hall is minimally referencing Groucho Marx. I don't know if the joke goes back further than him, but it goes at least back to him.

Couple of names on the list of signatories that piss me off, that's for sure.

@cardtitan.bsky.social made the right decision. It's really funny to me how these fasc nutjobs are all in favor of businesses refusing service when it aligns with their opinions, but when it turns around they cry foul.
A group of losers put together an open letter to @cardtitan.bsky.social criticizing their decision to ban Joe Brennan from Eternal Weekend this year.

If you, like me, support their decision, TELL THEM. Message them, email them, show them that you support their decision to make EW safer.

"it's ok to sexually assault people who aren't dressed in a way I think they should be" says a man wearing a dirty tank top and ill-fitting glasses. A paragon of sartorial greatness for sure.

Fuck this dickhead and anyone who thinks it's ok to disrespect someone because of what they're wearing.
