Wow ABC swiftly canceled Rosanne after she posted racist and conspiratorial tweets this morning.

This Warriors/Rockets game is nuts

I know this post is three months old, but I've never understood how a Christian could achieve a stable peace of mind when nearly any innocuous pleasur...

Love Nick Drake. Pink Moon is one of my favorite albums.

Curiously, the original Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies of all time, and yet, I - and many others - thought the new Blade Runner 2049 manage...

Fair enough. Although I don't see Star Wars to think much. I just assume I shouldn't be insulted by bad plots, bad acting, bad dialogue, bad character...

Also, is Lebron James > Michael Jordan? He fucking killed the game tonight.

Re: Boba Fett, part of his character appeal is his mystique. Same with Solo which helps explain the lackluster box office performance. Besides, Star W...

Reviews have been mostly "meh" so far, and I don't care much to spend $16 on a mediocre movie. I think they should stop focusing on characters we alre...

Anyone see Solo? I'm pretty over Disney's Star Wars. Only thing I loved was the last hour of Rogue One.

I love the show Community (first 3 seasons, at least), but they really screwed up Pierce's character in season 2

*stares back*

This is an absurd characterization. Have you even read a book about liberalism by a liberal?

I'm bored. Where are the Trump sympathizers who want to defend this flagrant affront to human decency. Or we just gonna talk about Descartes for the u...

Seems like the the marketplace of ideas is currently experiencing a market failure.

I don't disagree, save for life threatening issues, but the vast majority of abortions (+95%) take place prior to 5 months of pregnancy, so it's not m...

Wow we're really making this country great again huh...

Glad that Ireland voted YES to repeal abortion bans, but disgusted at the fact that such an issue can be put to a vote. Bodily autonomy should be as s...

Incels are men with terrible personalities, who use every other excuse under the sun to justify why they can't get laid, with the focal explanan being...

Don't think it's the one classified under the 'High Fantasy' genre.

Following Nassim Taleb on twitter is torturous.

Lol I meant "Development as Freedom"

The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism From Edmund Burke to Donald Trump by Corey Robin Satantango by László Krasznahorkai

Throughout the Congressional hearing, Zuckerberg mechanically emphasized that Facebook's overarching mission was to "connect people". There is strong ...

I'm gonna throw up

Ah, so when confronted with statistics that are at variance to your armchair analysis, those surveyed must simply be liars. That's the precisely type ...

Cynthia Tisdale was one of the Santa Fe teachers who was killed in the recent school shooting. She worked two jobs in order to pay for her husband's m...

Here are some things that you will hear when you sit down to dinner with the vanguard of the Intellectual Dark Web: There are fundamental biological d...

Except bullying isn't an epidemic exclusive to American schools. In fact, boys ages 11-15, in nations such as Canada, Switzerland, France, and Ireland...

Yeah we can't enact gun control in order to reduce gun violence because of a perverse idea that gun rights take priority over human lives.

Royalism is dumb

So how many fucking more times do we need to bring this damned thread up again?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if, within the next 200 years, the Holocaust occurred again (albeit likely on a smaller scale).

Wow, all these years and I had no idea!

I think @"StreetlightX" hit the nail on this head with this. I will just add that "We're All Human" is as much a bromide as the counter-phrase, "All L...

Holy fuck now I'm suddenly hearing Laurel

Also I hear Yanny

When Black America points to the Starbucks incident, or the Yale incident, or the Oakland park incident, or the Nordstrom incident (and these just occ...

EL-O-EL

If the claim is that a black person can be racist, or hold stereotypes, etc. then sure that's undeniably possible, albeit banal, because it can be tru...

"Many blacks are racist against whites" is a statistical statement, and as such it should backed by some statistics. If there are no statistics to bac...

I'm being serious about needless civilian deaths, and sarcastic at your responses to it, because they can't be taken seriously.

Why invent a hypothetical when we have an actual event with actual consequences and actual deaths? The fact that you need to "play make-believe" inste...

Yeah Baden, how could you be so stupid, the Palestinian civilians were well armed with rocks. We all know what happened with David and Goliath, althou...

I'm still in a daze over the fact that Robert Jeffress and John Hagee, preachers who said Hitler was a blessing for the Jews because it was part of Go...

Personally, I think President Moon Jae-in said this to placate Trump's infamous tantrums. China probably had more to do with this than Trump. But I gu...

Of course. Not every Jewish Israeli citizen condones the violence committed by their Government. I was in Israel (exactly two years ago to this day, i...

I think at this point, the overemphasis of Israel as the beating heart of Judaism, after the horrors of the Holocaust, has been damaging for the Jewis...

Additionally, one of many nauseating aspects of this, is that Jewish ownership of Jerusalem and the existence of the state of Israel is a prerequisite...

NYT opinion section is usually crap, but this piece was spot on.
