Kinda digging Son Lux right now, having never heard of them before. Will give a proper listen tomorrow if I remember (drunk now). Lead singer oddly re...
I first read this back when it was first published and loved it. It's always insightful when someone of a different identity, whether class-based, eth...
The left won the culture war because the right has been gleefully positioned itself as anti-elitist, anti-intellectual, anti-academic for several deca...
Yeah I grew up watching The Justice League cartoon on Cartoon Network in my tweens, and the story-lines and characters were way more intricate and int...
I haven't read the comic books, but I imagine that audiences would be more sympathetic/understanding towards the radical Malthusian angle, than introd...
Yeah the Bush years were incredible successful. Easily the greatest President the US as had since Nixon. Hard to compare with Trump, but I strongly su...
I'm just trying to understand how you love previous WHC dinners, when previous hosts have routinely engaged in the "classless" roasts you now find dep...
There have been a number of male comedians at WCD, in the past decade, who attacked attendees who couldn't "defend" themselves. If comments made by Mi...
I thought her comparison of Ivanka Trump's pseudo-feminism to an empty box of tampons was fairly apt. Is it The New Yorker style of comedy? No, but th...
London curry is better than NYC curry, but I've never gotten so sick from NYC curry that it kept me up all night, as London curry did once. I guess th...

The Senate is old and technologically clueless, and Zuck deflected, for the most part. Or feigned ignorance. I did just re-watch The Social Network, w...
If by "sacred" you mean something like "inviolable", then it's not and never has been, and honestly shouldn't be. There is a high burden of justificat...
All this shows us is that Trump has been a chameleon over the course of his lengthy business career, blending in with the prevailing political atmosph...
As a card-carrying member of the elitist, intellectual, Jewish, left-wing, New Yorker, the idea that Trump is a "New York Liberal" is a risible epithe...
I'm curious to know, given previous conversations that have taken place in this thread, what reactions the right-wing users in this forum have to the ...
I'm glad that Kevin D Williamson lasted less than a week at The Atlantic, who shouldn't have hired him anyway. Basically they held a live grenade in t...
