“Vote for me. I’m less terrible than the alternative.”
“How less terrible?”
“Only a little. Get excited! Donate money!”

Will the Democrats’ message of “We are arguably less bigoted than Trump, though we probably hate Jews in particular more” be enough for them to win in 2020?

I wonder what it would be like if I woke up in a world without Beatles, with my lack of musical talent and not being very good at remembering lyrics.
“Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
Something something…”

A Rian Johnson Star Wars trilogy sounded interesting, but a big problem was that The Last Jedi was terrible and everyone hated it and even though Disney must have paid off a bunch of critics to pretend to like it no one actually did.

When Rian Johnson leaves Star Wars, can he take Rose with him?

As much as I thought The Last Jedi was a big gut punch to Star Wars after the momentum The Force Awakens built up, I’m still kind of curious what a Rian Johnson trilogy would be like — where he’s got original characters and not ruining characters made by others.
Of course, it could just be all Holdos and Roses.

Had a number of people in my mentions claim to have enjoyed The Last Jedi. Nice try, RUSSIAN BOTS. Why don’t you join a Rian Johnson fan club along with VLADIMIR PUTIN.

It wouldn’t have fixed everything, but imagine how much more anticipation there would be for the next Star Wars movie if The Last Jedi ended when Kylo extends his hand to Rey.
Luke would still be alive. Rose would not have given that stupid love speech so she’d be not nearly as despised. Much more vague what’s happening with the New Order and Resistance. Movie not as overly long.
Instead, Luke’s dead and we had a battle which firmly establish the New Order is run by two unthreatening goobers. Really, one of my biggest problems with TLJ is there was nothing to it that made me say “I have to see what happens next!” Death for the middle part of a trilogy.
Also, Rey not accepting Kylo’s offer is where Rian Johnson finally decided to stop defying expectations — the place where it actually would have made the story more interesting.

Increasing the power of the power of the presidency is a great idea when you’re certain the president is always going to be someone who you’ll agree with, much like the left were certain during the Obama presidency.

We’ve unfortunately seen numerous hate crime hoaxes by now, so if you hear about an incident that if it were in fiction it would be bad writing, just wait for more details before freaking out.

You can’t chase away all the rich people if you want to tax rich people.

The main purpose of corporations is not to give us tax money. It’s not even in the top ten.

It’s possible the Amazon deal was a terrible deal, but the people who are all celebrating they chased away 25,000 jobs are the absolute worst and should be kept away from any economic exchanges.

I have trouble getting over the fact that most of the main characters of Dinosaur Train aren’t dinosaurs.

It used to be scientifically accurate to say “If it swam or flew, it wasn’t a dinosaur.” Now it’s, “If it swam or flew, it’s not one of the cool dinosaurs. It’s either a marine reptile, a flying reptile, or a super lame dinosaur also known as a bird.”

It’s a national emergency that the president has too much power.

I thought we shot all the socialists back in the 80s. Wasn’t that what those Rambo movies were about?

That Tetris 99 is kind of complicated to not have any instruction. I guess they figure everyone can google a thread on reddit.
And the Nintendo Direct didn’t emphasize enough that that game is free.

The best way to make sure people are paid $15 or more an hour is to start your own business and pay people that.

Maybe Smollett can just wait this out like that Virginia governor who we already forgot about. The way things are, you only have to hold out a day or two and some bigger story will come along.

That Tetris 99 is really fun and addictive for a free game. I would have paid good money for it. More than I would for Fortnite.
I guess it should be emphasized these days, but Tetris 99 is free—not freemium. There’s nothing to buy in it. If you have a subscription to Nintendo Online, you already paid for it (TANSTAAFVG).

Man, four kids is a lot of kids to keep track of when we’re out and about. I don’t know what we’re going to do when the fourth kid is mobile.

I enjoyed The Punisher season 2. Good ending if that’s the last we’ll see of the Punisher for a while.

Maybe both the Berlin Wall and Trump’s wall are bad, but it’s important to remember the Berlin Wall had to be built to keep people in because socialism is so bad and Trump’s wall is to keep people out because capitalism is so great.
One is like a prison wall. The other is like the wall around Disney World.

Oh no. People just yelled “This is MAGA country!” and shoved me in a barrel and threw me off of Niagara Falls but I was on the Canada side so it was really confusing.

I think the actual bigots were the ones whose BS sensors didn’t go off and instead said, “Yes, that sounds EXACTLY like things people wearing red hats would do.”

How is socialism “progressive”? It was an old, failed idea when Bernie Sanders was young. Come up with new horrible ideas.

Won’t Frozen 2 live or die on whether it has a big, show-stopping musical number? More than 50% of the popularity of Frozen was the song Let It Go.
Kids didn’t even seem to get the story. You can tell by how most young girls were obsessed with Elsa even though Anna was the protagonist and all Elsa did was freak out, sing, and wear a pretty dress.

Saying “conservatives did this” or “liberals did this” is weasel words as you can never tell right away if they’re talking about two or twenty million.

Saying “conservatives criticized Malia Obama” is true in the sense that “liberals are pedophiles” in that there are at least two that fit that description, making the plural justified. But it’s misleading.

I’m going to read the thoughts of people from decades ago and reflect on how I’m morally superior since I repeat from rote all the values I’ve been taught over and over since I was two.

I’m glad there’s no more recent racism than that interview from 1971 to get outraged about.

After being used to movies digitally, I hate DVDs. Feels like it takes and hour to actually get the movie started.

@#$& politicians always getting in the way of condiments.

What a better country this would be if we stopped pretending these mediocre people who run for president are objects worthy of praise and instead just recognize they are all but annoying obstacles in the way of ranch dressing.
