Peter Thiel turning out to be this stupid honestly messes with my idea of him as the eminence grise behind the Gawker lawsuit, maybe Hogan pitched him on it and kept having to explain like “a lawsuit is like when they blew up the Death Star brother”

if you watch these shorts you can see that tactical clothing and gear is essentially a guilty pleasure for men to have the same level of accessories as women

Is it illegal to sell drugs for money? Is it illegal to accept bribes? Is it illegal to be a murderer for hire?

I mean … a number of crimes can fairly be characterized this way

Vance is having an incredible morning on the Sunday shows doing "oh so now it's illegal to [mundane thing]?"

A real quote when Vance is asked about whether Tom Homan kept the $50,000 he got in a fast food bag: "Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services?"

One and Two are great examples of how the medium is the message because they are extremely 70s movies artistically and socially despite being period pieces

Nietzsche really had so many different aspects of these clowns dead to rights; impossible to look at RW carping about eg "what if white people had to learn the first thing about their history" without thinking, oh, YOU are the weak-minded truth-hating ones he was so contemptuous of!

“You desire to LIVE "according to Nature"? Oh, you noble Stoics, what fraud of words! Imagine to yourselves a being like Nature, boundlessly extravagant, boundlessly indifferent, without purpose or consideration, without pity or justice, at once fruitful and barren and uncertain..."

As the speeding ticket cops used to say: where's the fire?

Not one of these bothsider reports can show any evidence of this alleged "hellscape" BUT REPEAT IT UNCRITICALLY as a valid POV.

While I was dismantling the library I noticed that the volumes were ordered neither alphabetically nor according to subjects, yet they were clearly not arranged without rules, but rather according to relationships of affinity, a system of mutual sympathies or of relation through argument.

Connoisseurs of spoonerisms in literature obviously hold the sex scene in Tlooth in high regard, but it's too infrequently remarked how skillful a move it was for Mathews to use "she ceemed exsited too" as the first, and inaudible, spoon
