I really think the world would be closer to a better place if going forward we only called them landleeches, it's a way more accurate term at the very least

Big fan of his fiction, My Work Is Not Yet Done in particular, happy to see any of his work getting multiple printings. Your copy's cover is way cooler imo

The overwhelming majority of Christians have been taught to believe the exact opposite about money since Reagan. It's prosperity gospel shit now, like god rewards the ones he loves most with the most money. I've been told that if gold isn't valuable, then why are the streets of heaven paved with it?

I saw posts about the song before I heard it myself and excitedly sought it out, thinking how happy I was that an Elliott Smith cover was blowing up. The disappointment was crushing

Somebody who's laces up his good guy boots every morning, but who WILL NOT examine his blind spots, who is actually kind of a hypocrite, who assumes any nastiness is justified because of what he's been through... that's an interesting character!

That's an interesting CHARACTER.

I don’t care if my friends don’t understand why I watch wrestling, I don’t understand why they listen to My Morning Jacket

It's like that old Simpsons gag, the cops are powerless to help people, but harming otoh is their bread and butter, so why would they get in the way of their ideological buddies doing just that

They were doing great stuff with basically nothing. I still remember the episode long best friends v Kenny and nakazawa fued. Great little bits of business sprinkled throughout that 8 or 12 week run they filmed in less than a week. Knew then they'd make it, as long as someone didn't kill them first

Bear Ghost does a great cover of hot to go if you're in the market for others

I think the point is buried real deep in all the quoted posts, they were originally talking about how there's a no true Scotsman style christian apologist argument that christians who support trump aren't "real" christians, and I guess there's something similar in Star Trek/wars fandom

I thought for sure he'd go to TNA before he ever went to the Fed again, but it is just about the money for capitalist man punk after all. Does he still wear the pro trans shirts and stuff he did in aew? I think dude's only real belief is in himself after all

I still kick myself for not clocking the country was gonna go for the fascists after the punk footage came out. Dude's ego couldn't handle the most tepid heat baiting shit imaginable, goes back to the people he swore he never would, and a lot of people still think he's some counter cultural hero

Sabu is said to have baited the ecw crowd into more you fucked up chants than were legitimate, so I'm inclined to believe more often than not that the fuck ups are on purpose as a form of selling, especially when the performers are so good

I'm just not sure why you'd take a politician's word that the ONLY form of leftism they encounter is the annoying online kind

I'm perfectly happy to believe you when you say leftists have been mean to you online, because it's happened to me too, but I'm not sure what to call extrapolating the character of an entire group based on any number of personal interactions to discount their ideas if not bias, plain and simple

But are they the only thing worth talking about when it comes to the left? Meet an asshole in the morning, you met an asshole, but if all you meet all day is assholes, then you're probably the asshole. Not that I think you're an asshole in particular

Plus it was extremely difficult to get everyone together and also agree to what we ended up with in the first place, but my money is on it being mostly a capitulation to the south, like most issues we're stuck with from history in this country
