It's more complicated with movies and TV shows. Like if you boycott Joss Whedon, you're also boycotting his victims.

So the same thing that happened to Alex Jones?

Pornhub's already geoblocking several states over age verification laws, so Republicans must think it's a more popular policy than it is.

Two months ago Greg Abbott pardoned a murderer who texted a friend "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters" then drove into a BLM protest in Austin and killed a protester. The universal response from conservatives to the pardon was "Yeah! Woo-hoo!" Now they say liberals should turn down the rhetoric

Well I'm given to understand that today & for a VERY limited time, our nation's political violence party is shocked—shocked!—to learn that we currently live in a world of normalized political violence, and would like very much to know who is to blame.

Would it matter? Republicans will claim it's a radical leftist even if it's a former Republican congresscritter who hosts a program on OAN.

It goes without saying that the failed assassination of a would-be dictator is a bad thing.

Vox Day's a featherweight. I got him banned from Goodreads by guessing the password to join his secret community and taking screenshots of his plan to dox site mods and brigade liberal authors with bad reviews.

The list has been around for a while, so it includes people who went after Jamelle long before the current brouhaha.

The key difference between "AI" generation and previous labor saving technologies is that "AI" is replacing activities that are enjoyable despite taking effort, whereas nobody would prefer to dig up a sidewalk with a pickaxe instead of a jackhammer.

So long as they win by a convincing margin. In Biden's position, a narrow miss won't stop the criticism, and a secret vote has a good chance of being leaked.

Yeah, if someone told you, "The odds of flipping two coins and both landing heads is 25%" and then you flipped two coins and both landed heads, your first response wouldn't be, "Ha ha! You were wrong!"

The extended version is worth it for this scene: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn42...

Im Not Jewish, Nobodys perfect Independence Daywww.youtube.com Scene from Independence Day, if you want more of these type of clips Please leave your requests below and i'll try my best to get any scene for ya. Actors in...

Anytime somebody hits me with, "It's unbelievable that Goldblum could whip up a computer virus that would take down the aliens in one night," I grab them by the shoulders and scream in their face, "It's an homage to 1950s flying saucer movies. It doesn't need to be realistic."

A black guy and a Jew save the world. It's the perfect film for the pod.

A big reason why Shelley remade the novel was that her son was entering school and she wanted to distance herself from her scandalous past. The preface makes it sound like she and Percy were a married couple, but in fact he'd abandoned his pregnant wife to run off with her when she was 16.

7. in the 1832 version, Shelley incorporated conservative views and had clearly read the criticism. It could now be read as an 'improving' book. You'll find editions of 1831, 1832, 1839, 1849, but they're all the same edition and they are the result of Bentley's copyright shenanigans. 7/?

I think Biden should remain on the ballot, but "We had a primary and the people chose Biden" is an asinine argument. The primary was a rubberstamp. The only other option was Guy Nobody Knows, and he withdrew before most people could vote.

The President can't override a pardon for state crimes. He can stop death squads from operating in the US. Thesis not a complicated distinction.

If Biden wins and a Republican governor sends out death squads against gay people, Muslims, Jews or whoever else he deems demonic, there is zero chance that Biden doesn't send in National Guard to stop him. It's not even a close call.

Article IV, §4. He calls up the National Guard and tells them to arrest the governor and anyone aiding his murder spree. He voids the state constitution and orders the creation of anew one. If SCOTUS says anything, he responds, "Abe Lincoln, bitches."
