Every time they see a competent woman with authority, they have a sudden "Mommy's gonna take away my video games again" panic attack.

For real the OG Galactus had a big "G" on his chest. Incredible.

Take your evil deeds out of my sight; stop doing wrong. Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.

Repent, you blood thirsty hypocrites.

Don't reason or compromise w/the right; tell them to repent. To the religious right, God says:
When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening.
Your hands are full of blood! Wash and make yourselves clean.

That castle is a serious pile of stones!

Oh, wow! I don't think I'd seen that one before. It's fantastic. So much detail and cool stuff going on.

I dropped First Things when Stanley Hauerwas bailed because FT was all-in for the first Iraq War. That decision has been getting steadily more correct for decades now.

I remember seeing some early concept art you teased thinking it looked impossibly cool, like the painting on the cover of a 70s sci-fi paperback. And then years later it actually came out and did not disappoint. Captured not just the look but the feel of that classic sci-fi

Because that's what a PDF *is* — the result of telling a computer program to put in a file what would happen if it were to print.

Now if there were also evidence that it led to a drop in mysterious deaths of the worst married men, there would be an ethical debate to be had....

You just know he'd fall for the "Look! The Goodrich Blimp!" trick.

Poor people can't buy a coke with SNAP but this buffoon gets to use my taxes to fly to Europe and drink beer

When you've laid your infographic groundwork so well that a few bright lines on the cover can give me goosebumps...

Cool that you twisted his meaning by misquoting and leaving out "I'm no better than you," which was his actual point.

Leaving the country was probably the best thing he could possibly contribute to the effectiveness of the investigation.

I don't know which side of the US/Canadian border you live, but I think I'm on your side.

The framing I prefer is that the enemy is the right wing reaction to liberalism, which is a global phenomenon. The conflict is less between states, so much as states are the prize to be won. The reactionaries won control over the US, and are using it to attack liberalism at home and abroad.

He meant the privilege of getting 600 likes for such a low-effort joke.

I am begging the uncoolest dudes on the Internet to keep cringemaxxing that particular slang into the ground as quickly as possible.

But that's just empirically how language works. People use words to mean things, and if people mostly use a word to mean X, then they mean X, regardless of how some dictionary predicts what word they ought to have used to mean X.

You have the most apples, but it would not be idiomatic to say that you have "most of the apples"; people mostly use that phrase to describe someone who has a lot more apples than anyone else.

Interstellar was for people who always wanted to watch Contact while sitting inside a pipe organ going full blast.

I saw Batman v. Superman in a theatre and somewhere in like the 3rd or 4th tedious hour, a little kid's voice said "Are they done yet?" And much of the theater laughed. Which was horrible because we were laughing at child abuse.

Hardware Store is undefeated.

No. Conservatives don't get to own the Stars and Stripes and they don't get to own Jesus. How can you say something like this the week that Jesse Jackson died? Christians fought to end slavery and segregation and some of us will fight to end ICE and protect the rights of trans people.

Some have said it's the worst thing to ever happen to Abraham Lincoln in a theater.

See, that's the part that's been documented over and over: that these mobs can reach a critical mass and then keep harassing someone for years no matter what they do. It's not magic; it's just people being assholes. I hope it never happens to you.

Are you imagining Stancil could just start posting about puppies without some bozo replying "You act like you care about puppies but what about the time you said this thing that I think everyone should be mad at you about?"

So by "de-escalate" do you mean get off the internet entirely so that the mob stops harassing you no matter what you do?

You wouldn't believe what folks from Gallifrey refer to as a "screwdriver."
