This show is just so good.
Stupid and juvenile, yes, but it’s a love letter to fans in a way that only SNW comes close to being.

The Boomers fought in world wars?
In utero, maybe.

You could start taxing them. Especially the rich ones.
You know that’s an option, right?

That brief little window during COVID when workers were able to get off one proverbial knee and be paid just a bit more while not losing hours per day communiting just has to be ruthlessly stamped out.
- Comment on Trump rallies plummeting! Sell! Sell! Sell! 5 weeks ago:
I suspect getting shot had something to do with it.
But us, rallies aren’t his narcissistic supply any more. Now they’re a source of fear and dread.
- Comment on Misinformation: Baseless claim about U.S. presidential candidate Kamala Harris crash spread by mysterious website 1 month ago:
“Liberal” doesn’t mean what many people think it means.
It doesn’t mean “leftist” or “progressive” or “humane”. There might be some overlap, but these are not the same things, despite conservatives trying to define them as such.

And now you, the mainstream media, are amplifying it and giving it oxygen.
It’s like y’all never learned the old Usenet adage: “don’t feed (quote) the trolls”.

Oil is fungible, lesbianism is not.
Not sure what my point is, there.

Guess they milked the rainbow dollar, and now they’re looking to increase market share among Nazis.

These drove like crap off the lot, but in their defense they’d keep driving like crap a million miles later.
- Comment on Any love for the Honda Odyssey? 2 months ago:
The Hondamatic five-speed transmission really tanked this van’s desirability. It made Chrysler look good by comparison
It’s a great vehicle otherwise, but there was a period around the turn of the millennium where any V6+5AT Honda or Acura product was a serious dice-roll.
- Comment on Liz Truss: Oppressed by Tweets, Victimized by Reality 2 months ago:
“If everyone is covered in mud, it makes it less obvious that you’re covered in shit.”
This is Liz and her cohort trying to “both sides!!” away the behaviour they incited.
It’s crab-bucket PR: if they can get enough of the media saying how bad the left is, it makes the right-wing pogroms less horrifying.
Trump did the same thing post-Charlottesville, conflating BLM and Antifa with the rich-setting, “Jews will not replace us” chanting, protestor-merdering neo-nazis who supported him.

The Toyota Previa is still cooler.
- Comment on 1990 Pontiac Trans Sport SE 2 months ago:
Ah the GM U-Body. It’s good looking trash, but it’s still trash.
Based on the then-problematic W-Body, it didn’t drive well, lacked a fourth door, had front suspension that got misaligned if you went over a speedbump and ate head gaskets for breakfast, which was a challenge because almost every issue with the powertrain or accessory belt stuff, and there were lots, was an engine-out repair job.
It made the Astro look good, which was not easy. Only the Toyota Van (the HiAce and Previa) were more challenging, and at least they were reliable.
The Caravan, exploding transmission and all, was a better car.
Interestingly, this same chassis got a lot less sexy as the years went on. GM butched it up for the SUV craze with the Montana/Uplander, and the shorty version was the basis for the Aztek.
- Comment on Olympic Sneaking: Qualifying Round 2 months ago:
The Olympics weren’t always about peak skill, at least in the athletic sense. Prior to (I think) 1948, they used to give out medals for artistic competition, like painting, sculpture or poetry.
Personally, I think they could bring those back; I wouldn’t mind seeing an Olympic art competition. Heck, they could modernize it: Olympic rap battles/battles of the band, or Olympic Iron Chef.

Goddamn, that’s brilliant. Well done.
- Comment on Why a union president crossed partisan lines for a starring role at Trump’s RNC | CNN Politics 3 months ago:
He’s delusional if he thinks that a Republican administration wouldn’t be multiple times worse, and Vance has about as much conviction as a weathercock.
I’m reminded of Democrats that plan to sit our t because of their party’s failure on Palestine. Motherfucker, do you think Donald “bomb them back to the Stone Age” Trump, the man Netanyahu prefers, is a better choice?

You know who the Nazis came for first, right?
Hint, it wasn’t the Jews. It wasn’t the gays. It wasn’t the Roma. It was the trade unionists.
There’s going to be some serious leopard/face moments for this fellow and his supporters should Trump win.

Sucks to be anyone who owns a Dell Precision 7670 because you paid for the R&D for this format but can’t benefit from it.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
China being authoritarian is a “Dog bites man” story. It’s expected.
Same with police misconduct in the US: it’s also dog-bites-man.
Trump and his team realized that outrage fatigue is a thing: fuck up daily and with such magnitude that being a corrupt fuckup becomes a non-story and then you can get away with anything.
Steve Bannon even had a term for it: “flood the zone”.

I mean, there’s a good chance they might wait a while in triage and parking can be expensive, but that’s really about it.
