I prefer to attribute it to the bedrock fact that Ross Douthat is as proudly, loudly, and profoundly as stupid as one can be.

My theory is that flavor science has come so far that they can pretty easily make anything taste like anything now. So they put out these vile products not because they expect them to catch on but because they know enough people will buy them once on a lark for them to make a profit.

Trump annoyed at elections that resulted in utter and richly-deserved anal reaming for the GOP

How surprising, Donald Trump is unhappy that his party got trounced because every sane person in the country despises him.

All’s Fair review – Kim Kardashian’s divorce drama is fascinatingly, existentially terrible Not even Glenn Close can save this Ryan Murphy disaster from its dismal plots, clueless characters – and the worst kissing scenes ever filmed

This long review is pretty harsh, especially given that it could have just read "All's Fair is exactly as bad as you'd expect a drama led by Kim Kardashian to be."

Or Cheney might see them! I say that because, if there is a hell, they definitely have access to social media there.

Man, remember when Dick Cheney was the most rotten, despicable, cruel, and mendacious politician you could think of? Motherfucker wouldn't even break the top ten anymore. Still glad he's gone, though.

This is disingenuous pro-EV propaganda. I have been saving on gas for my ICE car for years by only ever driving downhill. Though I guess I'd have to admit that we haven't made much progress since our last road trip from Mt. Whitney to Death Valley.

No, it's true. Trump can do anything he wants at any time, he just can't do this, sorry!

JD's excuse is going to be that he was the victim of some sort of Hindu sorcery and that he has to hurry up and make some pure babies to balance out the half-brown ones he made when he was bewitched.

Propofol, I believe, is the stuff I like. Like getting knocked out by a rainbow-colored marshmallow.

I sure am seeing a lot of Mike Johnson's weaselly little face talking for a guy who's not at all doing the fucking job that we are all paying him to do.

I like how the interpersonal relationships feel very real--I mean, I know fuck-all about how smart, powerful people speak to each other, but everyone in this show feels authentic to me--while the plot developments are all just absolute batshit nonsense.
