Take it all in, it’s really something else. As Nathan J. Robinson put it: “There are so many bad opinions crammed into this single Wall Street Journal op-ed by Yale professor David Gelertner that I cannot hope to address them within the finite period of a human lifespan.” This is the same Gelertner who thinks the moon landings were a hoax, by the way, but apparently he’s good enough for the WSJ’s editorial page. Jesus fucking christ, this guy teaches computer science at an ivy league school, and he’s this much of a fucking idiot. How do you fix this?
I’m reasonably sure that my brothers and I are biological full-siblings. But two of us can chug the whole cow (as is the case with Dad’s side of the family), whereas the other has been lactose-intolerant since his teen years (as are some of our relatives on Mom’s side).
Those morons understand genetics about as well as they understand culture (any definition thereof).
Wow, the Wall Street Journal is on board with “Leftist” being the common term for Liberal or Democrat or Smart Enough To See Through Republican Bullshit. I thought that term was the product of hyperbolic lunatics like Clothahump or H.Ditka.
I have been under the impression that using multiple parentheses around a word was a way of evading content filters when posting on a board i have seen examples of this in other boards when a poster is making a racist slur but using this dodge to get past the filters on the board
Likely some of the trolls who are also WS, some of whom are actually tech savvy, may have caused a “slop over” to expand the meaning.
*"During a rally in Georgetown, Texas, on Tuesday, for Republican Senator Ted Cruz, a supporter shouted “Lock him up” in reference to Cruz’s opponent, Beto O’Rourke. Cruz replied that O’Rourke could share a cell with former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
“Well, you know, there’s a double-occupancy cell with Hillary Clinton,” Cruz said. "*
RE: this fucking idiot: he went in for an interview with Slate.
It’s like listening to someone ask Ian Juby whether or not the sun is larger than the earth. It is nails-on-chalkboard hard to read. If I studied CompSci at Yale, I’d want my tuition back. I think the highlight is this little exchange:
There was an exchange in that interview that certainly wasn’t meant the way I read it:
Re: birtherism What’s wrong with calling that into question? A lot of people were not born in America. Don’t restrict my freedom to ask questions that are perfectly legitimate, that cast no aspersion unless you choose to take them that way. Most of my best friends were not born in America.
Well, that’s fantastic.
(My sister has been known to use that phrase instead of What the fuck. Kids around, she doesn’t want to say fuck, but a certain tone and “well, that’s fantastic” gets the point across.)
At a Ted Cruz rally, his fans were chanting “Lock him up!” aimed at Beto O’Rourke. I am honestly confused. What do they want him locked up for? For having the audacity to run for the Senate?
NRA spokescreature Dana Loesch says NRA supporters should bring their guns to the polls to protect themselves from progressives. What are progressives going to do? Leaflet them to death?
Yeah, but I’d like to see her at least tied up in some serious lawsuits. And this was a bald call for people to do something illegal: bring firearms to a polling place. (Illegal most places, presumably. Texas, I don’t know about.)
