The dinosaurs are technically not extinct drat it :argh:

Also the K/T Boundary Extinction was also caused by massive volcanic activity, I mean just look at the Deccan Plateau in India.

Also shame she didn't bring up the percent of life that is extinct: 95% :stare:

Was talking to my Oceanography teacher and we came to the depressing realization that all that is left of humanity will be a 3 inch layer of plastic.

Man humanity is going to be a blip on the geologic time scale.

Wow, that guy shuddering on "gay player".

I mean, its not really surprising that higher ups in the NFL are homophobic meathead assholes, and sports journalists aren't much better, but actually seeing it is just disgusting.

It's depressing to think that Jeb Bush is now considered a "good" governor because the steady decline from Bush to Crist has finally reached the deepest depths with Rick Scott. I'm glad I got out of there because FL is on a slide into the abyss and while I'm sad for some of the people still there I hope I live long enough to see it all covered by rising oceans.

Both shows had awkward interviews.

Stewart seemed like he knew more about what was in the book than Kolbert. And she kept bobbing her head.

Charlie Crist probably felt awkward there getting interviewed after Colbert did two sketches about gays. If you haven't seen the documentary "Outrage", he not only was he once a Republican, but an anti-gay closeted gay Republican.

Colbert's ironically homophobic jokes are getting really loving old. That's really my biggest problem with Colbert: If you're doing something ironically, you're still doing it.

This is a battle I've been having with a friend of mine. His habit of making ironic comments towards women and people of color is more consistent than many casual racists I encounter.

But like, that's like saying he is 'still' saying, I dunno, poor kids should be made into pills for Prescott Pharmaceuticals because I'm pretty sure he did that bit.

He's not 'still' being homophobic because he's the butt of the joke, not us. You're supposed to laugh at how stupid he is not laugh at how true his gay joke was.

Haven't ambassador posts always been given to political fundraisers? Granted, you should still know things about the country, but still.

I don't think it's a lot to ask that you've been to the place at least once, if even just a quick jaunt between the nomination and the confirmation hearing to pick up a souvenir.

Yes, or gently caress offs given to people you need out of your hair. Real diplomacy doesn't need a super trained ambassador, they're just the face. It's the least damming corruption to bring up because their jobs are meaningless as long as we have massive agencies doing this poo poo.
