This feels relevant in the wake of recent events over the past couple of months. NRA Sets 1,000 Killed In School Shooting as Amount It would Take for Them to Reconsider much of anything. quote:The former member of the American Conservative Union's board of directors further qualified his statement, adding that the NRA's response to 1,000 or so kids being mowed down by a school shooter would more than likely vary based on the age of the students, the school's demographics, and the extenuating circumstances of the situation as a whole. quote:"And for argument's sake, let's say it's a situation where 999 people die and the 1,000th person is just the school shooter blowing his brains out," LaPierre continued. "Do you honestly expect me to take that seriously? To me, that seems more like an isolated incident that shouldn't really impact everyone's rights, you know?" quote:"At the end of the day, I want to make it very clear that the NRA is in absolutely no rush to change anything," LaPierre later said in a written statement. "One thousand dead kids would have very little impact on us. Now if 50,000 kids died in a school shooting that might be a different story. Something around 50,000 to 80,000 dead kids. You know what, forget that. Maybe something closer to 250,000. Yeah, 250,000 dead kids." gently caress me.

Looks like StarWipe is up. I feel like it's pretty close to ClickHole's territory. Obviously it's only day one, so maybe it'll find its specific voice in a few days.

Haha this is great: Emmys Looks That Stole The Show Celebrating A Vulgar, Illegitimate Mediumquote:Husband and wife duo—and dual nominees!—William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman made an excellent pair in their matching midnight blue ensembles, looking as committed to each other as they are to abandoning the legitimate theater. Still, it’s hard to fault them, given that today’s dullard audiences have no appreciation for genuinely compelling craftsmanship like that of the David Mamet plays where Macy and Huffman cut their teeth (even with the curse words). Instead, Macy was recognized for Shameless and Huffman for American Crime, two titles that describe television perfectly.
