Also, Pence is as big a monster as Trump, and I'm really not looking forward to the way people are going to treat a hypothetical Pence administration as some kind of return to normalcy.

I'm not 100% sure which would be worse, because like you said, Pence is also a monster. But, unlike Trump, he's a monster who would actually know how to get things done in office. Terrible and lovely things.

Didn't Playboy also publish science fiction, investigative journalism, and other such things back in the day, since Hefner knew that the the sort of people who would be pissed off by those stories wouldn't be reading Playboy in the first place?

Great writers, not just centerfolds, have filled the pages of Playboy

By Aaron Smith September 28, 2017: 10:46 AM ET

There's some truth to the old line that people read Playboy for the articles. Some of the most celebrated writers in American literature got their starts there.

Hugh Hefner, who died late Wednesday at age 91, was hardly the biggest name associated with his magazine. While it's most famous for celebrity centerfolds -- Marilyn Monroe was the first -- Playboy also featured Vladimir Nabokov, the author of "Lolita," and Ian Fleming, who created James Bond.

Many others whose words filled the spaces between nude photos became literary giants: Jack Kerouac, John Updike, Joyce Carol Oates, Joseph Heller, Margaret Atwood, Kurt Vonnegut, Truman Capote, Gabriel García Márquez, Haruki Murakami.

Norman Mailer wrote about the Rumble in the Jungle, the 1974 Ali-Foreman fight, in the pages of Playboy. Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" was serialized in Playboy after it was published in 1953.

"The Great Shark Hunt," a book by the late Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, originated with a 1974 article for the magazine about American anglers carousing in Cozumel.

I think it is best said, that the man himself and his attitude toward women was terrible, (as a 91 year old womanizer, I kind of am not surprised he lost me once he abandoned his family) the magazine however, has really changed an effected culture of american society and literature and did some really groundbreaking things. I guess, I was a 90s kid, so I never even read it personally.

This basically, in its heyday Playboy did publish a lot of great short stories and articles and helped many amazing authors get their start.

But on a personal level Hugh Hefner was a piece of poo poo.

Really, the thing that always pushed him over the edge personally was him abandoning his family, to start playboy. I guess that has to happen due to the nature of the magazine itself, but really, on a personal level, that is when I was like "eh, I don't personally like him." I recognize that he did good things and that people have multifaceted reasoning and attitudes, but to me that puts his other good things a taste of hypocrisy. Also I really feel like I am not the generation that actually subscribed to playboy, nor read it. :shrug:

Yes, but even in his documentary, he acknowledged how a incredibly lovely thing to do it was. Instead of learning from that experience , he instead created a system of cycling through partners and lovers until it became as space cadet omoly basically imprisoning women in his mansion and discarding them when they didn't fit his standards of both weight, sexual demands or other things. So even if it was 65 years ago, he continued to do the same thing over and over again.

Man, what are you even talking about? Lots of people care about the gross sexual stuff R Kelly does, just like they care about the horrible things Bill Cosby and Roman Polanski have done. Our society is just so full of rich men who do awful things to women and get away with it because they're wealthy that it's just too overwhelming to be mad at all of them all at the same time. They're everywhere and almost impossible to stop. Hell, one of those kinds of men is president right now.

What's the angle here?

"Those crafty messicans will always find a way to get in here!"

"The wall is a really dumb idea."

"in the future, personal jetpacks and helipacks will be ubiquitous"

I'm kinda not sure what the point is here and I don't know Gamble all that well enough to infer.
