Nursing home? They can figure that out on their own or they can eat shit. I’m not doing anything for those fucking Nazis anymore.

I voted for a similar measure in Colorado!

No, they mean closeted gay men. Because that’s how they think gay guys should be when they’re normal.

Yeah, I didn’t know people were just giving out basic necessities. I’ve been allowing people to exploit my labor for nothing this whole time?

And that being gay was bad. It was not conveyed well in our media, and our culture was full of negative connotations with non-heterosexuality. I feel you on this one. Bi people exist, and we’re everywhere!

When a conservative asks you for sources, they do so in bad faith. They don’t care about engaging with reality. It’s a deflection tactic.

Well I don’t know that I’d call Mike Pence a chad…

Mostly I don’t disagree with this assessment, but by now we’re talking about the boy who cried wolf. Republicans have been very outspoken with their “groomer” talk so many provably false times, meanwhile Trump and his cronies have committed a number of sex crimes and/or shown a lack of remorse for the victims thereof that it’s hard for them to come off as credible with this stuff anymore. I do miss Al Franken, though.

They’re just both narcissists.

By being kept away from interview and TV appearances and such.

The character Pie’o’pah from Clive Barker’s Imajica has a sort of “third” genitalia which can both penetrate and be penetrated. Through the story, the main character is kind of magically seduced by this, initially revolted, but it becomes a point of personal growth which helps unlock his true potential. It’s a really cool and weird (and long) story with some pretty ahead-of-its time pontification on trans and non-binary identities.

Look around to see if I can rummage up the necessary implements to brew a pot of tea.

That gum I like did come back in style…

Well, see… The president he supports withholds funding unless the municipalities affected by disasters pass a purity test, so he assumes the president he doesn’t support will as well.

You like em tongue-in-cheek? You might try Chopping Mall (1986). Shopping mall management invests in a killer robot security system. A group of horny teens decides to spend the night there, but a lightning storm takes out the main killer robot controller! It’s funny, a little gory, has topless men and women, and it’s hilarious. A spook night favorite of mine.

Grindr… That’s that app for finding hot hoagies in my area?

half the marines general population are bi and closeted

Isn’t the core of jazz improvisation and breaking the “rules” of music? If that’s what they’re doing, why would we disqualify it as jazz? A lot of folks had this opinion of Miles Davis doing jazz fusion in the 70s on Bitches Brew and Live/Evil with his squeaky, borderline abusive trumpeting, or of Herbie Hancock doing weird space synth stuff on Sextant and funk fusion on Headhunters. I don’t see how what you’re saying isn’t just gatekeeping that’s not really in the spirit of jazz.

Awful take. Last weekend I saw Mike Dillon with Phunkadelick playing with Brian Haas on the Rhodes organ. They played a wild punk-jazz show that is one of the best shows I’ve ever attended. There was a mosh pit at a jazz concert where a primary instrument was a vibraphone.

In recent years, I’ve greatly enjoyed things like AKU!'s album Blind Fury (drum/trumpet/baritone sax trio) and Ambrose Akinmusire’s Origami Harvest. A lot of modern jazz is blending in electronic influences, like Sungazer. Maybe you don’t like these things, but I can’t imagine calling jazz dead.
