The comment thread here redefines the neologism "mediocore" to mean porn that is between soft- and hardcore. This must immediately be pressed into common usage. Forced, even.

I imagine it must be like an airplane edit of a Sasha Grey adult film.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he would "go nuts" if he hears complaints it was because Romney wasn't conservative enough.

"We're not losing 95 percent of African-Americans and two-thirds of Hispanics and voters under 30 because we're not being hard-ass enough," he said.

Most of the polls I “unskewed” were based on samples that generally included about five or six or seven percent more Democrats than Republicans, and I doubted and questioned the results of those polls, and then “unskewed” them based on my belief that a nearly equal percentage of Democrats and Republicans would turn out in the actual election this year. I was wrong on that assumption and those who predicted a turnout model of five or six percent in favor of Democrats were right. Likewise, the polling numbers they produced going on that assumption turned out to be right and my “unskewed” numbers were off the mark.

So he intentionally skewed his poll results and called them "unskewed."

Nice.

let i : t₀ → present, then

Sᵢ ≡ G ↔ G = DDD ∖ P
where S is the set of sexy people for time i
and is defined as the set of Geeks if and only if
Geeks are defined as the relative complement (or difference) of pants wearers removed from the set of large-breasted women.

"I went to see what that flash in the sky was about," recalled resident Marat Lobkovsky. "And then the window glass shattered, bouncing back on me. My beard was cut open, but not deep. They patched me up. It's OK now."

Obama needs to take the steps necessary to close the beard-patching gap.

I have learned to be content with what I have and not what I long for.

Supermassive black holes can reach the Eddington limit, where continuum radiation force defeats the otherwise irresistible gravitational attraction. (That sentence contains more band names and anime series subtitles than anything else I've ever written.)

in the real heavens, the light can be so intense that it shoves you back.

This is a good story I heard about Tinder in one of our focus groups with a guy who lived in a small town. He turned on Tinder. It showed the first girl. He swiped no. The second girl came up. He swiped no again. Then it said, that’s all the girls in his area. He freaked out and thought, “Oh shit! Can I go back?!” So many parts of that story sum up modern romance to me.

Man, if Hayden Christensen defeats Samuel L. Jackson in a fight in your movie, then you are filmmaking wrong.

We also would have accepted "anyone named Hayden".

G: I went to a strip club with my male in-laws and was told to expect lots of attention because I was wearing a belt. Evidently wearing a belt means you're loaded.
A: Did the strippers take your belt off and whip you with it? That's a go to stripper move, if I've ever seen one.
G: Much like 1st grade class pictures when I wore my favorite sweater and mom said I'd get lots of female attention, I did not get any female attention.
