You can’t tell me that Don Jr and Eric won’t flinch a little on seeing this footage and learning their father is in fact capable of such unaffected fondness.

I hate how every nation is living down to its stereotype because I’m trained to look for complexity in things, yet the USA is run by a caricature of crony capitalism that Soviet propaganda would consider too unsubtle, Russia is run by a Bond villain, the UK is speedrunning Children of Men, etc.

A good way to understand the actions of everyone in this administration is to assume they started watching a gangster film and when they got to the “everything is going great now” montage in the middle of the movie they happily turned it off believing that was the ending

It's gauche to say this so I never do, but if you find this at all interesting it is very helpful to me if you RT, share, subscribe, whatever. Every bit helps at the moment.

Trying to explain daylight savings time to people who have never heard of it or experienced it and watching their attentive but incredulous facial expressions as I flounder, I realize I sound like either a sociopath or a pathological liar

I told my wife that kids online were daring each other “kind of like a Bloody Mary thing” to listen to this cursed song that a dead child molester recorded in the eighties and I asked her if she wanted to hear it and she wasn’t sure but she said yes
And she was so mad at me when it was “Thriller”

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.
