The best thing they’ve got is to turn the government off and then back on? That doesn’t even work on my iPhone. #shutdown

I worked at CNN (before it became a horrible channel) for five years and I'm here to say that 24 hour news channels were a fucking mistake. No one needs access to news on TV all day, every day.

A SEAL team was authorized by Donald Trump, shots were fired and civilians were killed, and he doesn’t remember it? What a fucking amateur.

I'm rewatching Andor, which I believe to be the best Star Wars artwork ever made, and I strongly suggest you consider (re)watching it as well. It is relevant to our moment in too many ways to count—not just all the obvious ones, and not just with respect to the protagonists but the antagonists also.

The US government has the ability to protect its citizens from damaging storms, floods, and hurricanes, but instead chooses to spend that money padding billionaire’s bank accounts. Got it?

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.
