I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

“Measles at Disneyland” is simultaneously a news story, a metaphor for current events, and a good idea for an 80s Orange County hardcore band.

One of the things I love most about the Winter Olympics is that we just cannot win the most medals there. It is good for us to not win all the medals sometimes. There are so many good places that are not us.

Bill Clinton testified under oath about Monica Lewinsky. He will now testify under oath about Epstein. There is no excuse for Donald Trump doing that too. Either you want to learn the truth about Epstein’s crimes & who else was involved or you don’t.

When Chuck Tingle titles have ruined a normal word use for you: "featuring that epic John Romita cover of Spider-Man trapped in a sewer getting pounded by a stream of water" I mean I knew the cover meant but... well... I read it like a Tingle title and... VERY different story.

Democrats should say if they take Congress they will investigate Elon Musks pedophile-enabling service because Republicans won’t. They should also say they will review all his SpaceX contracts so the American taxpayers aren’t financing the creation of kiddie porn.
