Remember, gang: I cannot be you, but anyone can be the mayor

Being the mayor is a state of mind

I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

This will be great for the World Cup next year. The 4th, 3rd, and 9th ranked countries will be playing and their fan bases are insane.

Travelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization. In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to ask applicants for a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children. Under the current system, applicants from visa waiver countries must enroll in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization program. They pay $40 and submit an email address, home address, phone number and emergency contact information. The authorization is good for two years.

Alice, looking mighty pissed at the mad hatter in the original Tenniel illustration Final shot of Polanski’s Repulsion, this young lady is NOT a fan of the dude she’s looking at, some people read it to mean her psychosis in the film is derived from sexual trauma to which, yeah, guess that makes sense

“So now, if I went in and made a major security issue out of it, everybody steps in. Administration steps in, there are no exclusive rights for anybody and nobody wins. So I made a decision and it was….wrong. It was a bad call, Ripley. A bad call.”

Tom waits has exactly three types of songs:

1: I love you Lucinda, I'll never leave you.

2: Lucinda left me and now all I love is this bottle of gin and this monkey who helps me do crimes.

3: We are all worm food. WORM. FOOD. (I miss you Lucinda)
