Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

So basically the billionaires buy up the media and turn papers like @washingtonpost.com into a magazine for their own special interests. Which seem to be supporting a felon as president, makiing billionaires more billionairy and telling non-billionaires that they don't work hard enough
