My son is a Marine and I'm ashamed that he's part of that institution at the moment. What a bunch of absolute bullshit.

Is "defiant" really the word you want to use? As if the US is some kind of brave David to Venezuela's Goliath?

We're the bully, yo.

I think we should read it as, Sam is a predatory salesman and every time he opens his mouth he is doing predatory salesman stuff.

I think people should view Sam as a salesman rather than a prophet. Every time he is talking, he is selling.

My Michigan dogs are going to be upset.

Same. I’ve had it for two days and still don’t like it.

There are always caveats! I’m more of a biker than a walker!

My hot take: if your destination is under two miles, walk. Save gas. Reduce road congestion. Stay fit.

I have a theory that we'd waste a lot less food if our fridges were smaller. I think empty fridges make people anxious so they fill them and then waste what's there.

Do you suppose that's a gourmet something-or-other in the paper bag on the left-hand side.

Just curious: Are Americans' fridges huge compared to fridges everywhere else in the world?

It's a great use of urban vacant land. Flowers are a comparatively high income crop, good habitat for pollinators, often a safer thing to grow than food bc of contaminated soil in urban areas, make people happy, and growing them locally is much better for the environment than importing them.

Now on your congested flight, there will be some people who just worked out and therefore smell bad.

The planes will smell like dirty socks and b.o.

I don't think I've seen any other interview or article about it and lots of people have noted it. In my opinion, he's pretty passionate about his views at the moment.

Is there any other profession where you just get to say "look, we're exceptional and we don't really give a shit about the economic situation of other people and whenever we are in economic distress, it's the DUTY of taxpayers to bail us out."

I guess Wall Street bankers?

It’s funny bc a lot of people will say, “being anti Trump won’t get you elected.” Maybe that was true at some point in the last year, but i don’t think it’s true anymore. Show that you’re willing to fight? Recipe for success.

(Ps let’s all learn our civil rights history. It’s what can save us)
