This uncouth galoot is going to make IKEA bookshelves more expensive. Look, I'm still salty about the Library of Alexandria burning down, I'll be mad about this for the rest of my life.

This is one of my favorite types of interactions on here. I've got a pretty good idea of what has happened, and I'm happy to skip it.

Wild to me that Ari doesn’t seem to know who is in the White House, or seem interested in having higher standards for the leader of the United States as he does for a TV host.

I point this out while thinking that nearly everything that evangelicals say about prophecy and the end times is total bunk, but given what their own belief system tells them, it blows my mind that they don’t think this guy is the Antichrist.

Continuing this “books I’ve read because of this terrible administration” thread. Picked this up as a result of what was happening in LA, finishing it as they’re about to restart this in DC.
