Saying “My life sucks” is self-defeating and sad.
Saying “This isn’t the life Godzilla wants for me” is empowering, hilarious, and reminds you: Godzilla believes in you.

Kansas releases “Carry On Wayward Son” 49 years ago today — their breakthrough hit.
“I brought in a song I’d written at the last minute and said: ‘Guys, maybe you ought to listen to this,’” said Kerry Livgren. “When they heard it, everybody’s eyebrows raised. .. And of course it changed everything.

Why did not a single male reporter who were standing next to the president and the female reporter he called "piggy" say a word to the president about this and call him out then and there? Those who keep quiet in these moments are part of the problem.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Students at Olympic high school in charlotte, NC walkout to protest ICE defying the principal.
Young people are waking up to the injustices of this administration, they won’t tolerate being lied to for much longer. ICE isn’t here to protect. Young people need to realize how much power they hold!

The President insulted a Bloomberg reporter and defended Mohammed bin Salman this week. Leadership should uphold press freedom and accountability—not undermine them. What message does this send globally?

No offense to fans of the Elder Scrolls, but Fallout is a better game and it has one of the best new series on television and this would be a smart time to come out with FO 5
Fallout 4 came out in 2015 so the wait still isn't as long.
