Travel ban, yawn. He’s playing the greatest hits like Styx at the tribal casinos.

Trying a different variant cover as Kickstarter landing page thumbnail. We're calling the fake poster a tribute to Crown International Pictures. Too obscure a reference? Issue #5 campaign here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/dri...

Fox News just told us today's market crash is "a rebirth of the American spirit" because we have been in "a depression of purpose" by making so much money. #UpIsDownBlackIsWhite.

I turned on the hearing late and of course the hour was still early, so didn’t line up the shot glasses to play the Hi Bob game whenever a GOP sympathizer said ‘But her emails’

A friend who tried to go to the AOC and Bernie rally today simply couldn’t park. Not even at the nearby shopping center. Hope this is reflected in coverage on @maddow.msnbc.com etc - especially if venue doesn’t look full.

Felt that outrage first term after they said same of Obama, but now I wish he would golf seven days a week.

Once read that in Oceans 11, Soderbergh would script note ‘SBOT’ next to lines of dialogue - ‘Something better out there.’
