Day 10: Sweep

Hot Take: Fantasia 2000 is no worse than the original. It’s also the second 4/10 Disney movie where Bette Midler is the best part.

Have you tried new game plus for Wuchang? I liked the first playthrough fine but found it disappointing in a lot of ways, and I hear new game plus is better.

They’re kind of like pets. Completely impractical and annoying, but once you have them, it hurts too much to get rid of them.

Trump is a fringe maniac, but people believe his bullshit because he believes his own bullshit.

The average high-ranking Democrat doesn’t want to be a thought leader. They just want to appease everyone. They’re not hated for what they believe because they don’t believe anything.

Kat gets it.

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to.

Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

You don’t fix the world with guns. You fix it with organization.

Donald Trump desperately wants people to think otherwise.

Donald Trump's new security directive labels anti-capitalist beliefs as a predictor of political violence.

The irony: left-wing structural analysis actually pushes people away from lone-wolf attacks and toward mass organizing for change.
