The guy illegally building a ballroom and painting everything in his office gold is also telling you to not spend as much money because everything is more expensive.

Since it's a Presidential Record, we have to pay to preserve this.
Not that it's not appalling enough, but this is an official US Government post, paid for by our federal tax dollars.

I was ready to reply to a super shitty comment about gun laws with, "your fiancée is cute, she could do better than you" and that makes me think that maybe I should spend some time offline.
OR THAT SHITTY PEOPLE SHOULD FUCKING DIE ALONE.
I'll meditate on which approach is better.

It's a good thing I wasn't Peter Cetera because I absolutely would have named my first-born "Et".

Rewatched some Star Trek tonight.
Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human.
Every episode says the same thing in its own way:
‘Be curious. Be brave.
…Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”

We never hear about Bad King Wenceslas and I really think there's a story there.

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

I called someone a moron tonight because they don't believe that courts work and we should have death squads instead.
That kind of thinking is not just moronic and evil, it's short-sighted.
That said, I hope every Trump property is eventually seized and razed.

"Why do we have to pay for poor people's hospital bills?"
Because I don't want to step over dead bodies on my way to work.
"Why do I have to pay Social Security if I'm never going to see a penny of it?"
Because old people are gross and if they have money they'll leave me alone.

A certain segment of people lament about not being able to borrow a cup of sugar from their neighbor because the neighbor doesn't speak English.
Where's your rugged individualism? Pull yourself up by your sugary bootstraps! You should have planned better! What's next? You're also out of flour?

I'm going to get my SAG-AFTRA card but instead of my actual last name, I'm going to work under the name "Shawn Eggs".
Someone will eventually cast me in something with John Hamm, I just have to be patient.

I just heard Little Flame by Carsie Blanton and I wish I'd had a warning of the feelings it would stir up in me because how am I supposed to compartmentalize and serve the capitalist economy after that?

FCC: instead of going after the guys who hurt your boss' fee-fees, why not fine the networks for carrying him live? Everyone knows that in his advanced dementia, your boss can't help but swear and that language shouldn't be in when children can hear it.
And he's an adjudicated rapist!
