I don't know if going to protests does any good in the long run. Sometimes it seems like I'm just howling into the void, or at least into an echo chamber.

You know, I am not really a religious person but lately I find myself hoping that there is a god, if only so I can go to sleep at night knowing every goose-stepping functionary of the Trump administration will eventually burn in hell.

In 1897 "the Reverend Electrolycist" Prescott Ford Jernegan claimed he could extract gold from seawater for pennies on the dollar. It was a classic something for nothing scam... So why did so many people fall for it?

There's a special place in hell for electrical engineers who design plugs that don't fit neatly into a standard power strip.

Remember, your drawing skills stopped where you last attempted to draw. That might be seven years old. Embrace it. It's fun to be a kid again.
Ed Emberley drawing books will give you important dragon drawing skills (and help break you of the notion that you *can't* draw.)

Look, I know you heretics are just trying to cram in your promos and sales in by EOY, but the 12 Days of Christmas are December 25 (Christmas) through January 6 (Epiphany). Not December 20 through December 31.

I don't know why people have trouble seeing it but the "problem with the MCU" is that ENDGAME was, y'know, an ending. A really satisfying ending. The sort that does not leave the audience wanting more.

On the contrary. Tiny Tim (who did NOT die) lives on yet, a wizened, hunched thing of dried skin and withered sinew, milky-eyed and toothless. His every human contact is long severed by the merciless jaws of Time that refuse only him, and he curses the name of Scrooge every night.
Merry Christmas!

Tiny Tim did die eventually though. We shouldn't read too much into that line.

Seriously. Why would anyone air this live instead of on a huge delay. He has said three new things in this giant bloviating mess. And it's all crap he should have saved for the State of the Union.
