A billionaire could make real Planeteer rings, but they don't. This is how you know there are no good billionaires.

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

the "good guys" famously have to tell everyone they're the good guys, several times per statement.

It's time for the Massachusetts legislature to pass An Act Regarding Free Expression (H.3594/S.2328). Protect librarians + educators from harassment; and protects authors, creators, booksellers, + publishers from economic harm due to censorship. #MassFreedomToRead link in bio. #BannedBooksWeek
IT's BANNED BOOKS WEEK! It's time for the MA Legislature to pass a Freedom to Read bill that protests librarians + educators from harassment; and protects authors, creators, booksellers, + publishers from economic harm due to censorship. I support An Act Regarding Free Expression (H. 3594/S. 2328). #MassFreedomToRead Red White and Blue MassFreedomtoRead Logo with a patriot holding an open book and the text BANNED BOOKS WEEK written in black on a yellow banner across a red book.

Everybody takes pot shots at Soros. Even the show Homeland did. There was a bomb threat against his house uptown.

I worked for him for five years. It’s nothing like antisemitic propaganda makes it sound.

His funding uplifts and empowers people with real needs and that scares leaders everywhere.

The only point of the Sadaukar Hegseth is building for Trump is domestic intimidation. There’s no plausible battlefield elsewhere on earth where soldier-fanatics who “kill people and break things” are useful.

A brutish force of troops stripped of subtlety and judgment is only good for one thing.

Every time the subject of Jimmy Fallon’s spinelessness comes up, I think of this passage from Tina Fey’s Bossypants
66 Amy Poehler was new to SNL and we were all crowded into the seventeenth-floor writers' room, waiting for the Wednesday night read-through to start.
[...] Amy was in the middle of some such nonsense with Seth Meyers across the table, and she did something vulgar as a joke. I can't remember what it was exactly, except it was dirty and loud and
"unladylike"
Jimmy Fallon [...] turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said, "Stop that!
It's not cute! I don't like it." Amy dropped what she was doing, went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. "I don't fucking care if you like it." Jimmy was visibly startled. Amy went right back to enjoying her ridiculous bit.
With that exchange, a cosmic shift took place. Amy made it clear that she wasn't there to be cute. She wasn't there to play wives and girlfriends in the boys' scenes.
She was there to do what she wanted to do and she did not fucking care if you like it.

Tina Fey, Bossypants

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”
