Another portrait of Day. This one was actually drawn before the one of him in color. #appletv #foundationtvseries #leepace

Drew a picture of Day from Apple TV's Foundation, played by Lee Pace. #foundationtvseries #leepace #appletv

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

Countless people lose healthcare vs my 300th flight this year doesn't leave on time

Every once in awhile, I think of my favorite “…the fuck did you just say?” phraseology, which is from Homer’s Iliad, proving we have never, ever changed as a species, only less fancily inclined.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

The first time I saw the painting “Mt. Equinox, Winter” by Rockwell Kent was in the Art Institute of Chicago and I cried.
