Trump and his ilk are making it partisan though.

Even now I still see so many people say, with every escalation, that nothing matters and there’s no point, or that the people who are aggressively advancing this escalation are at least “real” and “honest.” I’m not shaming those people (the ones who are not clearly operatives and grifters, anyway), as I’ve been there…

If you want to hold on to political power, rule 1 is to convince the masses that there’s no point in trying to get politically involved. (Surprise! There is, indeed, a point.) Unfortunately, the powerful have done a really good job of convincing people that at best they can get involved by voting once every couple of…

You know what would have been hilarious? If after Jared Leto’s character got the shit beaten out of him in ‘Fight Club’, he’d been played by Phoenix for the remainder of the film.

One can only hope he gets Boneitis. Again, one can only hope. 

I mean, have you seen property prices beyond the stars? Who can afford it?

I know the theaters are still closed, but that doesn’t mean you can just start projecting anywhere.

Found the ‘Murican, he doesn’t understand the difference between asylum seekers and tourists. Must be all that high quality public edumucation.

What’s really impressive is how stone-cold, hardcore not-into-Beck YOU are! You go, you hardcore not-into-Beck rebel!
