So let it be written, so let it be done.

There’s evidence that actually writing something by hand better encodes it into longer term memory. Also, ballpoints suck. I love my fountain pen, and you WILL pry it out of my cold dead calloused hand.*

Sorry, no citation available. It’s a gut feeling I have that I posted on a Deadspin comment thread. This is not a thesis term paper. Note the part where I said “I think”.

I don’t think any reasonable person doubts that those things would be far less likely under Clinton.

Trust me, all it takes is spending time in these comments sections every day to get that idea. There are very loud voices that are dominating this side of politics, and conservatives are playing a far smaller role in that than you seem to think.

Spilling the bean on Cruz to his wife and that he father killed JFK. Oh he just loves to slam political opponents with fake news.

The death of American liberalism, in a classical norms-and-institutions sense- the lack of anyone who is both willing and able to advocate clearly and intelligently for classical liberal republican ideals - has to be one of the most remarkable and unremarked trends in American politics.

And in Germany’s political cartoons yesterday:

He really doesn’t get that it was the leadership of Nazi Germany who shut down the press (and every other critic), rather than the press and public criticizing the leadership.

I’m fascinated by the repeated claims that this will, if proven false, somehow undermine other legitimate scandals about Trump. The same way that decades of false Clinton scandals totally made Hillary utterly scandal-proof.

lol

So, he tells his people to be wary of hidden, tiny cameras because you don’t want to end up on the evening news.

“One last shot”? Oh, bubbie. That’s not even the last shot this week.

I love how Trump said foreign countries would respect us more than under the Obama administration yet in China right now:

when he railed on Twitter against his “crooked” unnamed opponents and “fake news.”
