This should also be immortalized in a statue, to get at what Wall Street really is.

Can you imagine if right-wing politicians treated smalltown citizens the way they treat scientists?

This is a horrible pitch-black character comedy I would watch to engage the darkest parts of myself.

For real. It’s an essential item for interacting with society, especially doing the boot-strapping and job-searching these same politicians argue is so important for the poors.

For whatever reason, I think this is as much a truism as exists: You can tell a lot about people by whether they think poor should have phones.

I agree, but it’s in the same sense that someone’s favorite book being To Kill a Mockingbird says a lot about them.

Never quite understood the love for this one. I get the plot, but I don’t find it very affecting, nor weird enough to be disconcerting (like, it’s no Lynch, you know?).

The speed with which Trump and his cronies have claimed “fake news” for their own ends is the kind of massively effective rhetorical bullshit the left needs to aspire to.

Millennial here who texts in complete sentences, capitals and periods included.

I will never give up the period.

This is the best thing I’m going to read all day.

Of course he wanted a portrait of Andrew Jackson.
