They’re not there to provide security; they’re there to intimidate and terrorize certain people.

This pissed me right the fuck off.

I think, if you are lucky enough, and your parents live long enough, we all have to tell them “hush” on occasion.

It is disgusting to me, this criminalization of debt for poor people. We then levy fines, or put them in jail, thereby taking them away from their jobs (or the opportunity to find work). making them less able to pay.

A lot of these people don’t actually care if Russia held improper sway over the election. This is what they cared about: Retribution.

This dude and his unbuttoned shirt, bahaha. I’d probably hate-fuck him, tho. Ugh, I hate myself.

Sooo many great lines in this one:

Nah, this story is nice

We CAN have nice things. We DO have nice things. We GIVE OURSELVES nice things all the time.

This is a genuinely cool moment, no cynicism required. Reminds me of the Kenyan cross country skier Philip Boit finishing last in the 1o KM event in 1998. The winner, Bjorn Daehlie, told the officials to postpone the medal ceremony until Boit finished, and greeted him at the finish line. Boit later named one of his…
