"It's really not a big deal at all. Routine. In the morning I grab my keys, phone, wallet, and my handgun."

I'm baffled by the assumptions on display in this controversy. No one has to do anything they don't want to do. If person X likes getting Y but doesn't like giving Y (or Z, or A or B or C), then that's what person X likes and doesn't like.

The film looks wonderful — but as with everything related to anime, the bad music soundtrack nearly stomps it flat.

Wondering if any lawyers have started considering whether anti-vaxxer behavior meets the legal definition of "depraved indifference."

He does want to reach out to the reader, to speak to the reader's own generosity and humanism. Kubrick is the antithesis of sentimental — not only is he cool…

"Sitting on a train, sipping wine is not what we are about."
You don't own the definition of all American commuters and you don't speak for me.

Bitch please, get a thicker skin.
