Oh PLEASE teach me, then, how I can be less righteous. That’s clearly something you’re good at.

A prime example of an article where Trump didn’t need to be mentioned, certainly not in the first paragraph, but he was anyway. That’ll show him, I guess.

Everyone’s a hero or a villain now.

From now on, you and I are enemies.

Love. this. movie. If you don’t weep openly at some point during the last 5 minutes, you have a stone heart and a stone head and a fascination with trivia and your name is Olmec.

We don’t HAVE our own winter holiday. We have a fairly minor festival that happens to fall on the calendar around the same time as Christmas.

An obvious point is that the level of nuance people are going to introduce to this conversation usually depends on a) the closeness of their relationship with the person, and b) their affection for the person, pre-allegations.

More of this. Man oh man, I must be really out of the loop.

“It’s a series about lavishly presented landscapes, but most of the time even the buildings you climb feel like no more than set dressing.”

Aw man, I dunno. I’ve been burned by this series a few times too many.

What, you mean like network news or organized religion or political machines on the right AND left?
