If it was intended as a power move, he certainly didn’t pull it off very well – he just sounds like a jerk who puts all politically-relevant brown girls in a mental .zip file.

The book Seveneves has a character that is clearly based on him who falls in love 18 months before the earth is predicted to be charred in a fiery rain of asteroids. Recommended reading.

You can go for Neil. I’m headed for Idris. Let’s meet back and discuss results.

I employ this tactic from time to time...the slow burn face I get never fails to make me giggle (on the inside).

Hot take: Orlando Bloom is the new Kate Hudson.
