But, it’s not acceptable to deny people service because you don’t like them or what they believe in and I think we all agree with that, even if I enjoy walking Sanders suffer a minor indignity.

Congress could change the President’s ability to levy tariffs, with appropriate legislation to take back their Constitutional authority (from what I’ve read, at least). A lot of Republicans in Congress seem unhappy with the restraints on trade, which makes sense given Republican priorities. It’s unlikely that they…

Hot take: The Matrix is technically excellent and enormous fun to watch, but it’s too shallow to be a great movie.

Tool use (including the making of tools) is a hallmark of human intelligence. Not that we’re the only creatures to do it, but we’re by far the best at it.

I don’t have any special thoughts about the “momma bear” phrase, one way or the other, but it was popularized by Sarah Palin. That might carry some associations, maybe.

I think another adult element is Judge Doom’s death scene, which is pretty horrific. (The ending but also the lead-in, where his legs are being crushed before the reveal.) I wouldn’t be surprised if it gave children nightmares.

Yeah, but check out Dad’s expression. “Honey, he’s a chip off the old block, isn’t he?”

Fuck people who make you feel like crap for being too thin.

I hope they’re still making fun little cars then.

I volunteer at the local humane society; I think “kennel” is a good description, though of course “cage” and “cell” are fine too.

Right, this is one of the things that hits me about most “follow your dreams” encouragement, especially shallow memes. It would be nice to forget about all my responsibilities, but that would make me a bad person (in my own view, as well as the view of others).

Superb.

Jason, you seem to have missed a category in your list of best (and worst) ways to name a car:
