It’s almost like building thousands of “luxury” apartment buildings that all look the same doesn’t make housing more equitable.

Seriously, if my job turned around and said they’re really sorry, but they were “only” going to raise my salary by 7-9% every year, I’d throw a fucking party.

Meh. There’s 60M other people in the U.S. fighting for that mantle.

I can say this is really common for those of us with MS. It’s extremely weird experience and comes at you from a lot of directions that people can write off as something unimportant. I was fortunate enough when i was diagnosed that my symptoms were more physical and obvious, so my doctors got me into an MRI right away.

She looks like an extra in a failed Mirror’s Edge TV pilot.

Paul, am I to assume that you don’t  eat salad with a comb? Ooh-la-la, your Majesty!

Ian, either you go on the Titan Games right now and fist-fight The Rock, or you go full-David Blaine and prove to us that 72 hours trapped in a small metal box with no food, water, or toiletry is no big deal. You just emerge at the end and go straight to your day job. You have the training and strength, right? Do it.

I find it instructive that pretty much everything Schultz is talking about is what he’s against; not what he’s for. He seems to essentially be selling four years of stasis under the guise of a calm, smiling face. 

Oh God, that story about the person staring at the sun is nightmare fuel. 

I should be a billionaire.   I promise you people I’d do a lot more fun things than run for President.  

“I can’t think of anything that is a more quintessential expression of our democracy than providing the American people with a choice that doesn’t have to be binary between the Republican and the Democrat,” Schultz said.
