I wouldn’t be surprised if it did prove to be at least partially true. The other problem with saying something like that is that he’s also implying by complaining about it that his books are written for men.

You are truly a follower of the golden rule. Thank you.

He is absolutely not better or much different than Danielle Steele and Nora Roberts.

WRT Sparks, for good reason.

Oh the FRANZEN thing! I can talk about serious author douchebaggery all day.

In these troubled times, it’s uplifting to know we can come together and shit on Nicholas Sparks at a moment’s notice.

We are not better than this. This process is exactly how good our country is right now.

This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard, right up there with JFK’s We choose to go to the Moon speech.

That’s the good shit right there.

I’m partial to, “Asked what he likes in his own genre, Sparks replies: ‘There are no authors in my genre. No one is doing what I do.’”

Tracked down the actual thing from The USA Today.

This reminds me of when Nicholas Sparks said he doesn’t write romance novels and that he was actually the natural successor to Hemingway, Shakespeare, and Euripides. (I’m 100% serious about this.)

Why would anyone care which books Northern State University choose for Common Read? Undergraduate enrollment is 1500 and it’s in freaking South Dakota. I get that it sucks when someone hates on your shit, but this seems like a dumb thing to make a stand on.

“but chose not to. . .” mostly because when it really comes down to it, people generally just don’t care about immigrants. To federal office holders, immigration reform has never been worth the political capital it would take to get it done. We are in this situation because no one cares enough (beyond hashtags).

1.) You don’t know anything about me.

Dude, you’re arguing that over half a million people should go back to a country they might not even remember. I don’t owe you rationality when you’re only offering cruelty. (But I do think it’s perfectly “rational” to call you an asshole for saying assholeish things.)

More people will talk about what Sonic looks like on Twitter than will see the movie.

FUUUUUUUUCK YOU

Again, fuck you.

DACA is going to die because the rules say that everything must be awful and evil all the time.
