Portman is such a coward that he schedules meet and greets etc at the very last possible minute, tries very hard to keep invites within conservative circles, and keeps a car running outside the venue in order to dodge any potentially unpleasant questions and to make it difficult for anyone to organize protests.

PSA: Video games do cause heightened aggression in people.

Man, that’s a surprise. I know a lot of people were predicting Tekken.

Democrats are “not going to take my job away from me.”

The sun is hard to get to. You have to kill all of the speed we naturally have from sitting on Earth. That and space travel in general is really expensive.
