Gas station attendants can listen to punk and like art too.

Stalin's uncle taught at MIT!

I keep wondering if I'm going to get numb to it, seeing his ugly face, hearing his terrible, stupid voice, watching him wave his teeny, tiny hands around like an infant on crack while he mindlessly tears everything I like about the country down out of petty greed and spite.

I was watching The Dead Zone the other day and I genuinely haven't been that scared by a Steven King story since I was a kid.

"No, officer, you're drunk! Also, you're not a cop! You're fake law! I'm the cop! Now give me your wallet!"

I just. I don't even know anymore.
