Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

one of the things I always loved about the best children’s & YA literature was it never shied away from saying love was not just important, it was central to defeating evil

in moments of adult cynicism and hopelessness I’ve thought that was too simple, too naive

I guess treating malaria with that quinine

Seems like a misunderstanding about the nature of tonic and herbaceous spirits on his part.

Yaaaasssss

The more time he spends in the gym the safer we all are.

Is that his drink of choice? Seems more like a vodka-in-a-waterbottle kinda guy.

Who's going to ask him what the mission is?

Call them weak to their faces.

Then the question is "why are you willing to cede constitutionally-granted Congressional powers on oversight and budgets to the executive branch?"

How long before Trump turns on him for getting too much attention?

So he could look "tough" like the fictitious deal maker he played on tv

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later

Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

this. for the love of god, this. i’ve been begging folks to understand this for years.

every day, we make so many decisions that affect others. i’m not going to pretend i get it right even half the time, but i do understand why i should do the dishes if i want to save the world.

You should think about grad school in the Netherlands

The article says 300 mg of calcium seems to be the key no matter how you get it, so get eating that ice cream!

WAR SHOULD NOT BE TREATED AS A SPORT IN WHICH WE WAVE OUR FLAGS AND ROOT FOR OUR TEAM.
