To add on top of all this, a freak who feels the need to exert extra revenge on everybody else after having grown up as the son of an electrician and a teacher (epitaph-worthy hardship). Divorced (presumably due to being an insufferable human) and looking 15 years older as par of the course.

Ezra Klein is really out here making it seem like whiteness is some intellectually crippling shit.

Having lived/worked in the US for almost as long as her (although not a single day with questionable immigration status), I believe my grasp of the English language and its pronunciation is, uhm, a little more advanced than this.
I might have also come up with a better speech (writer).

If stupidity/ignorance, even if performative, gave someone velocity, Maria Bartiromo, after asking this question, would have had to pump the brakes going uphill.

He probably was a TERRIBLE plumber, and definitely is an All-American idiot who will surely die an All-American idiot, perpetually incapable of reflecting, evolving, learning or listening.

I found his fictional demise in β€œDeutschland 83”, after the Maison de France bombing, mildly amusing.

I loved that my Desert Storm veteran neighbor Mitchel took his Harley out today, blasted Go-go on the system and honked at me riding by as I mowed the lawn.

Nobody knows if/when the world will come to its senses again, but I'd be very much into the idea of doing a trip from Nome, AK to Chukotka, RU, setting my watch 20 hours ahead after a short-ish flight, and not experiencing any touristy bullshit in the process.

Good to know that supporting and advancing artists with disabilities doesn’t reflect β€œthe nation's rich artistic heritage and creativity as prioritized by the President”.

Then, in 2007, I met my future spouse, who told me she once was hired to play cello for a New Yearβ€˜s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago, with trophy wives, Vegas show girls and the Grand Poobah ordering his new bride Melania to β€œget up and show what I done to ya” (she was preggers with Barron).

And that's how you move on from a conspiracy theorist.
To a drunk conspiracy theorist.

It's an experience when you encounter somebody who is incapable of ever feeling any embarrassment, but really should 90% of the time.

As a former (and still spiritual) neighbor of Germany who is very well aware of his own country’s past, I trust JD and Marco will get themselves new assholes ripped for villainously batting for the AfD.
May (God or) the German government find a fun way at some point.

Oh my god, a coddled guy in pastels, willing idiotic right wing art references into existence. Made me kinda remember some 90s German music writers and their splits between indie rock and philosophy, although they were much more charming and entertaining.

It's a daily contest for the "admin member with the most shortsighted / lazy / dimwitted / asinine / pedestrian / appalling (or a combination) take on an issue" award, and on some days it's a toss-up between several.
Like, I wonder what this guy's solution would be for fixing a paper jam.

My recent 53rd birthday has almost exactly halved my life between EU (AUT) and the US.
And before I draw my last breath, I hope that they will grow to be close and even better allies again under the guidance of future US leaders.

It was always clear Djokovic is a jerkwad with a messianic victim complex, the other one doesn’t know that testosterone is a steroid.

Related to this, I recall an interesting experience sharing Sir Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance with some of my friends after certain events in 2017, and being showered with rather irate "The US doesn't need to consider silly stuff like that" type reactions.

I admit that, prior to reentering after a trip to Austria at BWI last WED, I thought about that, in a country of 340,000,000, my last name is, by all indications, astoundingly unique. I am a greencard holder, and who knows, maybe Global Entry was a good thing for me to have that day.
