It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Worst? Not sure about that. Not good, agreed, but even after V, they went on to make VI. Nemesis, however, was bad enough to kill the movie franchise until they decided to just reboot it.

One of my all-time favorites! 😄

"An unpleasant truth is always better than a pleasant fiction."

Is it, though? Is it really? 🤔

I'm looking high and low, don't know where to go

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

stopping the flow of HIV drugs to poor countries and demanding that foreign doctors stop distributing the meds already sitting in their clinics is so evil it is hard to wrap my head around. one day when when this is all history i will struggle to forgive anyone who voted for him
