You genuinely would've been better prepared for how to deal with Trump by watching all the Lando scenes from Empire Strikes Back than by hiring the world's most expensive lawyers and asking them what to do

this would be in hot rod if they’d known

is this the one?

that’s exciting

funny on purpose?

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.

best I could do given that I don't really give that much of a shit and am also bad at this

ME *enjoying a pizza*: Mmm, just what the doctor ordered

DOCTOR: Do you have my pizza?

To understand your species I studied its primitive artwork. I scrutinized the antics of the cartoon cat and mouse and saw the deepest fears of your so-called humanity (fingers the handle of a comically oversized mallet)

One actor - four roles

one of my iron clad beliefs is that there are very few actual “schemes” in the world. instead, there are just a lot of stupid, venal people and quite a few of them hold positions of real power and authority
