I thought I was going to love Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere because of my deep knowledge and long personal experience with Bruce Springsteen’s music. I was wrong. I love it because of my deep knowledge and long personal experience with the creative process and major depressive disorder.

The Diplomat really hits different now that the east wing of the White House is gone.

It's taken me three days to finish PLAY DIRTY and I'm still not finished... and I'm quite a big fan of Shane Black's stuff. It's possibly the Marky Mark factor, who's to say?

AI is definitely not a virgin because we all get fucked by it every day.

My 9 year old and his classmates have started using “that’s AI” to mean “I don’t believe you.”

Me: we’re having dinosaur meat for dinner

Pardon my ignorance but isn’t Kash Patel lacking a key qualification to be a white supremacist?

I speak from personal experience when I say that sometimes children are better off when their racist and misogynist fathers are dead.

Talent isn't rare. Throw an apple & you hit someone with talent. Perseverance? rare. Work ethic? exceedingly rare; the willingness to grind. Being able to endure the scorn, rejection & privation a life in the arts dooms you to in the United States is unicorn-scarce. But talent? Talent is everywhere.

So if a group of men -- all of them wearing masks, with no uniforms or badges visible, driving unmarked cars -- approach anyone on the streets of DC, they're just supposed to submit?

It only takes one thing to make you a real writer: insecurity.

Dems confused about why they're polling lower than GOPs? Think of it this way: one side is vile, rabid vermin - the other side let them in the house, feeds them, doesn't discipline them, dotes on them, responds to their needs, often takes their side in territorial disputes, asks you for $5.00 often.

The Humanities Really Do Produce a Profit – The Humanities Institute

“Univ. of Illinois report shows that a large humanities department like English produces substantial net profit; units like engineering and agriculture run at a loss. The widely respected Delaware Study of Instructional Costs and Productivity shows the same pattern.” /7 thi.ucsc.edu/the-humaniti...
