I think if you put your nose to the grindstone, you might just lose your nose

It’s not “good” per se, but the picture of the White House being partially demolished for a ballroom addition is *very funny*

Ambiguity is not a full bodied substitute for depth or sophistication of ideas.

Should’ve reposted this Friday. Imagine only losing by three while your quarterback throws four interceptions. Defense has to be hot. and the backup QB too

I listened to an audiobook that's adjacent to some things I like more and some things I like less and I hope its sequels come together in a compelling way

We have to stop this refusal to live in reality bullshit, using the mans own words to show what type of person he was isnt cosigning murder.
