Even if having “pronouns in her bio” were a bad thing, the shooter wasn’t looking at her bio, he was looking at her FUCKING FACE. DID SHE HAVE PRONOUNS ON HER FUCKING FACE, YOU NAZI FUCK?

1) administration has no doctrine, it is really about a single, mercurial, and half-awake man

If I did not say "this one goes to eleven", "hello Cleveland", "where the banshees live and they do live well", "their appeal has just become more selective", "who's in here? no one" etc many many times per week I would not be the person I am today.

Instead of feeling ragey and blasted by everything, just for a moment, I'm giving thanks for how Spinal Tap has shaped my vocabulary and world view.
