That was the most I laughed at something so gory. Stevens could read the phone book onscreen and I'd be riveted.

Hold back nothing, Kimmel. #Nextstar wants capitulation for their deals, and pretends it's about "values". Orange idiot can cry all he wants to, and #Sinclair can go suck his tiny mushroom.

Slowly hope is unburied
Fear fades and tears dry
Our twin towers did not die for you
They lived for us
Every life that fell with them
Still lives with us
Every hero who scrabbled up those stairs
Still lives with us
Hate cannot win because it never truly fights
Only love triumphs
imperfect, free
A photo of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers and the NYC skyline.
You ripped our dreams out of the sky
plunged it into our heart
A weapon made of our own design
We screamed until we could not breathe
smothered by ashen sorrow
Because hate cannot accept why it is not free
Why it cannot laugh at itself or wear what it pleases

This conversation counts as trauma.
Listening to you was a test of survival.
Enduring your insufferable misogyny was a good start.
Never thought to include a note when you've invented a locale, but not a bad idea. People do get precious about their areas, more so if they believe it's been misrepresented. The point that it's fictional is lost on them.
