Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) speaks in favor of the war powers resolution. Quoting Madison, he reminds us that by lodging the power to initiate war in Congress, the Constitution adopted the wisdom of experience that β€œthe Executive branch of power is the most interested in war and most prone to it.”

I prefer the Roxy offshoots. That said, Avalon is a blueprint for New Romantics. So polished, so cool

Kafka understood that an even greater indignity than being turned into a giant insect was still being required to go to work afterward.

The only way Kash's girlfriend could have more authentic populist credentials is if her architect grandparent had designed a famous Manhattan restaurant

Just went on a tangent about how I'm tired of the 1953/1979 memeification of Iran-US relations, and that people should talk more about the Iran-Iraq War, reformists, post-9/11 on the current environment

But nah, I guess we just gotta keep saying 1953, cuz they sure as hell won't stop saying 1979

over and over they say it out loud: big ideas for the elite class, and only widget grunts for the working people.
