Also, what kind of fucking bootlicker question was that? He might as well have ended it with, "…your Majesty?"

The previous term was political farce. This term feels actually dangerous. It feels like Augustus pacifying the Senate. Only if Augustus was a self-absorbed shitbag.

Some of them went so far as to say that the anti-scorpion people KILLED their friend.

I know some people have a lot of big feelings about their friend being dead but I didn't kill him. In fact, I voted for his safety. 4/4

When people again pointed out that having scorpions everywhere was dangerous, that maybe this man would not be dead were there not scorpions everywhere, this man's friends attacked them and called the anti-scorpion people unpatriotic & ungodly. 3/?

But this man would say that those people were fools and cowards, even that those people were the real danger. Then, one day the man was stung and killed by a scorpion. 2/?

There was a man who insisted that scorpions be allowed to fill the public streets. He was convinced that, while they were dangerous, they were a necessary danger. Meanwhile there were people saying that they didn't want scorpions everywhere and that scorpions were dangerous & not needed anymore.

Preach. It's really weird being the same age as old people.

I've been reading Doom Patrol since the 90's. Since HBO's live action adaptation, Cliff Steele--aka Robotman--definitely sounds like Brendan Fraser and always has. That's just the way it is.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

Citroen’s genius act of sabotage against the Nazis in World War II When the German army rolled into France in 1940, the boss of Citroen was never just going to just lie down and surrender

Resistance can take many forms. Maybe it's forgetting a name or address. Maybe it's giving wrong information. Maybe it's mis-filing (or even losing) a document. Maybe it's forgetting to return a phone call or going to a meeting.

This guy consistently posts songs with incredible lyrics mere hours after events unfurl. This was a good one.

I feel like this post needs context. Are you just lettting us know that they are a badass or does this mean something else?

One of the greatest television scenes of all time, perfectly depicting the age we live in.
