Did boys take a separate SAT back in the day? Because I got 1580 on my first and I don't think anyone has ever suggested that I'm a godlike genius who should be charged with overhauling the government and global economy. On that or any other basis

Listen I know there is nothing more pathetic than grown ass adults who remember their SAT scores, but if the Mediocre Smart White Boy Class is now using their 1400 scores to claim god emperorship we may have to take some cringe for the team

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

It's beyond Obama. The bigger truth is about Black progress in America in the 20th/ 21st century-- Black advancement helps open the doors for so many other marginalized groups to rise. They want to kill the path of govt/educational/ career advancement for EVERYONE not white, straight, and male.

This is a wild, WILD situation. The President is at least allowing, licensing these emails though clearly not directing them. Meanwhile parts of the uniformed military are directing civilians within DOD to ignore them. Same at State and according to Dilanian FBI. But DOJ is saying do what the ...

It is a twisted combination of funny and frustrating that every Nazi dog whistle they did over the past decade plus, yes, including that OK symbol thing, got downplayed into oblivion by many of the people who feel like they are just all of the sudden heiling out of nowhere.

That's 9 tweets an hour (plus replies). This dude is allegedly running the world's 7th biggest company (by market cap) as well as like 6 other companies and completely overhauling the federal entire government. And high as a fucking kite the whole time.

This is noteworthy, but for me there's this one: The outside world mostly unfamiliar with mental illness is seeing a personality disorder on an extended manic streak. Keep an eye on him, these never last. And when he goes down? It's gonna be bad. Gonna hurt a lot of good people on the way down.

There is value in reading classic literature even if you find some concepts or words to be offensive, or if the author was a terrible person by modern standards. The popular idea found in popular books that reading bad things by bad writers makes bad people is unsupported by reality.

Oh, and "kill your darlings" is bad advice. Just taking out the lines you really like doesn't make your writing better. The phrase should be "don't let your darlings hold you back". If you end up at a point where a line you like is clashing with the work as a whole, that's when it needs to go
