Any tool is a hand tool if you have big hands and enough hate in your heart

There is too little mockery in politics. Trump is, objectively, very ...VERY dumb.

The absurd life gets to me.

All Carolina folk are crazy for mayonnaise, mayonnaise is as ambrosia to them, the food of their tarheeled gods. Mayonnaise comforts them, causes the vowels to slide more musically along their slow tongues... - Tom Robbins

I don’t normally like Greek food but a tub of hubris is good with pretzel chips.

One does not imprison Voltaire

Liberals claim that DEI played no factor in the crash at Reagan National Airport. Then how come the Army aircraft was a Black Hawk helicopter and not a White Hawk helicopter? by Charlie Kirk

i think people who complain about the language police are, by and large, just cowards. say whatever you want! no one is going to stop you. but people may judge you or even, if you say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person, pop you in the mouth. but that’s life!

Maybe the OG Singularity was TGIF in the 90s...

NBA announcers are the best when excited. MLB announcers are the best when bored.

I have "Fozzymandias" stuck in my head and have absolutely no idea whatsoever to do with it. "Look upon my works, ye mighty, and wokka wokka"? That's nothing. Infuriating.

Broadly, one shouldn't trust hot people.

one of my iron clad beliefs is that there are very few actual “schemes” in the world. instead, there are just a lot of stupid, venal people and quite a few of them hold positions of real power and authority
