Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

I do not understand why the president is murdering Venezuelan citizens on the high seas in the name of keeping drugs out of the United States but then pardons a person convicted of conspiracy to i.port drugs into the United States. Seriously. Politics aside, I simply don't get it.

Isn't this what most people do every day? It's called "thinking" and it involves using one's intellect to examine one's experiences and make informed choices about what to do in the present and the future. It's almost indistinguishable from "magic."

Did you know that the Sun is about 109 times the diameter of the Earth? That means that in this image of the

that I took earlier today, the Earth would be about 13 pixels wide. I've put a fake Earth about halfway off the center to the left (marked with white lines).

No one cares about higher resolution videos. They care about GIFs. About bookmarks. Images in DMs. Bookmarks. Edits when there's no interaction. Bookmarks. Stop incremental improvements on things which don't need improving and start implementing things people actually ask for. Like bookmarks.

And this will make us all forget what a douchebag he was? Gwennie is not my idea of a "these are not the droids you're looking for" type distractor. They should just stop talking about it and let it go and people will forget. But now? It's going to be Nicole Kidman but for cheaters.

Let us never forget how we came together one day in 1975 as Evel Knievel jumped a Harley-Davidson XR-750 133 feet on October 25, 1975. He held the record for 19 years. Knievel jumped 14 buses followed after adding the additional bus as 13 was an unlucky number.
