This is the type of thing Gandhi says to you right before nuking you off the map

Obviously, it's one of those umbrella things photographers use, just extra big.

The Persian people have lived in the vicinity of Iran for thousands of years, countless generations. They've been under the boot of many empires, but they've outlived them. I think they'll be around longer than the US.

This has absolutely nothing to do with being an American… And everything to do with being a human

I don’t know how to express this more clearly Every time you do a war I’m against it I’m against it in all forms I’m against from All sides I’m against the careless loss of life

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Not to defend what he said, but a reminder that "Allah" is the generic word referencing a/the deity, just like the English word "God." It's not really the "proper name" of a deity.

My brain sang this to the tune of Buffalo Soldier

(to the tune of Eleanor Rigby) Jonathan Majors (also to the tune of Eleanor Rigby) Fell through a window

Invincible showed that Stranger Things should've used Raining Blood instead of Master of Puppets. Just set the season a year later. Would've been perfect.

No, I demand that all sleeping dogs tell the Truth.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Just write anything. It literally doesn't have to make sense even to you. If you're any good at this, you will be the last person to ever know

"Do not answer fools according to their folly, lest you be a fool yourself. Answer fools according to their folly, lest they be wise in their own eyes." -Proverbs 26:4-5 NRSVUE Good luck out there.

Seriously it’s like there is a giant chunk of tech people who don’t understand that when you’ve learned how to write, you feel proud, you look forward to doing more of it, you cheerfully neglect your other work just so you can write more

Orclahoma will exist, even if I have to handwrite it in comp books.

Books should take forever to write. They should torture you your entire life and the things you could have said slightly better should haunt you forever. This is what art is for, transferring the discomfort of being human into something relatable to the other humans

I said this privately to friends but I like it well enough to thread it here: Palm Sunday is Jesus anticipating 2000 years of narrative theory and observing that any story can be both comic and tragic, any moment within any story can contain ambiguities too complex to allow for resolution,

A stealth game where you're a parent sneaking out of your toddler's bedroom after putting them to bed.

Watching Oklahoma governor ads makes me feel nauseous.

William Butler Yeats gazing in the direction of Bethlehem:

One thing I think a lot of folks don't know about Oklahoma is how the tribal nations look out for the broader community, not just their own nation.

“People’ll tell you Reel Big Fish isn’t spiritually in the genre but that’s wrong,”

What I'm saying is that if someone can make something like this and really triple down on the little tribalism element, it'll blow up. It's what they crave

I hate when you embark on a heroic adventure in the hopes of emerging transformed only to discover that the strength you were seeking was within you all along

The Afroman videos have such a Better Call Saul vibe to them.

I definitely overuse the 🤣😂 emoji, but there are actual tears running down my face.

very funny to see an athlete say jesus christ is the reason they were able to beat america

Not a Newsom fan, but he's correct here. Brains are super elastic and something "atypical" in one part can change things in other parts of the brain to extraordinary effect.

As someone who has encountered similar beings here in the US, I can't agree more. My friends who are Native have some wild stories, but even I (white, Christian) have had encounters. One scary, two confusing, they got the best of me every time.

regular reminder that people who live in republican governed states still deserve human fuckin rights

I know "Butlerian Jihad" has something to do with technology, but I always imagine it's about gender.
