It was designed to destabilize the Middle East. They were too foolish to realize that may not go as they intended

A thousands of books in the palm of your hand and not having to manipulate a book, a problem with my bad arm, is something a print book can’t match. Every tech has advantages and disadvantages

My dad, trying to demonstrate the danger of the tyranny of the majority, said if only men voted, rape would be legal. Even as a kid I saw that was far beyond disgusting

We joked that the dog had a foot fetish because he wouldn’t stop licking our feet. My wife immediately got an ad for a pair of silicone feet with a … gap between them

She had no idea and clearly hadn’t done the work. It was incoherent BS. There wasn’t any way to give her points and maintain rigor. The professor and I met with her. He said he wouldn’t make it go away, but he’d mitigate it if she did well from here out. She took the lesson and got a C in the class.

Because the best marks believe in the scam so completely that they’ll build an identity around it

I gave a 6% to a student on an essay test when I was a TA. I showed it to the professor to see if I was being too harsh and he said he didn’t know what I gave her six points for. Then he started calling me Santa Claus.

The bears had a two score lead near the end, which they blew. The graph doesn’t seem to reflect that. The Bears blew it first, the Bengals blew it last

He told a story years ago about when he moved to the bullpen. The Braves asked what he’d like as his walk up song. He said he didn’t care, so they played Dancing Queen. One of my favorite baseball stories

My ex-wife and I ran into #janegoodall in a parking lot in the middle of Nebraska. I said, “oh, there’s Jane Goodall” without it registering. It was before we all carried cameras all the time, but she was very gracious.

Slavery, Jim Crow, and ghettoization were American ideology. Civil Rights protestors were called communist agitators

I was behind a car with stickers for all these great bands, Radiohead, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails. I eventually pulled alongside and it was some old person driving. It made no sense.

I got to interview Merritt about his hyperacusis a year or so ago. The sound of a drum kit put him in terrible pain, so he had to reinvent what he did. Hearing damage forced him to create his spare sound.

sat across from two people in a coffee shop this morning having this exact conversation non-ironically
Bryce Greene tweets: “Sad to see so many ‘leftists’ praising the ‘victory’ of a ‘mass movement’ for electoral reformist liberalism that will NEVER challenge the structure of capital!

What you should really do is join my 6 person book club where we are always right and know how to do REAL revolution”
