Could be Trump calling him for help. He's very sensitive to gas prices, probably because someone once told him they're correlated with popularity.

Guys constantly threatening violence against anyone who challenges them have left assholes unprepared for those who mean it and response appropriately when the fight is joined.

From a high school classmate. This is a Democrat. We count those.
I’m super excited for our choices for Texas Senator in North Texas! Talarico is a liberal nut job and Paxton is an absolute thief. I'll "waste" my vote by voting for someone else but at least I'll sleep at night and can look myself in the eye when I  brush my teeth.

this is because despite whatever faults you might find in some particular "wave" of feminism or however *annoying* or *cringe* you might find some feminists, the core of feminism is correct and feminist thought provides tools which make one's understanding of the world clearer and more accurate

Democrats warned that Trump would spend his term inventing criminal charges against his enemies. In reality, he's only done that to a few people and has mostly focused on killing criminal investigations into his allies and letting them out of jail. Where does he go for his apology?

Students playing the Ashoka game in my intro class today debated whether to ban Ajivikas. A Brahmin householder repeatedly exclaimed "They're nihilists!" It was challenging for me to keep my composure, as all I could think was "That sounds exhausting."

One of the funniest moments there was when someone complained to the manager that they were so upset that they wouldn't order from us anymore. He replied that, if they were ordering from us, they already had nowhere else to go.
