Only S-tiers and esquires come out of Texas, boy. Which one are you?

The weird part is I'm trying to come up with a way to say "I'm glad your son, who raped my daughter, is joining the Supreme Court" without it sounding sarcastic.

Another perfect expression of hopeful outrage from A.R. Moxon. For a while I wanted to be something like him when I grew up, but I lack the capacity to remain serious long enough to get through something like this.

No shade intended, I just actually considered the structure of the song for the first time.

Was it easy or hard to be in James Brown's accompanying band? I just heard Super Bad today and it's mostly just them vamping basic funk riffs while he talks to himself and then he randomly asks them to do switch gears.

Hunnicutt works himself into a lather and runs around the house barking his head off. We're working on training him to associate fireworks with something more pleasant so they're not scary but it's a *long* road. He's just as bad with thunder.

My in-laws have opened their fairly firework-free apartment to us and Hunnicutt. He's on grandpa's bed sleeping like a baby even though he can hear a couple of them go off, as opposed to last night when various neighbor kids set them off for most of the day and made him lose his mind with terror.

But time is a sieve that ideally shakes out our best work, and Casablanca definitely is that for a lot of its cast.

No argument. Even the worst movie I've seen with him in it, the Barefoot Contessa, showcases just how electrically charismatic he was. He's only in the first and third acts and it's *noticeably* worse when he's not in it.

That's not unreasonable; the only people keeping his name alive are film nerds and people who still watch old Looney Tunes cartoons. If he hadn't been in Casablanca I doubt most people would remember his name.

(I don't know how attractive smoking is to kids these days, nor do I know how strongly the image of Humphrey Bogart using a cigarette to express his emotions resonates with the latest generation)

A tween who takes a long, exasperated drag off a cigarette as he interrupts his Fortnite game to teach his mom some critical thinking skills.

"I heard about this guy in the 1700s who ate his meals between two slices of bread so he could keep gambling and I really appreciated the efficiency of it and it's really improved my productivity! He was the 4th Earl of Sandwich, so I've taken to calling them 'sandwiches'."

They don't even trust most *actual* intelligence with their stuff. They probably saw what all of us did to Mario's face on the opening screen of Mario 64.

The rules exist to make the game work, not the other way around.

The rules are necessary to the game, but the rules are not the point.

The game is the point.

Which leads me to this question: what’s the game?

The blame all seems to want to pinpoint on the 2016 election and not, for example, the presidency of Ronald Reagan or the failure of Reconstruction.

The people we're talkong about thrive on the tension but can't be motivated to move toward justice alongside anyone whose values aren't in lockstep with theirs. They're unquestionably destructive but they aren't quite what Dr. King was talking about.
