"To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them."

"When I wrote the following pages, or rather the bulk of them, I lived alone, in the woods, a mile from any neighbor, in a house which I had built myself, on the shore of Walden Pond, in Concord, Massachusetts, and earned my living by the labor of my hands only." -> "Banged this out in MA."

It was a mistake to put the worst and dumbest motherfuckers alive in charge of everything

There is no oil crisis without a fudamental dependency on oil.

Nobody invades another country to steal their wind or solar power.

Dependency on oil is, by now, a policy choice of the ruling classes. We must break it and we must break them.

This movie turned out fine though right?

I just remember a lot of people celebrating at the end because everything turned out fine.

Trump appoints Erika Kirk to Air Force Academy board to continue Charlie's 'legacy' There are 16 seats on the board. Among them are Republican and Democratic lawmakers, as well as retired Air Force Col. Doug Nikolai.

How is she going to fit this in amidst her busy mourning her late husband schedule?

MLS’s Polymarket deal looks even worse after players’ gambling bans | Leander Schaerlaeckens With its credibility swaying in the wake of a betting scandal, the very last thing the league needed was to be in business with a prediction platform

Who could have possibly predicted this?

It's so cool and refreshing when you are in such a position of privilege that you can sit down with a fascist who is directly responsible for the suffering and death of countless humans and not get all upset about it.

God I hate when I'm just trying to enjoy an abnormally warm Saturday and end up throwing bombs at the mayor's house because I am a racist.
