being in my late thirties feels like I'm a third of the way into playing a really involved rpg and have only just got a sufficient handle on the game mechanics to realise all the ways I've been playing it wrong, only I can't restart or roll a new character and cross-classing late is punitive.

Are England fans okay? I was informed they can't win it all, and that would be devastating considering their current standing.

I am almost 31, and I probably said the same kind of statement when I was 6 and Pokémon hit the states. Love that Pokémon is still big with the kids. (I apologize if I made any geriatric millennials feel older than they are)

Mark Twain hated the Fourth of July. He was often invited to speak at Independence Day festivities. His audiences assumed that his reliably unpatriotic remarks were tongue-in-cheek jests. But he meant that shit. 1/9

Perhaps the world would improve if we all admitted how truly mediocre and ordinary we are.

I mean, they wouldn't impeach Trump for committing insurrection. You think Mitch is gonna be cool with letting the Senate kill his life's work right after he finally got what he wanted?

This coming week, temperatures in Death Valley will be the hottest in the recorded history of this planet. Beryl is the earliest category four storm in the history of Atlantic hurricane season. People, both now and in the future, need us to stave off fascism and build a world where they can live.

You forget, they're above the rabble. That's why Martha gets so mad when someone walks on the street in their neighborhoods.

We make jokes about how dystopia is a lot more boring in reality than all the books we had to read in high school made it out to be. I think what we're forgetting is that the part we're in now - where the characters might have stopped it & didn't - is the backstory of these books, not the story.
