    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    It was felt up to 50 miles away. I think the news said 75 homes around the plant were leveled.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I typed this up in a fit of anger on Facebook, but it seems appropriate to post in the wake of everything:

    Congratulations, congress. Your stunning ineptitude never ceases to enrage me. Slightly expanded background checks with a myriad of loopholes was still too much, republicans? And a supposed "Immigration reform" bill that forces immigrants to jump through hoop after hoop, wait 10 years while they receive no federal benefits despite contributing and THEN and only then do they even get to begin the process of becoming a citizen? The rest of the civilized world is laughing at us, so I hope the money lining your pockets keeps you warm at night you miserable and pathetic pieces of shit.

    That West, Texas explosion is fucking crazy. Over 120 people injured, many are in serious and critical condition.

    I suspected that Onion "Jesus, This Week" article was an unwitting version of "What else could possibly go wrong?"

    Week isn't over yet. Come on, world, blow our minds on Saturday. Have North Korea nuke South Korea or something. Seriously, just jam it in and break it off.

    Milton Glaser doesn't joke around with important things:


    Although Harry Reid probably shouldn't be on there.

    I see Milton Glaser has made posters and prints of Lincoln in honor of him. So he hates guns, but supports a warmongering murderer. Right.

    That's throwing the baby out with the bathwater. People are capable of doing some good and some bad. It's reasonable to like the good without ignoring the bad.

    Oh, Barty. You're like the drunk uncle of Match-Cut. You don't show up very often, but when you do, it's always a riot.
