We live in a culture that claims to be obsessed with kindness. This is a lie. We are obsessed with a counterfeit. We are obsessed with the counterfeit because the counterfeit is always easy. It always makes us feel superior. It's comfortable. There are no sharp edges. There is

Crash the economy. Reinflate the economy but only with tech stocks. Now tell them the robots will make them all jobless and obsolete but also insanely rich.

More and more, people won't contemplate what seem to be obvious facts about our weird modern world. I'm thinking about posting one of these each day through the holidays, anyone into this, or maybe want to join in?

We actually don't know if every country exposed to nukes goes on to produce Anime or not.

Got paid to write a script for an indie Bollywood thing (it never went anyplace). One thing I learned is, you gotta put a scene in where someone gets slapped. I don't think all the gentle parenting folks are prepared for infinite immigration. https://t.co/4kqe0h0rHU

If every tribe but your own is fully committed to tribal politics then you have two choices: Play tribal politics. Or Perish. It's wrong to put people in this position, and it's extremely stupid to do it to Anglo Saxons.

I don't doubt George is a learned, decent man who means well. But these classical liberals fight the last war... venerating a Schoolhouse Rock civic religion with nostalgia. My primary loyalties as a patriotic American are to my land & my people-- 'patria' = fatherland-- not any

Will never understand the point of making slightly more realistic animated remakes when the original is fine.

This is going to work extremely well now, because it's a goof. The secret to talking to women (or any stranger, really) is to have zero ulterior motives at all.

When you wake up and it looks like the world is going to crap at light speed... And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, âAll authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father

Iâm convinced that 99% of a successful marriage is just genuinely enjoying each otherâs company. People make these long lists of traits they want to find in a partner, but so much of life just comes down to being kind and pleasant to be around.
