WOW Crafting Master on Illidan, Prot Pal lifer, Boston fan(atic). Decurse your local tank!

I never bought the speculation that Trump was blackmailing Graham. I just assumed that Graham, like many politicians, had no moral compass, and simply junked his actual feelings for Trump when doing so brought him power and status. Either way, though, what a sad, harmful life he led.

Friends: no major paper had an obit ready for Sen Graham, because, why would you? What you’re seeing this morning are fast write-ups to relay the basic news. You’ll see more complete obituaries later today and tomorrow, all of which will mention the thing you’re angry they’re not mentioning.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

Dems are polling crazy high based on the flaming catastrophe that is Republican fascist rule, so primarying as many of the bad weak complicit Democrats in favor of good determined angry ones has rarely if ever been more crucial

Yes, I want to see most or perhaps all of these scumbags in prison. But I gotta be honest: I look at the Democratic Party and I don't see more than a handful of people with the integrity and fortitude to make that happen.

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software

I still cannot get over the absolute design failure of DH in Hearthstone. A core mechanic of a standard set is "your deck has no minions in it, get better stuff." THE ROGUE SIGNATURE CARD ADDS A MINION TO YOUR DECK
