The Coke Zero people are so needlessly smug. I don’t drink Diet Coke because I want Coca Cola with zero calories. I drink Diet Coke because there is something wrong with me; something deeply broken inside of me; something that will never truly be healed.

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.
