my Roman Empire is that in two weeks we’ll have a blood red moon eclipse on Ides of March Eve

I don’t want to see Anora because he didn’t credit Kitana Kiki Rodriguez and Mya Taylor as writers for Tangerine. Without them, there is no movie.

I read all of Rand’s books while I was a homeless teenager, living in a cave, because I found the Ayn Rand Institute’s college scholarship application. I wrote an essay in my cave about how altruism was my true calling. Needless to say, I didn’t get the scholarship

Love this one! I wrote an essay on the ethics of not disclosing this on food labels in middle school in the 90s!

Elon having college-age kids on DOGE is so much like how the cult I grew up in, the "Moonies" mostly recruited on college campuses.

Young & impressionable, they don't yet have a wealth of career experience to compare this job to. So they'll do their best to prove themselves without question.
