Jess Gill: says anything

Chorus: Under the sea, under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We're what the land folks love to cook
Under the sea we're off the hook
We got no troubles life is the bubbles
Under the sea, under the sea

Every time I read a puff piece that describes Alex Karp as a democrat-leaning devotee of democracy I look for the follow-up questions about the delusional totalitarian vision promoted by his business partner, mentor, and dear friend, Peter Thiel.

I never find them.

Ivan Drago had only 9 lines in Rocky IV. All seem applicable:

"You will lose."
"I cannot be defeated."
"I defeat all men."
"Soon I defeat real champion."
"If he dies, he dies."
"I must break you."
"He's not a human. He's like a piece of iron."
"I fight to win, for me. For me!"
"Until the end."

If you’re going to animate a racist no. 2 pencil why choose one that’s been gnawed upon?

Dartmouth isn’t present here either. I am still immensely disappointed in every alumni body for not calling for Sian Beilock’s dismissal.

She called in a violent police response on peaceful student protesters faster than other college president, and hired a Trump GC to show compliance in advance.

Not the main point, but The Hollywood Reporter and James Hibberd are just blatantly crossing into advocacy over journalism here, especially by ending on that drawn out Sting quote from 2009.

Shame on them.
