1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

I will never forgive my body. It knows what it did.

This eventually goes for white Christians, too. The Catholics. The Orthodox. The Mormons. The liberal denominations. They inevitably turn on everyone.

Free Willy scene, but the whale is a submarine and the kid is a guy shooting a rocket launcher at it.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

One thing that I’ve come around on in comics is it used to seem corny and childish that a bunch of guys would call themselves the Legion of Doom and meet in an old castle where they’d be like ”hiss let us defeat the ideas of hope and love hiss” but that’s what they’re actually doing in real life lol

A small but violent minority terrifying their party’s congresspeople into unpopular and dangerous behavior. I wonder where Emmer got that idea.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

And also please try to remember that the conditions that lead to this conflict were created by the previous time this administration declared that it made historic peace deals in the Middle East.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Your tongue could not sense your sin, but your soul bears the mark. You might not pay for it in this life, but you certainly will in the next.

I don’t believe in God, and I don’t believe in Hell. But I do believe a God could come into existence just to create a Hell for him.

In my mind, this is Mycroft. Holmes and Watson just can’t understand a stable life.

I’m letting mine thrive and grow until they develop their own independence and crawl away.
