Random Thoughts: Trump, MLKJr, and Editing The Last Jedi

I guess we should be grateful the government never decided people need electronics the same way it decided everyone needs college. If it did, a flat-screen TV would now cost $30,000—though even poor people would be able to get a loan for it.

For a fiction writer trying to kill both of someone’s parents off in a non-spectacular way, you really don’t have many options in the modern world than car crash. You really have to go go out of your way to get killed in a plane crash these days.

This has to be the craziest thing Trump has said since the last thing he said and probably won’t be outdone until the next thing he says.

Maybe Twitter should change the prompt from “What’s happening?” to “What do you think of what Trump just said?”

This is Rowdi. We adopted her 12 years ago this month. We were told she was 3 at the time. She’s hella old, but still likes walks and getting pet.

We got used to the idea she wasn’t going to be around much longer so long ago we’re no longer used to the idea.
It’s hard to believe she’s 15. She was full grown when we got her 12 years ago, so if that’s not her age, it can’t be off by much.

A lot of countries are awful, but I don’t think the conclusion should be to keep all the people stuck in those countries from coming here.

If they had some sort of filter removing any Tweets mentioning Trump or referencing him, Twitter could be a fun website.

Man, I use Stackoverflow all the time, but I still don’t have enough reputation to even upvote an answer. I’ve never really understood a good way to find questions I might know the answers to.
Occasionally, none of the found solutions work and I have to come up with my own. I guess I should pay attention when that happens and write out that answer.
And I never think to post a question as I don’t ever feel like I have the time to wait around for someone to answer it. But you can post questions and then answer your own when you find the solution.
Anyway, thanks for talking this out with me. It was very helpful.

Having a big news cycle every time Trump says something dumb and bad just isn’t sustainable. At some point we have to learn to just shrug and say, “That’s Trump for ya.”

Downloaded that Google app, but I can’t find the portrait match thing—just a bunch of dumb art.

Seems like the time is ripe for a dark, gritty reboot of Grape Ape.

Lots of people claim Trump is a racist, but he just called MLK Jr. a “great guy” who “probably would have loved my hotel.”

A lot of people want to speak for Martin Luther King Jr., but I think the only thing we can be certain about the positions he’d hold today would be that he’d agree that Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

“If you meet Hitler on the road, kill him.” -old Buddhist saying

Police are claiming that the hate crime I reported where someone cut up my hijab is a hoax and that I don’t even know what a hijab is.

If I can speak seriously, I know kids these days are saying it’s cool to report fake hate crimes, but that doesn’t make you cool. I think it’s drugs that make you cool. Or maybe sunglasses.
I don’t know. I was never cool.

The biggest obstacle to turning the reproductive act into a consequence-free pastime is a couple hundred millions years of evolution.

Maybe the concept of not treating women like objects and the culture of casual sex are opposed to each other and in that cognitive dissonance we get those rapey “male feminists.”
Of course, a simple explanation is just that claiming to be a feminist is a good pose for a predator.

Everyone, as usual, is right to make of the the MRAs, but you could you imagine how much tighter The Last Jedi would be if Rose and Holdo were taken out of it?
Rose could be taken out entirely. Holdo would need some of her plot points given to other characters. How awesome would it be if her sacrifice were given to Admiral Ackbar instead of basically killing him off screen?

I’m kind of wondering if they really could have programmed that ship to fly itself and Leia just tricked Holdo.
“Oh no. You have to stay aboard and fly it. Auto-pilot is not working because… I spilled coffee on it.”
“Can a droid–”
“No.”

I remember one of the most mind-blowing things to me as a kid was finding out there was this reoccurring character named Wedge in all three of the original Star Wars movies.

Cory Booker seems like a fun buffoon. I guess that makes him front-runner for our next president.

Donald Trump could easily put to a rest all questions about this physical and mental fitness by wrestling a bear, and we can only assume the reason he doesn’t is because he’s hiding something.
He’s probably hiding that he’s secretly in love with the White House’s official wrestling bear, but I bet Melania suspects.

    If they come wanting to be Americans rather than just wanting to bring all the things that made their countries the S***holes they are that would be fine.

    • Unfortunately many people do come here and bring the things that made their former home a sh*thole. For exhample, thousands of Puerto Ricans (before the hurricane) had moved to Florida to escape the mess the Democrats have made of the island’s economy, and what was one of the first things they did when they got to Florida…register as Democrats! Go figure.

    Bipartisanally: “That’s just Don being Joe”
