I make a tiny fraction of what Mark Zuckerberg makes, and yet I manage to dress better than he does. Telling me that techbros dress like little boys does not move me to go buy a baseball cap and wear it backwards in my car.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli

None of this is correct. Good thing we have a steady hand on ...

None of this is correct. Good thing we have a steady hand on "nuclear"

In 1987, I almost got arrested - for taking a picture. Look in the middle of this group of officers and you'll see a general pointing at me. "Stop that guy."
I pulled the film from my cam, told my Mom to put it in her bra, and to keep walking, and if I didn't catch up, to call the consulate.

Sigh. Here we go again. So once more, to add to the "myths that do not die," the older voters who are the mainstay of Trump's support were educated during the supposed golden age of public education. People my age, who went to good public schools and cheap colleges. /1
