@BillionMagazine JESUS WEPT, have you read any Tolstoy? This is NOT inspiring! He was alluding to the ultimate futility of human endeavor in the face of entropy. No one reads Tolstoy to "get pumped", unless it's pumped full of vodka and ennui.

@BillionMagazine He did most of his writing in an illegal garret apartment above a grocery, smoking dope and playing guitar. He died in relative poverty, and did not pity himself that lot. Juxtaposing Gibrahn in this way suggests a poverty for which no stock sale can remedy.

I found a quote @BillionMagazine should pair with a yacht photo:
“You reach that jumping-off point where you begin to wonder if actually doing it will give you something beyond just reading about it or looking at it. Then you have to do it". Guess who?

@BillionMagazine He bought a plane and sportscar but is still wearing the same tie?

@CeoLawrence Like Yoda you must phrase to seem wise in vacuous self-quotes. Once you turn to the self congratulatory tautology, forever dominate your timeline it shall.

@BillionMagazine You embody the worst of Nouveau-riche: cruel, ignorant, tasteless. Prior generations of avaricious monsters at least had the decency to crank out a good book now and then.

@johnbates207 @BillionMagazine Yes, that's the real problem here.

@Eugene_Scott @BillionMagazine From beyond the grave he cannot believe this shit.

@JasonFischer77 Next time you're hitting Tomahawk, give us a call! That's our hood, to!

@CraveTVHelp How about a "we're down right now" announcement?

@Ninja Take that positivity straight to your congressional representatives. This isn't some metaphysical struggle between dark and light: it's a real problem that demands real solutions and real action. You have a platform and an opportunity. Step up.

@jumblejim @Mark_Sheppard I was volunteering for Obama '08 when I saw the footage of him correcting the racist comments from his own crowd. He did it again and again. I disagreed with his voting record and policy platform, but that display of integrity is stuck in my head forever.

@BillOReilly Look at this thread of people catcalling a man walking his final mile, a crowd wishing death and humiliation on he who not long ago was their brightest star. That's what you've fed and nurtured, @BillOReilly : cruel and jeering mob with loyalty shorter than their attention span.

Remember when Maverick @SenJohnMcCain went against the *entire @GOP* and cast his deciding 👎🏼 vote to save the #ACA?🇺🇸

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

Undoubtedly one of the most memorable John McCain clips.

Corporate lobbyists have run the show in Washington for way too long. I’ve got a new plan to end lobbying as we know it. #EndCorruptionNow
