Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."
i just canât imagine seeing the things weâve seen happening in Palestine and being like well i have to play Shape of You so this is none of my business
I hate when youâre having a conversation with someone and they pull out their phone mid-convo to answer a message or something and you keep talking like normal, but then you ask them a question and they donât answer at all. Zero reaction or recognition on their face. Like 8 seconds of pure silence will pass and they wonât even notice. Itâs like they dropped into another universe where suddenly you donât exist. They donât even hear you. And I always think: wow they donât even know they do this? I hope I donât do this?
Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature heâs destroying is this God heâs worshiping. - Hubert Reeves
PSA!! I ordered a Zinus mattress and had a full body allergic reaction the first night I slept on it. I've been back and forth with customer service for 5 days now and they've been absolutely useless so now I'm just fully putting them on blast. Do not buy from @zinusUSA !!! đ
âItâs not fair that teachers get summers off!â
Then whatâs stopping you? Why arenât you a teacher? Is it the pay? The long hours? The constant disrespect? Or being expected to be a teacher, counsellor, and parent all at once? All of that could be yours.
Conservatives are not well represented in academia because conservatism is, for the most part, the ideology of the incurious. Abortion is bad because the Bible said so. Immigrants are bad because Fox News said so. Capitalism is good because Reagan said so
The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply. pass it along and live mĂĄs comrade
