Seriously. You think I would have stabbed you with it otherwise?
Hate it when people tell me “That’s a good point.” All my points are good. That’s why I make them.

These people simply think that human life is not worth living
Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/NmmAzhf

Deciding to read this Neoplatonically
To those who say, “God is simple,” I reply: the simpler the mind, the lower the IQ, and an “absolutely simple” mind is no mind at all.

This is nice, but the truth is that traditional (pre-musical theatre) opera is very very boring. The best way to help people enjoy it would be to put on “the best of opera” nights that just do the highlight songs and drop the terrible 3-hour plots in between them.

Breaking: Times critics think that shows enjoyed by college-educated Americans rock. Meanwhile, shows like NCIS, the Big Bang Theory, and Desparate Housewives drew over 20x as many viewers as an average Breaking Bad series. The Joe Millionaire finale drew 40x as many viewers.
