1.) The liminal is luminous, we only see because something can’t make its mind up if its particle or wave. Ambiguity is the vehicle of meaning.

2.) Parsing words like Parsifal, looking for meaning as if it were an attainable eternal grail when the truth lay in the friction of our search.

3.) There’s the illusion that these tweets go out to the world but it’s really just you reading. Yes, you. You right now. You’re reading this.

4.) The only reason to both perform folk rock and script pornography is to attain the coveted title “singer/schlongwriter”.

5.) If you’re with someone because you were computer-matched, is that your statistically-significant other?

6.) All you gotta do is give hate a seam to dig at. A loose thread to pull. We were trying to deny it once again but “e-mails” I guess.

7.) News orgs, why are you even selling your souls for presidential access anymore? What does it even “mean” for your product at this point?

9.) Is there a word for the regressives that want to frame the left as first and foremost for white men’s liberties? Paleo-liberals?

10.) “We shouldn’t have talked about bathrooms” is the same lie as “we should’ve taken the Dem candidate women & POC voted in away from them”.

11.) If the American left survives what Trump will bring down it’s gonna be a lot more female & a lot more brown. Good. Us white guys fucked up.

12.) There’s so much talk about old-school feminism versus intersectional feminism, maybe what we need is intersectional liberalism.

13.) The oppression of women, LGBTs, ethnic minorities can negatively effect people of privilege too. Helping them helps you, it’s all connected.

14.) Why Boonville doesn’t open up a huge outdoor haunted park every fall called “Booville” is beyond me.

15.) I hope that when the anthropologists find all the Coke cans, they will assume them religious artifacts and the churches maybe music houses.

16.) Every time I saw the Ultimate Warrior, I wanted his facepaint to turn into a bat and fly away.

17.) Kinda glad I’ll be either old or dead when driverless cars are a norm. I’d rather not be expected to be productive while in a moving car.

18.) On top of everything else, now the people pretending ugly Xmas sweaters are fun and claiming Die Hard as their fav Xmas movie.

19.) WHO IS THE ONE JERK WHO doesn’t WANT TO READ THE ARTICLE ON ONE PAGE? PUT EVERYTHING ALL ON ONE PAGE.
