There shouldn’t be such great shame with being stupid, but it’s harder to be magnanimous to someone being willfully stupid who sincerely thinks they’re smarter than you are.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

Robert Hanlon

Hit the Dance Floor

Is it strange that this song with a tropical beat reminds me of my honeymoon with ミA彡 in Iceland, which is the first place I ever heard it.

Master of Deflection

In Trump’s America™, it’s Hillary Clinton’s fault that Melania Trump’s speechwriters plagiarized Michelle Obama’s speech.

Unamazing

I can’t explain it, but I never really liked the word “amazing”. It’s even worse now that I can’t tell when people are using it to denote something wonderful vs. something bewilderingly awful.
