Youtube knife nerd videos are the best place to gather stage names. If I’m ever a NASCAR driver, you will know me as “Rust Magnacut”. If we only voted for the person who agreed with us o...

Why say he was “killed when he was hit by a car” when you could say he had an “auto immune deficiency”? A movie about class conflict amoungst merpeople called THE GILLED AGE. If you...

It’s so weird how our culture made “career politician” a bad thing. Well-intentioned rookies don’t know how to get anything done. People who’ve made it a career understand the levers of powe...
