The other day a woman I know told me she was going to see Trump speak in Indiana, PA and asked if I was going. I rolled my eyes. She insisted she was going to “see history”. When I asked what she meant, she smiled and asked how often you have a chance to witness an assassination. I suggested she’d be more likely to “see history” by going to a school on any random day. ---

What’s up with all the question marks in political texts that show up on my phone? Literally dozens and dozens of them. It’s more weird than annoying, as I don’t read them anyway. ---

There’s an honest-to-God Oscar statuette right there in the window. ---
