Trenchant Thoughts #2

  • I was very saddened by the death of Bre Payton. I enjoyed her writing and was very impressed when I learned how young she was and how successful she was at such a tender age. Tragic.
  • This tweet by the President is probably the single most reprehensible thing I’ve ever read. Granted these kids were probably in a bad way when they arrived in custody, but still…
  • The perfect fast food place has:
    • Good food
    • WiFi
    • A Coke FreeStyle machine
    • A clean bathroom.
    • “Outhouse” garbage cans (The ones where you just have to drop your garbage in and don’t have touch anything)
    • Warmth. Seriously, it’s like a meat locker in half these places, even in the winter.
  • For the record, the Wendy’s I’m currently sitting in is close, except for the fact that they apparently have the air conditioning on instead of the heat.
  • Why is everyone freaked out about whether or not the Sandra Bullock movie on Netflix got watched 45 million times or not? Is it really that big of a deal?
  • You don’t have the “right” to the fruit of someone else’s labor. If you do, then that person is your slave — they have to work for your benefit. That is never okay.
