Chris Kyle the greatest american sniper in military history was shot and killed when confronted by a "crazy guy" with a gun. So we just have to train the teachers a lil bit better than Chris Kyle.

Best typo in this manuscript: "...he cocked his head and lifted..." somehow became "he cocklifted."

Thank you to my beta readers who trashed their search histories looking for a definition of cocklifting. I apologize for all your future google ads.
Having been through US Army training scenarios in which we rolled up on an ongoing and escalating situation in which both the good guys and the bad guys had guns but weren’t wearing “Good Guy” or “Bad Guy” signs, I’m 100% positive arming teachers is the wrong answer.

One of the many reasons that the box office of BLACK PANTHER and WONDER WOMAN is important is that no one can ever say again a superhero who is a woman or superhero is a person of color doesn’t make money. Go to the movies. Change the conversation. Representation matters.

*whispers in your ear* white nationalists murdering people will never be called terrorism in America because terrorism implies its a threat to the state apparatus but white nationalist violence only reenforces the state apparatus in America

Q: Ugh, you're just a SpaceX hater. Why you gotta be that way?!
— Mika McKinnon (@mikamckinnon) February 6, 2018
A: It is irresponsible to uncritically adore anything. SpaceX accomplishes amazing things (like today's test flight!), but no company is flawless.

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE AT THE BACK
Look, from one point of view I'm a successful showrunner working in his creative field of choice and responsible for millions of dollars of production money. And yet, every day I fight the urge to get liquored up and play FALLOUT 4 for 12 hours. Just know that never goes away.

It'll be funny when millennials grow up & tell the younger generation shit like "you just gotta pull yourself up by your bootstraps like me & make all your money from a lovecraftian inspired steam punk board game you kickstarted"

Comedy and rap are similar in that the goal of both is to get good enough to stop doing them and just be in movies with The Rock.

Dance like nobody's watching. Love like you've never been hurt. Maintain pike intervals like there’s a maniple of legionaries charging who will close to sword range if you fuck up and give them an opening and then you, and all your battle brothers, are meat for the Roman beast.
