I’m very happy we’re all talking about mental illness more freely but “sorry i got bored at work or was rude on a date I’m neurodivergent 😤” is a lot

So the state can mandate that a 14 year old girl carry the pregnancy forced upon her by a rapist to term and endure delivery at her age, BUT the state CANNOT mandate that same girl wear a mask at school, because that's too great a burden for the state to impose. WHAT?

Pretty consistently from 2013 to 2015 Deadpool would explode on Twitter with fans wanting me to play him. It was awkward because I agreed with them but the studio didn’t see it. Ultimately the fans won and the rest is glorious history. I’m forever grateful. Hi @levarburton

If you are angry that 20 months into this pandemic we still need to wear masks, good! I’m angry too! We could be happily going about our lives if the response had been better. But I’m wearing my mask now because I don’t want to STILL be in a pandemic in ANOTHER 20 months.

"Does the Magna Carta apply to me?" A flowchart. Are you a 13th century baron in dispute with an unpopular king? Yes -> It applies No -> It does not apply. So stop being an idiot.

Hard to imagine we'd see this level of vaccine hesitance if we had a medical system where people could regularly see and talk to a doctor they trusted for FREE instead of a situation where in order to avoid going broke people seek medical advice on the internet

“Holding a disgraced Democrat to account” is a “bipartisan consensus”, while “holding a disgraced Republican to account” is a “partisan witch hunt.”

Which makes me realize how helpful the concept of deserving is in character building. For QUEEN OF NONE: Lanceloch: "I deserve only what I earn alone through suffering." Gawain: "I deserve only what I can win." Bedevere: "I deserve only what Arthur allows."

I’ll never understand why some people like to talk so loud in public spaces - bars/restaurants, airplanes, waiting on line - I barely want to hear what my own head is saying half the time, let alone yours. Controller of the Simulation, chill them TF out, please. Thanx.

Saw someone say they’re boycotting any business that requires proof of vaccination to enter and it’s like babe it’s not a boycott if you’re not allowed inside.
