#welcome to America

Leading actor, Civil Rights activist, and groundbreaker James Earl Jones has passed. I first saw him in Welcome To America and of course I remember those iconic voice roles of Darth Vader and Mufasa. He was 93. Rest In Paradise!

Soap: Is there something about this place that everyone is great, except that they will murder you if you cross them?

König: There is a certain personality type that thrives here, yes.

We've lost a legend

Status Post #11381: James Earl Jones has passed away at age 93 and I'm really gutted about it. Now, I would include Darth Vader and Mufasa but instead, I'm going with his roles as Thulsa Doom and King Jaffe Joffer instead.

I went to a Mexican supermarket to get dinner and the cashier took one look at me and knew I was Mexican and then began to talk to me in Spanish and I felt so bad when I had to explain that I am not fluent.

It's charming that I got recognized as a Mexican

But also scary cuz that means I'm not white passing as much as I thought I was

Well, joke's over. Now we have to deal with the Speaker of the House being a Republican.

Or do we?

[The following paragraph has been edited since verifying the information. The edit is minor, but to prevent misinformation, I felt it necessary]

One of the stipulation voters for McCarthy had was that he allow a single lawmaker to make a motion that would remove him from the position. This was likely meant to throw him out the second he tries to curtail them, but I see it backfiring so easily. It's like going into battle without a helmet so you're easier to kill if you try to desert; even if he stays loyal, the folks on the other side will probably get him first.

Welcome to the slow death of the Republican Party.

I love being controversial in the most punk weirdo way.

Me: *has been hiccuping for the past 10 minutes*

Coworker 1: somebody scare him. See if that works

Coworker 2: just think about your rights in this country

Me: *stops hiccuping* well that was terrifying

Nothing like being twenty-one and debating if I want to be an artist, moving to Maine, go back to school for fourteen years to become a forensic pathologist, or all three at the same time, and then realizing that I can't debate all that because I don't even get paid enough to pay rent without a roommate-
