“First season of LEVERAGE - so he's 21 years old - he shows me his watch designs. I'm expecting, y' know, celebrity strap branding or faces. No, it's engineering schematics of GEARS and shit. Pages of them. Even then, there were none so cool.” - John Rogers

jeeves is a criminal, which is what makes him such a great valet honestly.

he has a murderous streak in him and is always ready to bash in the brains of a policeman, he LOVES to steal, he's a masterful pickpocket, he always knows which horse races are fixed, he carries ROOFIES at ALL TIMES

the thing is when people only know about jeeves as like. A Big Good Butler from Pop Culture they just can't appreciate that he's not just a valet and not a butler, but that the WAY in which he gives good service and is an expert on anything is that he's criminally insane. and sexy

If space aliens ever come to Earth and ask me to explain American politics to them, I’m going to only note two facts:

—23 years ago, a man named Richard Reid tried to light a shoe bomb on a plane. We have been required to take our shoes off before boarding a plane ever since.

—4 years ago, a man encouraged an insurrection to overthrow a presidential election and subvert the US Constitution. He was just reelected as president.

“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.”
