“Just say thank you.” Good god. I would have loved to see Zelenskyy lay Vance out for that, Buzz Aldrin style. But because he’s a superior human being to everyone else in that room, he did not.

And the complete lack of emotion in his voice tells you he’s long since stopped worrying about the consequences of his words/actions. He knows his base won’t care.

I feel compelled to point out that “back door man” was already a common expression in blues lyrics.

I assume that’s what was being referred to.

Well gosh darn it. I like it.

Wait is using “/handy” as a shorthand for Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy… Is that a thing?

I’ll just write thousands of lines of code inside a global object… I’m sure I won’t put a semicolon where a comma should be…

The idea of specifically choosing motorcycle as your Costco mode of transport is hilarious, but I suppose panniers beat lugging a bunch of bags on a train.
