Graham was a homophobe and was seen as one of Trump's closest allies in the Senate. His death will not meaningfully impact the partisan balance of the Senate, as South Carolina's Republican governor can immediately appoint a replacement to serve out the remainder of his term.

Graham's death, which was unexpected, comes as the nation is expectantly waiting for the death of former Republican Senate Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell — who was hospitalized weeks ago and has mysteriously not made any public appearances, statements, or updates since.

A reminder, since Graham croaked:

You can criticize hypocrisy without making homophobic jokes or using homophobic nicknames.

And if YOU feel YOU can't, that's just a fucking skill issue.

Get good or get blocked. I got no patience for it.

Always be skeptical of advice that feels targeted to genuine laziness. This is different from beginner advice, or advice that is meant to be accessible. Someone saying "This might seem complicated to an outsider, but with a bit of time it'll all make sense, and you'll realize it's nowhere near as impenetrable as it seemed!" is totally fine! But if someone says their method requires "no work," or it gets "real results in no time," alarms should go off in your brain.

Whether it's a machine you can supposedly feed a single sentence into and receive the next Avengers: Endgame, or a $2,000 course that'll make you a wealthy entrepreneur living solely off passive income in 12 months, appealing to instant gratification and minimal effort is the craft of a conman.

This is going to sound like advice from your grandparents, but it's true: Nothing worth a damn comes for free. Whether it costs money, time, passion or heartbreak, things that have value are not created from thin air. If they were, they wouldn't have value, because anyone could have their own.

If someone could really generate 100 Avengers movies with a button, would they be selling you the button, or would they be making billions in the box office? If someone could really create such a reliable investment/business strategy that it could make even the least-savvy Joe out there a millionaire, would they be selling courses online, or would they be running a successful business?

Always ask if you're being sold gold, or if you're sold a shovel.

Hey don't cry, okay? We just found Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna, a species thought to be extinct for the past 60 years.

So Sir David Attenborough was already a well known naturalist(the docementary kind, not the nudist kind) in 1961 to have an animal named after him, then lived 60 years thinking the animal went extinct and now lives to see evidence of it not being extinct. That is both incredibly heartwarming and a very Elf-core thing of him to do. He truly is an archdruid

you're owen lars. your father has fallen in love with a woman and she's enslaved. you and your father aren't rich, but eventually you manage to free her. this one woman. one woman on a planet full of injustices.

you're owen lars. the woman you call mom had another child once. it doesn't make her love you less, but she talks about him in a way that makes it clear that she loved him, too. he's off to be a jedi now and she's very proud.

you're owen lars. your mother's been kidnapped and you have to assume the worst. a man and a woman step into your home and the man announces himself to be that kid who went off to become a jedi. he knows you less than you know him and before anything else can happen, he takes off to bring back his mother, a feat you think is impossible.

you're owen lars. anakin skywalker brings your mom's corpse to your doorstep. her funeral is interrupted by a message of utmost galactic importance.

you're owen lars. your brother is dead. you never saw him again after that first time. there is another jedi on your doorstep, with a baby in his arm and you know what it means and you can't bring yourself to face him as he hands your nephew off to your wife.

you're owen lars. obi-wan ben kenobi is a pain in the ass. he was more your brother's brother than you ever were and he doesn't understand your particular kind of grief, is drowning in his own. you don't even know the full story and kenobi will never tell you all of it. but you have a child to care for so you tell him off and get back to work.

you're owen lars. you didn't know your brother, but you know your nephew and your nephew wants out of this place as soon as possible. you know he won't be safe out there but in the end you're helpless to stop him. and you know the stories, you remember the one time you met him, the days your mother died. and you do this for her and you do this for your father and you do this for your brother and you do this for your nephew.

you're owen lars. your last act is to protect your brother's child. your child.

characters who dig themselves out of their graves (whether literal or metaphorical) are at the top of the list. nothing beats a character who should have died but didn't and comes back to haunt their own life and the world around them, benevolent or violent it doesn't matter, it's enthralling either way
