#super power

[forevermariina]

I just wish I could know every language! That would be my super power! I know some people know a few, I once met a guy that knew 18 languages, he was a gem! But let me tell you how much more beautiful the world is when you experience it through culture, language, food, art, just people - truly beautiful people. I know two and half languages and still progressing, but I want them all! Especially Arabic! I’ve never been more in love with the sound of a language. I am greedy for language - I’m greedy with my yearning to know 🩶

A bunch of my friends had super powers and my job was to get the swarms of press out of the room we were in. One of the reporters snuck past me and asked a friend what their power was. He answered, "Well, for every single chicken nugget you can eat, I can eat two chicken nuggets. But that's not a power, that's just talent."

It's been years and I still think about it.

It's only Tuesday and Trump has fucked up a pool for $14 Million, lost a war agreeing to pay Iran $300 Billion, and ballooned his already expensive ballroom budget by another $200 Million. Where are the Republicans screaming about "waste, fraud and abuse"?

Trump's White House ballroom is no longer projected to be $400 m. It is now $600 m. and taxpayers are projected to pick up half the tab. WaPo with a big report.
