“calculated overreaction to an unfortunate incident”
I came across the above while reading an article in The Economist about propaganda. Sums up my childhood, your childhood, Pakistani politics and a plethora of other events in one sentence.

I’ve been meaning to
read forever, I

My very own Gossip Girl.
“Wakey wakey, Upper East Siders. Welcome to the first day of senior year and the onset of a new social dynasty. The big question is: with Lomiere single and on top of the world, will Montmorency become the House of Krasinski?”
So, this happened.
Me: So, who are you voting for?
Friend: Nobody. I vote for the Messiah to show up already.
Me: What Messiah?
Friend: The Messiah.
Me: Tell me about this Messiah.
Friend: Jesus. He'll come and whisk us away from this hellhole. I hope.
Me: Jesus of Nazareth? He's alive?! After all these years? Where's he going to come from?
Me: Ghairat ki jaa hai Eisa, Zinda ho aasmaan par; Madfoon ho zameen main, Shah-e-Jahan hamara.
Friend: He's going to come from Heaven. I assume he's sleeping right now, catching up on all the energy he lost. He'll need lots of it here. Then we'll have something like Dumbledore's Army, except it'll be Jesus' Army.
Friend: But we'll be okay. There will be peace. But so much bloodshed before it.
Me: If you say so.

This guy just made my day.
Mohammad Jibran Nasir - Azad Umeedwar for NA250 and PS113 Ali, I will give you a candid response even if it invites criticism and me losing support because I do not want to sound politically correct like politicians but just sound correct like a public representative. Till the time I had not befriended Ahmadis I found nothing wrong with the laws of Pakistan, quite simply because I did not bother...

Penny: How old are you?
William: Eighteen.
Penny: *mildly surprised* Me too.
[pause]
Penny: How old are you, really?
William: *reluctant* Seventeen.
Penny: Me too!
William: Actually, I'm sixteen.
Penny: *laughs* Me too. Isn't it funny? The truth just sounds different.
William: I'm fifteen.

Russell: You're supposed to be the enemy. What are you, eighteen?
William: Yes.
Russell: There you go. Still young enough to be honest.

The Best April Fools' Prank (That I Shall Ever Do)

justatiltedlamp:
Once upon a time, I decided that it was my solemn obligation to prank my friends before we graduated.
So…I made Hogwarts Acceptance letters. A lot of them. Because who isn’t still waiting for their freaking letter to arrive?
My hand hated me so much. Also, cursive G is the worst.
Letters were posted. All was well.
Until this happened…
What...

Riddles in the Dark.
What has roots as nobody sees, Is taller than trees, Up, up it goes, And yet never grows?
One of Gollum’s riddles for Bilbo. The answer is “mountain”.
Thirty white horses on a red hill, First they champ, Then they stamp, Then they stand still.
One of Bilbo’s riddles for Gollum. The answer is “teeth”.
Voiceless it cries, Wingless flutters, toothless bites,...

The Fresh Ten Commandments: The Fresh Ten →
thefreshten:
Recent events have made it clear that we are suffering from a broken moral compass. People today could use some general guidance.
Since the original ten commandments seem somewhat narrow and obsolete (too much focus on livestock, servants, and jealous god issues), here is a modest first…
