Nobody makes it out of childhood without getting burned; everybody's got a wounded soul. When those wounds heal, they become scars, and when the shape of your scar matches the shape of another's wound, recognition begets connection.

I wasn’t too popular with ‘em when I said that to ‘em. Like I gave a flying fuck. 😁

I've already sworn off #CBS other than watching #StephenColbert, so yes, f**k CBS. I'm never watching them after tonight until there's a change of ownership.

Now see if you can match the names with the faces in the pic.

@bkahn Chamber pots with the faces of political opponents on the inside were popular in Britain in previous centuries 😁
