- For instance, if you wrote in and asked whether you should celebrate someone’s death, I would almost always say that that’s A Bad Look. Don’t make things worse for people who are mourning, that sort of thing. I’m willing to be flexible when it comes to people who were actively hurtful or abusive — ideally such folks would realize the harm they’ve done and make an effort to make amends, but when they refuse, there comes a point where the next best thing is that they can’t do any more harm. Anyway, Billy Graham is dead. He can’t use the influence he spent a lifetime cultivating to try to counter the poison he spewed or the effects it had, but neither can he bolster it any longer (and honestly, he hasn’t been able to do much for some time, leaving the job to his spawn along with his obscene wealth). All the same, a man who wanted me dead will lie in state at the US capitol, so I’m not positively inclined towards his mourners.

- Fare thee well Olympians. I’ll miss you.
- You know, I’m not here to yuck anyone’s yum. But you might want to think twice before masturbating using a dead anglerfish’s stomach.
