Good thing she waited until after Halloween to have this meltdown, otherwise DC Halloween have been a wall of Hayley Stevens
HALEY STEVENS: Anderson, this is a broader point about what's going on in our party

COOPER: It's actually not. It's really just a question of why you changed your mind

The core problem of putting things off all week with, “oh, it’s fine, I’ll get to it on the weekend,” is that it is now the weekend and I remain just as adamant that I don’t want to do things

There are two types of millennials. 9/11ials and Obamials. Emo/Screamo and St Louis Hip Hop? 9/11ial. Stomp clap hey?, Obamial. Homestar Runner, 9/11ial. Le epic baconz, Obamial.

Despite coming out before The Wire, West Wing is Obamial and The Wire is 9/11ial

The closest is probably the "Lost Generation" (self-titled, lol) of post-WWI American writers who mostly never even made it across the Atlantic, never mind the Western Front, but had Big Profound Thoughts about it.
