For the United States to be guilty of such uncivilized and slimy behavior has become commonplace. Trumposhenko's private army the WE pay for will be a source of shame and embarrassment for moral and decent Americans until the last of these ICE/Brownshirts dies. Shun them.

"The practice of rigging lavatories with a disco soundtrack and flashing lights activated by a button [...] is so commonplace that it has almost become a cliche." Oh, yeah, the disco toilet, I'm so familiar with that.

Hmmm. Pseudonyms are commonplace, especially in journalism. I believe Pecksniff to be a good egg, in fact. It’s just a bit horrifying how easy it can be to treat things lightly from the comfort of your own nest or bubble. I write this from under my own comfy duvet with coffee and toast, admittedly.

the only people for me are the fast ones, the ones who are fast to live, fast to talk, fast to be saved, furious at everything a quarter mile at a time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but drift, drift, drift like fabulous yellow sportscars on Tokyo streets
When shall we three drive again
Quite fast in fog, or snow, or rain?
When the furiousness is done,
When the race is lost and won
Quite fast in fog, or snow, or rain?
When the furiousness is done,
When the race is lost and won
No fast organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute fury; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to drift.

Everything that used to be "sensationalist" or "controversial" like 10 or so years ago is just commonplace and background noise nowadays.

Lasseter was born in 1957 and grew up throughout much of the 1960s & 1970s, during a time when the workplace was far more demeaning to women, and that kind of workplace harassment was a lot more commonplace.

Jacob is a brilliant, brilliant writer and essayist. He thinks about games in a way no one else does. He's represented and argued for a politics that would create a better world where the pain he caused would be less commonplace. Now he can't do that. I'm sad about that.

It has become almost commonplace for public institutions to shell out cash to departing employees in exit agreements. But the deal OHSU struck with former top lawyer Alice Cuprill Comas stands out.
In August, OHSU Said Its Top Lawyer Had Retired. It Gave Her $1.8 Million to Go Quietly.
