Counterpoint: Lex Luthor is awesome. He takes advantage of social structures that Superman can’t punch. He fights Superman using everyone else as his shield. A true mustache-twirling villain.

- Comment on France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schools 2 weeks ago:
It’s not enough that they need to buy their own supplies, get paid next to nothing, and deal with angry parents over every F. Now they need to be infotainment competing for attention with anything a kid can find on their cell phone.
