Listen, if you’re up against a pitcher with an arm strong enough to throw a baby 60.5 feet and over the plate, you’ve already lost.

Used the classic 2/1 ratio of water and white vinegar to clean the carpet in my room. Now the stains are all gone, and the air smells rather like testicles in the summertime.

Hey, no worries, just watching Lucio Fulci's ZOMBIE for the fifth night in a row as penance for being a lifelong horror fan who, at 41 with a Film degree, never properly delved into Eye-talian horror before. Wow. Astonishing stuff. Captivated.

Living in a fascist dystopia is feeling yourself go mad as you see one last straw after another, an endless series of last straws for decades, and every single one gets shrugged off without effort or any kind of real consequences for the person who did it.

Will is the best! You should also read the book he worked on about Airplane, called "Surely You Can't Be Serious!" It's great!!

"Give Until Gone."

(Once upon a time, it would have been "Extra Tube." Alas, no more.)

Whereas I prefer to slowly put on black gloves and flex my fingers menacingly for several moments so everyone knows I am NOT nice.

It's ok to feel sad about it. It is genuinely sad. Twitter is where I met my wife, the love of my life and the mother of my children. Now that Twitter is dying, I have no way to contact these three.

Per House rules, the vacant Speaker position will revert to "the most lavishly psychotic chiropractor in Pinellas County, FL" until such time as the Republicans affirmatively select a new leader.

Let me be clear: In the last place, there were far too many hordes of trolls for me to actively express my disdain for those who are abusive bullies for no reason.

HERE, on the other hand, I DO NOT INTEND TO FUCK AROUND OR LET THINGS GO.

Ye be warned.

Confused: Which part was "the joke," and which part was you just publicly insulting someone in an unsolicited / unprovoked fashion?

Y’know how Ra’s al Ghul calls Batman “Detective”? What would he call you if you were his nemesis?

Why, back in my day, muffins needed to be transported like giant blocks of ice in the Old West, and you'd chip a few bits of blueberry off the edge and it'd feed you for a week... saw a man crushed to death by a muffin once... [abe simpson.gif]

Not only that, but the vague brushstrokes of Tasha Yar's origin in TNG underlined that hard and early, too.

DS9 gets criticism for going against the utopian vision of TOS and TNG; and I couldn’t disagree more

they were very intentional about which parts of the optimistic vision of the future were utopian; and what the cost of that utopia was

and the writers directly attacked fascism at every opportunity
