legit my biggest problem with The Matrix in 1999 was that after Neo has his climactic revelation, he should get to stop wearing black and switch to an insanely loud bright Hawaiian shirt or something. anyway shoutout to Koumba in Pluribus episode 2

Old head alert!! A long time reader requested-- instead of Jonathan Reason from SLEEP -- poor old Knute, and his pursuer Thiudmir, the visigoth leader from The Replacement God (a comic book series that is *cough* 30 years old this year)

my kid's only birthday present request was a family trip to the overpriced roller rink, so now I'm wobbly-following at least one of my twins around in a circle with the grim mien of one of the protagonists of Contra (1987)

Liz 1 used her monarchical authority in the only truly justifiable way: seeing a character who's kind of goofy withbut and telling the author "now show me how it'd be if i let him hit"

there are so many wonderful aspects to all the new GW nurgle sculpts, but an underrated one that i love: i hate when they make smoke or fumes out of solid plastic, and not a single one of the new sculpts have that. solid plastic should represent solid matter. that's simply how i was raised

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.
you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

Jury Nullification is a fancy name for a legal practice but it really just comes down to our innate right to always respond "actually I ain't gotta do shit, buddy"

in many ways, Mamdani got to live the ultimate dream - knowing he was making Cuomo incandescently mad, 24/7. but the price he must pay for this boon is having to be mayor of New York
