This is Dave, she’s a bearded dragon, she wants to know when she’s getting buggies because this salad is bullshit This is Karloff, a sphynx cat. In the old country he had many fine furs, and servants who would bring him caviar, and he cannot believe he has been reduced to this.

Cockrum was equal-opportunity with the sashes and thigh-high boots. Hell, look at Corsair! One sash wasn't sexy enough for Space Pirate Daddy, Cockrum had to put another sash on his head!

Did Corsair turn me bisexual? I mean... he didn't *not* turn me bisexual.

I read the whole thing.
For a show about hell, Good Place has no real concept of evil. In the episode "Rhonda, Diana, Jake, and Trent", the gang visit the Bad Place, and what they find is the darkest vision of hell this show has to offer: mildly annoying stuff to TV writers. Eternal torture in this show consists of stacks of New Yorker issues you’ll never get to, Taco Bell, and the Transformers movies. With the scale of genuine suffering taking place within driving distance of the show’s writers’ room, let alone around the world, to codify the darkest pits of evil with mild first world problems of a comfortable existence feels like cowardice at best and “let them eat cake” disregard at worst. A lot of the show’s comedy comes from godlike eternal beings’ interest in contemporary American culture, and it’s not my favourite source of humour. When it goes wrong, it can imply a lack of legitimate existence outside of these bounds that feels disturbing.

Here's some ugliness I found for you, you disingenuous fuck:
A skeet from the person who's disingenously claiming they haven't seen anything ugly aimed at Mamdani. It claims that Mamdani's rise was bankrolled by "Jihad-linked CAIR groups." Pretty fucking vile.

(Also, oops, early 70s, and this conversation was around Data General’s second stock offering.)
Richman also remembered that before they entered into negotiations over their second public offering of stock, after the company had been making money for a while and the stock they'd already issued had done very well indeed, their lawyer insisted that each of the founders sell some of their holdings in the company and each "take down a million bucks." This so that they could negotiate without the dread of losing everything ("Having to go back to your father's gas station," Richman called that nightmare). As for the name of the theory behind selling enough stock to become millionaires, Richman told me, "I don't know how you put it in the vernacular. We called it the Fuck You Theory."

Men's rights activists often cite the first time they realized it's a woman's world. They call these "red pill" moments, after the scene in The Matrix when the main character is faced with the decision to swallow a red pill and recognize the true nature of the world or take a blue pill and continue living a lie. For Elam, that revelation came at age 13, when his mother tried to force him to take his diarrhea medicine.

An ink doodle depicting a human stomach with a ribbon wrapped around it. On the ribbon is written FUCK CURTIS YARVIN’S PYLORIC VALVE. Little lightning bolts denoting discomfort are emanating from the approximate location of the stomach’s pyloric valve.
