Who wants to live forever?
I thought I was done caring about Stranger Things but the new trailer is set to my favorite Queen song from the Highlander soundtrack?

You son of a bitch.

For the folk of the realm, that day was the beginning of the end.

For Conan, it was Thursday.

I really just want to be left alone when I shop. Frankly, I really just want to be left alone whenever I’m out in public.
Honestly — just leave me alone.
Freaking extroverts thinking everyone responds like them.
Also… transparent theft deterrence. 🙄
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Into the Unknown with Mike and John will drop new conversation tomorrow, Friday, 7 November. It will be a behind the scenes discussion between the guys about what they felt worked and didn’t work in Season 1, and how they hope to grow in Season 2. Yes, Season 2. But you’ll need to pin that thought…

Into the Unknown with Mike and John; episode 8: The Goatman! Today, Halloween, at noon! I promise the show is fun and nowhere near as dark as this picture. But it does have a murderous Goatman, so there’s some dark. Medium roast, not Dark Roast.
