Obama won in part because people were sick and tired of Bush’s approach to governance, including the attacks on civil liberties and starting illegal And Obama promised change and then didn’t even stop the abuses of executive power If you want to ask how we got here, we can’t memory hole that

“Do we like Damien? We like Damien, don’t we? It’s all for him, we do it all for him. We just want him to look at us. We treat him well, sometimes he’s not very nice to us, but it is for him, it’s really all for Damien.”

In our near term Snowcrash future, disaster operations in Texas will be contracted out to HEB. For the rest of the south it will go to waffle house

Been watching a lot of Kitchen Nightmares recently to distract myself from the horrors, and I've decided the show's basic premise is "men would rather sink $1 million into a restaurant than go to therapy"

For some reason I heard this in the Law & Order VO guy's voice

Sadly you're only allowed to use the "scrambled eggs" version of Yesterday though

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Wait, I know this one

People seem to forget the (multiple) episodes of Star Trek where all the people who programmed the computer running their society died and their children were so dumb they started worshipping the computer as a god

"Meanwhile, every version of "Braindead" eludes German audiences, where it remains illegal to present to the public." This is a funny misunderstanding of the situation in Germany because, sure, it's technically illegal to distribute it there, the worst that happens is they confiscate the copies.

Probably the only time in history where you could make a movie whose entire premise was "remember 11 years ago? That was way better than now, right?"

Reminds me of a horror movie I saw where the writers didn't understand how classic (tank) water heaters work and it totally pulled me out of the movie

JON WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INDUSTRIAL BAGEL?

Okay, I'm not going to subtweet anyone here, but after trying to explain (just via my best guess, working in this industry) what's going on here, and why the storage business can't "just sell" this film... I get why all the librarians hate when those dumpsters full of books posts come up.

ME: Hahaha! Time to enjoy another new Nick Lutsko banger about Gremlins 3, Dan Bongino, or Ernest P. Worrell. Now, let me just make sure my six-month-old son is tightly held in my arms and not going anywhere as I hit play... Let's laugh! Not cry, of course!

I don’t think China is going to buckle but they may normalize relations again if we give them Trump like when countries loan exotic animals to zoos for diplomatic reasons. Like kids can throw diet cokes at his pen.

There's an alternate timeline where Brad Pitt got the lead in Phantasm II in 1988 and I wonder if that's where everything went off the rails

"water flowing underground" Oh crap, I think one of the pipes burst

I genuinely love that in the early 20th century we had cartoonists in both the US (Rube Goldberg) and UK (Heath Robinson) drawing outlandish contraptions that captivated the public so much their own names became synonymous with outlandish contraptions in their respective countries

I would genuinely love to know which border she plans to lie down on

WHAT ABOUT DOGE STEALING OUR DATA??? DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS TO LIE DOWN ON THE SENATE FLOOR TO STOP THAT????

I'll always appreciate that Turn Off the Dark was such a fiasco even Sesame Street made fun of it youtu.be/qh_dYPR3rW0?...

Reminds me of all the Mexican bologna smuggling stories www.fox4news.com/news/repeat-...

"I would like to have a civil conversation about your statement. Would you mind showing me evidence of any negative thing any sea lion has ever done? I'm just curious if you have any sources to back up your opinion? You made a statement in public for all to hear. Are you unable to defend the..."

Guess it's time to get back to the classic economic engines: gas, grass and ass

Pretty sure this was going to be the plot to the third "Happy Death Day" movie

I'm at my desk editing articles about Gunsmoke spin-offs in one window and slowly descending into maniacal laughter like I'm the Invisible Man any time I look at the news in another window because doing a day job right now feels INSANE.

Reminds me of this "classic" retitling

"Increasingly worried the Trump administration will implement the policy agenda they ran on instead of the made up one I ascribed to them" – The entire business community for some reason

As your congresswoman, I will allow transgender for everybody.

Has anyone tried unplugging the US and plugging it back in

John Waters' deep appreciation for it (and the fact they got him to appear in the second movie) really drives this point home

Soooooo we thinking old Pete was drunk or the job or what? It would be funny, if it wasn’t scary! Maybe we need some DEI (definitely earned it) hires to get this shit together because the incompetence is OVERWHELMINGLY problematic.
