Ol’ Benny Shaps challenging Trump for the title of “Most Fitting Euology from One Right-Wing Scumbag to Another, Intentionally or Otherwise“ This might still retain the title, though:
Integrity of JFK’s Skull Compromised During Otherwise Uneventful Drive Through Texas
Haha, hahaha! “Killing all the right people,” what a funny joke! What a great sense of humor he had! What a non-disagreeable person he was!
Why wait for the future? All of Elon's dollars could be replaced with mass and energy right now
The Simpsons episode got it mostly right, but was apparently too woke to show the elephant pissing all over the place
Using the national anthem as the equivalent of a human shield against public criticism of the govt
RIP to Tony Head. What do you even say? The man was near-perfect at what he did. Incredible loss.
One of only a handful of Star Trek episodes that genuinely scared me when I first saw them. Also one of the most formally interesting episodes of 90s Trek, one of the relatively few times they really seriously messed around (successfully!) with their “house style” of direction
The Littlest Hobo and Mr. Dressup are the parts of my Canadian heritage that I’m most unambiguously proud of
Guess I have to be Captain Obvious: Tom Cruise IS the United States of America
Interesting thread on a game I never knew existed until now. I did see the movie when it first came out, but the only thing I really remember about it is Dan Hedaya’s WILD shoulder hair.
BREAKING: The Zit Remedy has withdrawn from the Freedom 250 Celebration
Very vivid memories of poring over cards from these sets to compare the stats on the back as a kid
Seeing people say “at least the other party chose the most cartoonishly evil nominee possible” in the year of our lord 2026
Nothing says “serious government document“ like a portrait of grampa giving you the skunk-eye after you ask him as quietly and respectfully as possible if he just had an “oopsie“ and needs to go clean up in the bathroom
Accepting fewer refugees, but actively recruiting from foreign militaries which may have turned people into refugees in the first place. Great things are happening in Canada.
Agreed, though I suddenly remembered this nightmare from a few years ago and had to image search it to check that it was real
Incredible artist. His work on The Spectacular Spider-Man in the 80s and 90s produced some of my most vivid childhood memories of the medium. Rest in peace, truly.
Me pushing my luck in a place where lots of people have guns and hate my fucking guts: “Can you believe they threw a sandwich at me and wouldn’t let me poop????”
I still believe in Gene Roddenberry’s vision for the future.
