Honestly, I'm fine with being a forgotten generation.

I don't wanna have to answer to the Millennials for our bullshit.

Easily one of the best comedic animes ever.

Pity Netflix did such a shit job with the subtitles.

Does any physical Epstein file even exist anymore?

Like, whatever actual, physical evidence with signatures and notes and anything else that wasn't digital?

Trump stole top-secret documents in 2020 and nobody stopped him.

What's keeping him from burning what he can now before they get released?

If the world would stop burning for about an hour or so, it'd be great if you could spend that time watching my new video.

Or spending some time with loved ones.

That works too, I suppose.

I remember reading how some English veterans returned their OBEs when the Beatles were awarded a similar honor back in the day.

I never understood that feeling so vividly until now, and I've never even been given the Medal of Freedom.

That award is as now as watered down as Trump's diaper.

I'll never forgive Styx for their Stalinesque purging of Dennis DeYoung not only from their ranks, but all official group media.

Personality clashes aside, Styx without DeYoung is like the Beatles without John, Paul, George, Ringo, Stuart, Pete, Brian, George (Martin), Mal and even Yoko.

Ironically, as a kid, 'Platoon' for the NES was my video gaming Vietnam.

It taught me that one cannot always accept as gospel the positive reviews of the gaming press.

I'm still bitter four decades later over paying full retail for that piece of shit.

If only we lived in a world where guys like this would see actual ramifications.

Negative ramifications, I mean.

Not positions at Fox News, CBS and the White House.

Occasionally, I wonder if the reason so many lower-budget fantasy films had so many character and place names consisting of less than six letters was due to it being such a pain in the ass to type out longer words repeatedly on old manual typewriters.

I like cats, but if I had been Ripley, if I didn't happen to run into Jonesy on the way to the pod, tough luck kitty.

If I did the math correctly, and by that I mean, if Google's built-in AI did the math correctly, going by the current value of gold, if Google's search results are correct, that statue would be worth over $200 million.

It'd also weigh over 1.5 tons.

Not sure how they got it up on that plinth.

My version was rice, tuna and cream of mushroom soup.

Even worse, it was Minute Rice.

Background newspaper art in old television cartoons were better put together than this AI-trocity.

Right-wingers clearly never knew "going Greek" wasn't limited to just joining daddy's fraternity.

Well, shit.

We lost Renato Casaro the other day, as well.

Autumn 2025 has not been kind to our iconic 1980s movie poster artists.

Mine is that the X-Men stole attention from the better Avengers side of the Marvel Universe.

Does that get me jailed or executed?

So, basically, Ronald Reagan sabotaging Carter's hostage release talks, all over again.

Republicans really like repeating themselves, don't they?

I tried playing with "The Neck-Vagina Monomaniacal Laws" or even "The Neck-Vagina Idealogues," but figured that would take it one step past being recognizable.

I just started an isekai light novel series that finally had me say to myself, "Wow. This protag is even more OP than even *I* can stomach."

And I've read all the 'Isekai Smartphone' books.

Great sequel, yes, but no matter how many times I've watched it, my biggest takeaway may be just how moist that scared Russian female crewmember was during the aerobreaking over Jupiter.

I swear, during that scene, the windows in my living room start to fog up.

The orange dipshit is a fucking toddler with a toddler's understanding of the world.

It has long been evident that Trump's lifelong vaunted "business acumen" was merely being financially Weekend-at-Bernied by those around him, with the occasional foray into a public meltdown and sex crime.
