I think we all have at some point, haven't we?

That show is great. Even though it's painfully obvious these days that Veep is more true-to-life.

What the fuck, @allnipponairways.bsky.social ?? Just arrived at HND, it's totally dry outside, but our luggage (all three pieces) is SOAKING WET. Electronics, paper, clothes. Same thing happened the last time, two years ago. Batting 100% in the shitty customer service department.

Wrong. You'd have to be older than about 80 now to understand all that.

Kids — sauce is *I was one* — loved the DeLorean because it looked cool. NOT ONE knew about how it drove or the bankruptcy, etc. You're projecting 40 years of retconning and extra knowledge into a place it never existed.

Every Republican on the Sunday shows should be forced to watch the Air Feces One video and then be asked, “Is the President sane?”

Great moments in redaction history.

Interview from the Titan submarine investigation. The witness name is blacked out. The first line is "Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Ten years ago today.

Tweet that reads: 'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.

I can't wait for Torment Nexus 2! Trailer looks... Well, terrible, actually.

Appallingly, there is less lying and obfuscation in most movie trailers than anything the GOP/government has been putting out recently.

Is that you, Nathan Fielder?

That guy who sang 'Prisencolinensinainciusol' (Adriano Celentano).

Cue 1989 song 'Pump Up the Jam' by Belgian Eurobeat band Technotronic.

Grima Wormtongue will always have a job.

Karyudo @karyudo.bsky.social · 12d

This is so win-win.

A loser who came fifth in a swim meet and parlayed it into a cottage industry of grievance. Incredible.

Karyudo @karyudo.bsky.social · 13d

I think there should be polling *right now* to find out what the consensus is on maximum SCOTUS size, so the next Democratic POTUS can expand it to that number plus a few, thus making it toxic to anyone who'd plan to skew it ideologically by increasing it further.

Karyudo @karyudo.bsky.social · 13d

Not the point, I know, but that was the *season finale*?! Pretty soon "seasons" are going to be single episodes, maybe 90 minutes long each, and separated by a few ye... wait a sec: those are called "movies".

I like wearing a watch, but one thing I *don't* miss about everyone doing it was how unsynchronized the times could be.

Once he gets back from his second annual physical of the year.

This is not an off-ramp. This is holes for foundations for an "off-ramp coming soon" road sign beside the freeway 10 miles upstream of an off-ramp location that hasn't even been submitted to the planning department yet because it's still a lot with a house on it.

If it didn't take away somebody else's well-deserved prize, and didn't immediately drag the Nobel concept down, nominating Grandpa Pudding Brains for a Fiction prize would be a fitting diss.

Karyudo @karyudo.bsky.social · 15d

"Lawful order" is another new relevant one (that seems to mean, "we're doing what we like until SCOTUS and only SCOTUS says otherwise").

That show is the master of the non sequitur:

Bender: "Halt! Who goes there?"
Fry: "Aw, c'mon Bender — you know it's me."
Bender: "Fry who?"

Karyudo @karyudo.bsky.social · 15d

I was hooked just after the first (?) ad break in the pilot episode, where there's closeup of robot arm picking up robot arm, then wide shot of Bender re-attaching his second arm, and Fry says (with not a little wonder), "I don't know how he did that!"
