So we're all in agreement that China Anne McClain is to Halloween what Mariah Carey is to Christmas right?

Yup.

Robot dog K9 with human Sarah Jane Smith, each introduced in 1977 and 1973 over a decade after Doctor Who premiered on November 23, 1963 and becoming popular enough to return and be in multiple spin-offs

John Sheridan, introduced in season 2 of Babylon 5 to replace Jeffrey Sinclair as the main character of the show and commander of the titular show.

Wicket W. Warrick, badass muthafuckin' Ewok who first appeared in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of The Jedi and alongside his tribe was instrumental in the defeat of the Empire during the Battle of Endor and proved popular enough to star in 2 tv movies meant to take place before Jedi, and lived long enough to see the Final Order get its ass handed to it in The Rise of Skywalker next to his son.

Admiral Jean-Luc Picard, who first appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation and became one of *the* definitive recurring captains, even getting his own spin-off from 2020-2023.

I don't actually think the funny bit is that his wife actually divorced him because of the Cybertruck, I think the funny bit is that he thinks that joking that his wife divorced him because of the Cybertruck would make him sound like a funny, relatable guy and endear people to him

Mitch McConnell is unfortunately still alive.

But slipping all over Congress floor.

Retirement is an understatement.

Go get in bed.🛌

Look, your wife didn't leave you because you have bad taste in trucks. You have bigger problems for which the truck is only a symbol. An ugly, unignorably huge symbol.

There are basically only two positions in the debate about cocaine.
1) I don't want to take cocaine. Cocaine sucks.
2) I will suck literally any part of you for some more cocaine.

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

Andrew Cuomo has the greatest mind in contemporary politics

A post from Andrew cuomos twitter where he says it was great to join Logan Paul for a 90 minute podcast recording. Attached is a photo of Andrew Cuomo shaking hands with Logan's entourage.

A fox news NYC mayoral race poll posted by the poll tracker Twitter account. It shows Zohran Mamdani with 52%, Cuomo with 28% and Sliwa with 14%. Poll was taken October 10-14 with an error rate of plus or minus 3.5

These posts almost makes me want to live in NYC just to be part of this crazy election. Cuomo's donors should have spent their money trying to get Silwa to skip the debate because he's hanging Cuomo out to dry

we desperately need these debates to be run by people whose audience is made up of something other than 85-year-old long islanders

This is how Andrew Cuomo thinks we should respond to authoritarianism.

Like, it's not just Sheev that can do it, every Sith Lord can.
He and Dooku just do it the most and Maul, Grevious and Vader never get the chance to do it onscreen.

Said it before, but its main flaw other than being an obvious emotionally manipulative fakeout death is that it's trying to make you think Rey is a Palpatine because "only a Palpatine could shoot Force Lightning" when A) no the fuck she isn't and B) this relies upon you forgetting Count Dooku exists
