A comic cover for a comic called "ATOMIC WAR!"

It features Moscow being hit multiple times by nuclear weapons while a USAF bomber drops yet another nuke while the pilot says, "We'll plant this H-bomb right in the Kremlin and avenge what the Reds did to New York, Chicago, and Detroit... Bombs Away!"

But you can't even fuck it!

You can't fuck it! You can just type your sex fantasies into a computer and the company will save it all forever! You fucking fools!

Hookay. Finally got the doorhandle of my car fixed. It was $300 to fix but it was also $300 worth of annoying to have to Dukes of Hazzard my giant ass in and out the driver's side window.

They fear social ostracism to a degree, but the threat of violence works better.

Ask me how I know!

Christ! I'd have begged them to lop my leg off at the hip.

Illegally killing the citizens of our closest South American ally is a completely batshit thing to do.

Yes, groups of 30-50 feral hogs exist to satisfy an aceflux mindset.

Lol, Protestants trying to scold the pope and imagining that he'd either read their burblings or care.

Huh. Shame.

Y'know, I always thought his daughter was trying to kill him for the money.

Cybill Shepherd is such a fucking knockout!

40 years ago tonight, on Oct. 15, 1985, ABC aired an episode of MOONLIGHTING that became an instant classic— “The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice.” It was a love letter to old Hollywood and the noir films of the era.

I think it's part and parcel of their desire to indulge in fantasy and buy expensive toys to play with. Any billionaire who was actually concerned about apocalypse would realize that it's easier to invest in avoiding it.

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried?

The debate is ramping up about what happens if - or when - computer intelligence overtakes humans

Fash want to be in command both politically and culturally. They get real offended if you don't let them be absolute barbarians but also cool and popular.

99% of my Luddism is fueled by the fact that none of these techlord assholes can let me say "not interested" to their products.

I'm more annoyed with a supposed elite journalist fucking her source and being rewarded for that massive breach of professional conduct, but you do you.

They were always hateful bigots, they just couched it in obfuscation. I was in college before and after 9/11, and I recall how gleeful they were to let it all hang out.

Israel left infants in a NICU to die of neglect and it was published on the front page of WaPost and people will still give them the benefit of the doubt.
