Walking to work the other day, saw the news playing on a TV in the lobby of a building

Thermal camera footage of the capsule in the ocean with a "ISS EVACUATION" chyron.

Nothing has ever felt more like I was in the opening scene of a sci-fi horror film.

My unpopular opinion is that I kinda liked Dilbert.

I was 12 years old reading a book of Dilbert comics about working in an office chuckling and saying "it's funny because it's true".

I really liked Wake Up Dead Man but is it just me or is Blanc's accent getting more subdued with each film?

Taxi driver, clearly wanting us to pay in cash, told us "you know, 80% of people prefer to pay in cash".

Which is clearly bollocks, but taxi etiquette dictated I nod and reply "yeah I'd say so".
