Bring back the 5-5-5 and we’ll talk, Dominos.

“This peaceful civilizations turns, willingly, into an authoritarian dictatorship in the span of a decade.”

The only part of this story that surprises me is that Pinkertons are still around. I think I’d assumed they went defunct sometime during the FDR Administration.

“People would be better off re-balancing their deductions to see the money in every paycheck...”

“It isnt a terrible plan, as star wars plans go.”

...you realize the whole country is a series of islands, right?

Another one you missed: a big sarcastic thank you for having high-intensity headlights which are blindingly bright, even when not on high beam. Especially when used on an SUV or truck so that said headlights are at the perfect height to interfere with a sedan driver’s eyes.

I’ve seen trailers in theaters since last spring--possibly even earlier--but it wasn’t until a month or so ago that they actually included any hints of the characters or plot. They were just quick teasers depicting the “strange world” aspects.

People in rural America may bemoan the loss of locally owned mom-and-pop stores in their downtowns, but - at least in my experience - they love Wal-Mart’s low prices and that it’s pretty close to a one-stop shop.

In many ways that suits the relationship as it’s been many years since they’ve seen each other.

Our civilization is built on science . . . . At some level in our lives, we expect that there are experts and knowledge to rely on. 

This article did not age well...

In addition to a watermark, I only use a relatively low-res version of my images. Good enough for a preview on a website, not good enough for actual prints.

Exactly. It’s a mistake to think of it as a weekly version of The Daily Show. John Oliver has carved out a niche as arguably the only true long-form news comedian; there are likely only so many 15-20 minute segments on one subject they can produce.

...I wasn’t talking about Solo.
