He was the one who was too enthusiastic about zapping Rex. I guess his jump to outright homicidal tendencies isn’t a stretch.

What do you want to bet that his “relationship-based sourcing” turns out to be the obvious answer — the stolen supplies.

Gee, it almost makes you wonder if the price gouging and shortages might possibly have something to do with the Feds stealing testing kits and PPE shipments and that maybe - just maybe - a certain someone is getting a large cut of the profits.

I was impressed by the rare display of restraint on the part of the director here at the very end. This show’s biggest weakness for me has always been its utter inability to shut the [bleep] up and let the visuals tell the story. There’s always been some insultingly stupid droid comment or meaningless chatter to break…

Storming the capitol with assault weapons isn’t a protest, it’s the opening to an eighties action movie. (Spoiler alert, Meal Team Six here isn’t the good guys.) They’re sending a very clear message: “Do what we want or we’ll murder you all.”

Roughly similar to the book Mindscan by Robert J. Sawyer.

He just watched Superman 3, didn’t he?

He got the idea from a quack Florida “archbishop” named Mark Grenon, whose “church” has been selling chlorine dioxide - what they call M.M.S. (Magical Mineral Solution) - to rubes to cure everything from autism to Brain Cloud. It’s literal snake oil. He’s an addlebrained senior who got suckered by a con man he saw on…

It’s not like this is the first time that TrumpCo’s personal debts have dictated foreign policy. Look at the weird shit that went down around Kushner’s 666 Fifth Ave. building -

My knuckles (and butt) were frequently on the receiving end of Penguin Wrath my first year in a parochial school ca. 1979-80, so there were definitely some pre-V2 holdouts. Come to think of it, she would also give us a lengthy lecture on what we *really* meant whenever we said “goddammit”...

Studio Ghibli put up a bunch of free backgrounds to use, if you’re into that sort of thing.

>Cartoons that are as familiar as they are undeniable re-watchable.

THUFIR Hawat, not Thurfir.

Never change, Werner Herzog, you weird German man you. Never change.

“We all”? I assume you meant to say “the Right” there, because lefties all seem to be on board with following the advice of doctors and scientists and not a reality TV huckster. And FYI, those protests are about as organic as the Tea Party. They’re being fomented by the same conservative think tanks as last time.

The key to understanding Trump is that he’s a huckster. He’s a used car salesman trying to sell the country a car that’s missing a wheel and has a smallpox blanket in the trunk. Ever see old commercials of him shilling Trump Vodka or Trump Steaks or Trump Chlamydia or whatever? He uses EXACTLY the same speech patterns…

The three Fates as spinners are from Greek mythology - Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. Clotho spins the thread of a person’s fate, Lachesis measures it, and Atropos snips it. No loom, but they are usually shown consulting a book of fate. I think Charlie said she was Clotho?

Or DEVO:

Could we maybe focus on the wee detail that the sitting Secretary of Education is funding groups that are inciting riots against a democratic governor for exercising emergency powers that are right there in Michigan’s constitution?

Also predicted Schwarzenegger getting into politics - he was president in the movie.
