24 had that problem a lot. A plane explodes, or a nuclear bomb goes off, and a few hours later the media has forgotten about it.

There was an article (probably on Cracked) pointing out that if the rabbit-people-families in Zootopia typically have dozens of children, they must have kept their population in check until that point by the majority of them being eaten by the carnivore-people.

If you take control of the TV broadcasting system, you should at least threaten to destroy the city. That's just common courtesy.

I'm the manager. I think I see what the problem is here. Jonathan, your attendance over the last twenty years has been abysmal. You're fired!

If Trump had been around in Hamilton's day, everyone would be challenging him to duels. "You insulted my father! I demand satisfaction!"

I played it on Amiga. All you needed was a friend with an Amiga who could bring over his mouse, and then you plugged that into the joystick port.

I think I'm one of the few people who played the original Lemmings two player. To do this, you needed a second mouse plugged into the same computer, which has never been a normal thing to have.

WRONG!

There are lots of people who will still sneer at science fiction / fantasy (if that's what we mean by non-realistic here) outside our pop-culture bubble.
From an article about serial killers and school shooters in the London Review of Books: "Like all beta males, Rodger began to live a life outside of himself, or

Most historians agree that President Harding was our first jagoff president. Trump would just be the first one to be openly jagoff, since we're more tolerant of jagoffs now than we were a hundred years ago.
