Me and my sister were watching it and at the part where the mom is like "I wish YOU had died in the crash instead!" to the kid and then her ghost husband shows up and is really hot, we were like heh, yeah join the club bruv

Yeah it sounded really really good

I thought it was odd that Doc Hayward says that he can't remember what he had for breakfast that morning and then later proceeds to recite his breakfast in loving detail

The names thing is so weird. Janey-E reminds me of Axxon-N from Inland Empire in that nothing and nobody is named that. And the weird infantilizing: no grown-ass man is called Dougie, and Sunny/Sonny Jim wouldn't be a thing you call a child in this century at least

Did she… see him? She turned around enough to the point where it looked like she would have seen a dark shadow demon in her peripheral vision, but she didn't react at all. Very creepy

Yeah, I remember thinking "what the hell type of game is that where you run a short time, stop, and the other person catches up to you?" I guess my brain figured out that it was bizarro-tag before I did, which made the whole thing feel so off-kilter.

This is crazy to me since I've mostly managed to avoid it. Jiffy Lube, the gym, hotel lobbies, the airport… all ESPN, HSN or local news. It's actually jarring on the rare events that I've seen it in a public space, like "who thought this was a good idea"? I live in Fake America though even in redder places I don't

The Pale King is easier to read than Infinite Jest IMO. And it's also really good - that passage about that one IRS analyst's dad's death messed me up for awhile. Dude could fucking write

Okay that's sad and all but I cracked up at that Lowe's comment

This is so great and I totally agree with you. I'd add that as a horror/David Lynch buff, IJ contains some of the most straight-up petrifying imagery I've ever encountered (James Incandenza and the microwave; the depiction of Marathe's wife; the Wraith's appearance to Don Gately in the hospital; Kate Gompert's

I wanna live in that universe!

This sounds good and I look forward to trying the recipe.

Makes me think of Dennis Duffy on 30 Rock. "Politics: fiscally liberal, socially conservative"

The video seems to be inspired a bit by the Centrifuge Brain Project:

They may or may not have a justice system!

Even though in a rational world the GOP would never be able to use the experience card ever, ever again, I'm worried that the Dems will let them anyway cause they are fucking awful at messaging. People bringing up Kamala Harris in 2020 like she's too green and I'm like: DO YOU NOT SEE WHAT'S IN THE WHITE HOUSE NOW!

It bears repeating: Paul Ryan is the biggest piece of shit in the known universe.

That is cooler than the time I saw Justin Timberlake at the Tacoma Dome

I don't read his Tweets because I value what little sanity I have left but I often think what if Twitter just… ended? I think there's no question anymore that it is a net negative on humanity as Turmp could not exist without it. Maybe he'd find another platform but I doubt he would be as successful.

A person who brought delight to the world lived to a ripe old age? Well now I've heard everything!
