What an amazing twist. I am having a hard time thinking of another that was both as consequential and as well done. And I needed that this week. I hope this show gets renewed, and becomes a story about finding hope in unlikely places even in the face of malevolent and powerful jerks.

Do you also feel guilty for liking pizza, chocolate, sunshine, and puppies?

It gets better.

This was in 2008, so we're good going to movies these days.

Baby Bear is the fucking worst. His speech impediment isn't even consistent.

We took our four-month-old daughter to a Sunday morning screening of Iron Man. It was great.

Also someone with literally no knowledge of or curiosity about the world and how it works. Trump does not read and has no interest in history and generally believes whoever he last talked to must be right.

For all of, what, four years?

Was Alito an improvement?

This looks like somebody's last known photograph.

Remember when Carson was a respected surgeon with an inspiring biography? Then he ran for president and turned out to be insane. Moral of the story: Don't run for president, kids.

I remain baffled that it was Deadpool, out of all of the X-Media of the 21st century, that gave us the best live-action attempt at an original X-Men uniform.

Fry should have played House's smarter older brother.

Tacoma Narrows?

Billy on the Macadam!
