Are you really comparing Sean Spicer, a buffoonish mouthpiece, to Jeffrey Dahmer?

A film by M. Night Shyamalan

Yeah, it was stupid and selfish for Spicer to accept a job with Trump. However, I do empathize when those who make stupid and selfish mistakes find themselves in the Rancor pit.

Fair enough. I guess it's more a matter of empathy than pity.

I'd liken it to watching someone in a horror movie attempt to use a cursed artifact for their own gain and then be undone by it. Yeah, it's a stupid thing to do and the bastard may have had it coming but, man, what a rough way to go.

"One more question from the Washington Post, Sean?"

To be fair, destroying the world sounds like a lot of work.

I'll agree up to a certain point. Someone can know, intellectually, that something will be "stressful" or "thankless". But knowing just what a blender of batshit crazy this has become is a consequence of hindsight.

I don't sympathize with his behavior, but I do feel for how the guy had abuse heaped upon him by Trump. For example, as devout Catholic, Spicer was really excited at the prospect of meeting with the Pope. So Trump made sure to exclude him over some perceived slight.

Trump allies himself with your country's fascist elements. Hilarity ensues.

I'm on tenterhooks — will that painting of K'un Lun ever return to the backdrop?

Suddenly doesn't sound so modest.

Doesn't O'l Gil deserve a lick at that brass ring?

Russian mafia, yes. Don't know of an instance with the New York mafia.

Ooo! Or a bodice ripper with himself as the bare-chested scoundrel on the cover illustration!

Beat the Melting Clock!

It was an accident in the lab while he was studying the thing humans call "love".

I picked up Nameless and while back and was fairly non-plussed. The horror elements were spot on but the story itself was just wig-out weird for the sake of weirdness.

Finished J. D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy a couple of weeks ago and I've been trying to get into Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature. I'm a few chapters in and, while I find the subject interesting and the book looks to be exhaustively researched, it may be one I don't renew once the library calls for it…
