The moon has been very slowly spiraling farther away from the Earth for hundreds of millions of years, so I doubt that there has been observable change during the 200,000 years that Homo sapiens has existed.

French filmmakers used to call that blue filter trick "la nuit americaine" - "American night". There's an amusing Truffaut film called Day for Night that is named after it.

Every time I go to my local Trader Joe's I drive past a clothing store called "Casual Male XL". I always chuckle and think, "See, if Dikachu or idiotking were here, they would think the name of that place was funny too."

Don't put your finger in there! You don't know where that finger has been!

Some personal favorites:

In the year 2000, in the year 2000…

This is just like when some idiot tried to proclaim Depeche Mode as the "official band of the alt-right" just because they happened to be his favorite band. Did that guy ever actually listen to the lyrics to "People Are People", their biggest hit?

I'm sure that off-brand birthday song was written expressly so they wouldn't have to pay any royalties to the rights holders of the "real" birthday song.

We need Leo DiCaprio to get the gang back together and "incept" this idea into his head.

As much as I love NASA and the space program, it always irks me when people pretend that space colonies are some kind of viable alternative to solving our problems here on Earth. Space colonies would be ruinously expensive (the main reason why no one has ever built any), extremely hazardous to the colonists'…

Songs no one has yet mentioned:

Arco Iris de Leer: the non-union Mexican equivalent.

There is one major downside to Ike: the CIA coup in Iran. Overthrowing Mossadegh and backing absolute monarchy led eventually to Khomeini's rise to power and all sorts of nasty blowback (Iran-Iraq War leads to Gulf Wars I & II, terrorism & counter-terrorism, Sunni extremism reacting to Shia extremism, etc).

All true, but remember that time when the generals wanted to turn the Cuban Missile Crisis into Dubya Dubya Three, and he wouldn't let them? I'd say that gives him a free pass pretty much forever.

Something occurred to me. Kim Jong-Un didn't earn his position, he was anointed leader. He's never worked a day in his life. Everything was handed to him on a silver platter. People have been kissing his ass and currying favor with him ever since he was old enough to walk and talk. You would think that would be…

It's a common alt-right attempt at "humor".

That is amazing if true. Apparently thousands and thousands of people come here only to look at Newswires and what's left of TV reviews, nothing else? Baffling.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Comment sections on fire off the shoulder of Savage Love. I watched Community notifications glitter in the dark near the TV Club. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Hanlon's Razor:

The commenters are generating FREE CONTENT for the site and much of that is far more entertaining than the rather thin gruel being served up by what's left of the writing staff. How obtuse does management have to be to drive that away to meet some vague corporate goal of standardizing across all sites?
