Came here for the Blues Brothers reference.  Was not disappoined. 

They need to just condense both series into Heroes for Hire, get a D'Nofrio-quality main villain and run with it from there.

Exactly. If the election comes down to a candidate that’s kind of ok-ish and another that’s diametrically opposed to everything you care about, and you take your ball and go home because neither is what you really, really wanted...that leaves you with precisely *zero* room to bitch when the candidate that hates your…

“Bombshell” is a bit of a stretch. He’s accusing the president of something people already widely suspect. But without any evidence or corroborating testimony... it’s basically just the word of one dirtbag desperate to save his own hide against the word of another dirtbag desperate to save his own hide.

Are their dipshit viewpoints harmless nonsense about the Earth being flat, or that becoming a social media”influencer” is a legitimate long-term career choice? Or do they involve rolling back 60 years’ worth of civil rights, gender equality, environmental and consumer protection regulations?

That was the Achilles’s heel of Moto’s “unbreakable” displays on the Droid Turbo and Z Force. Sure, the display was stronger than the rest of the phone around them. But without a screen protector, they could become a hideous, scratched up mess within a couple months of routine use.

While I’m sure the off-the-shelf intent of the chip is pretty innocuous, I don’t know how well Adidas’ belief that it’s tamper-proof has actually been tested. The combined resourses and knowledge of the Russian intelligence and security apparatus with a single shot to plant a bug in the president’s office would…

I find that binging British dramas on Amazon Prime until late at night and then tossing back a double of cheap Scotch keeps the nightmares to a minimum.  Getting out of bed for work the next day sucks, but it isnt anything half a pot of coffee and 45 minutes in traffic re-evaluating your choices in life can't overcome.

I will never understand the Trumpster’s decorating sense. Even if I was legit a multi-billionaire, I could never say “Let’s bedazzle the sitting room completely in 24k gold and precious jewels!” with a straight face. Seriously, isn’t having a McMansion-sized penthouse in Manhattan already an ostentatious enough…

Yeah. The words “higher taxes” inspire so much irrational fear in so many people.  Maybe it really is about re-framing the discussion with different words to get over that hump.

I try to explain that concept to people, but they just don’t get it. Yes, your taxes will go up to make it happen. But you don’t need health insurance anymore if the entire system has gone single-payer, so the net increase isn’t as dramatic as people make it sound. Plus, you never have to say, “I should probably get…

It’s like we’re inching down toward the something like the Doctor Who episode “Extremis”, where people start committing mass suicide because they realize they’re just components of a computer simulation and not actually real.

Very true. Though, the $ aspect comes into play when the individual in question has bills to pay, mouths to feed and no job to do either while that mess is being worked out. The lawyer might be on the union’s payroll, but that's one of their problems at that point.

Once you get outside Philly and Pittsburgh...most of rural/small town PA is basically just West Virginia with better diner food.

It’s hard to have much stomach for a fight over collective bargaining when you’re 2 missed paychecks away from sleeping in your car at night. You can’t be fired specifically for organizing, but they can fire you for anything and everything else that isn’t directly part of being in a protected class.

Looks like someone had a change of heart toward the end of their summer internship with the network and decided to go out with a bang instead of a whimper.

It sounds like some kind of villainous comic book organization, akin to Hydra or The Hand.

Yeah, I don’t think Roseanne had crossed my mind since her show went off the air the first time.

Once the Disney/Fox deal wraps up, I can see them doing a super-trippy C&D/Legion crossover, maybe set around Mardi Gras or Halloween in NOLA.

I dunno...I get a more “Nobody dies today!” fish-out-of-water Ninth Doctor kind of vibe from her.
