The 2016 election was decided by fewer than the 800,000 people affected by the shutdown. The longer this goes on, the greater the chances that those 800,000 people (and their families, friends, etc.) decide the next one.

It probably should have said “Ripped from three different headlines and jammed into one bonkers story”.

There are 14 books in the series*. That kind of blows my mind.

Look, Time magazine not picking you for their Person of the Year is no reason to hold a grudge, Mariah.

Ignoring that nomination makes the point even stronger!!!

Tropical Fuck Storm are great, as were The Drones (from whose ashes they rose, sort of) before them. And the album is pretty great also.

It seems like a “well, we have to release something into theaters in January...” type of release.

Clickhole got there first:

I checked their bandcamp site (monoofjapan.bandcamp.com) and it turns out the pair of albums I was thinking of were from 2014. There was an album in 2016 but nothing last year. I must have only heard about the pair last year— they’d fallen off my radar for a while.

Didn’t Mono just release two albums last year?

“Sorry Charles, you were standing an inch to the left of where you were in the matching shot, so we gotta do it again. Charles? Wake up, buddy.”

How about Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks? Sure, in their 90s, but they’re still around.

Rudy going in for the high-five and immediately falling over was what did it for me.

Yeah, my first thought reading through the list was “So, rock is dead, huh.”

The Favourite has a lot of comedy in it, but I don’t know if I would necessarily classify it as a ‘comedy’.

That’s what would’ve made it funny!

And the moment just before handing the note over— overcome with emotion, then— like a switch was flipped— business-like with the business of the handover.
