The thing that haunts me about this show is a question that we’ll never get to see answered. What if Jimmy had been mentored by Chuck and Howard when he got his law degree? He was on the straight and narrow when he worked at HHM, and he took no short-cuts to getting his degree. There were no slips. I know the joke is

It’s a metaphor for dickheads who don’t live in NYC full-time, who come here as students or in their first year of living on their own, trashing the place. 

You’re very welcome! If any of this is useful for your own writing please use it as you see fit!

Hi, I wrote something in the hope that pop culture writers and fans of the MCU would understand some things about Sam Wilson’s background, because I think most audiences don’t realize that Sam Wilson is a special forces soldier (using common civilian language).

When Sam Wilson said he was in the 58th Pararescue, I

I got a Farberware FDW05ASBWHA Complete Portable Countertop Dishwasher on sale for less than $200 and it was worth it. I got a sink attachment to divert water from the faucet, but you don’t have to do that; you can just pour the water directly into the Dishwasher. It works great, has a surprising amount of capacity,

This is child slavery.

I guess Veidt could mean that he’s recording the TVs. But it also could mean he’s recording a video where he confesses, because he needs a future President to carry on with the plan he outlined.

I think the number one reason it makes sense that Veidt would record a video is that he’s crazy. I mean, he hired someone to

I wonder how the other esports areas are doing, like drone racing, or robot fighting? I know that various venture capital companies were investing in those kinds of companies this year.

If WeWork is investing in, “Place to put computers to host console or pc game tournaments,” that makes zero sense. But if WeWork, via

I started working when I was 9 years old (which sounds like the start of a comedy routine, but I got paychecks and everything), and by the time I was 16, I was able to buy my own car. I bought a used 1984 Buick Regal T-Type, with room for the Grand National intercooler in the engine. I swapped out the control chip for

Of course they would make the KGB the heroes, Putin was in the KGB. The Russian oligarchy is all run by former KGB staff, so, of course they would do this. Russia’s economic and political system has evolved into the worst of American capitalism combined with the worst of the Soviet system; endless lying and cover-ups.

Holy crap, so many things make so much sense now.

It means that 0.1762% of the people who watched the show on Sunday were upset enough to create a change.org petition to change the show. Assuming all the people watching actually watch the show, and are humans.

I hope someday that my art is popular enough that people on the Internet create a change.org petition about how awful it is.

Stories like this remind me that there’s still a lot of people who can look at an injustice and, “well, actually,” their way out of believing they witnessed an injustice. Best if those, “well, actually,” types are not in positions to make those judgements.

I hope this is what they do, because it’s kind of a sly metacommentary on how characters in comics can be in high school for more than a decade. 

I like the movie, but the stuff with Cap is bugging me.

So, Steve Rogers goes back in time to be with Peggy Carter. Great! But, does this mean the events of Agent Carter didn’t happen? Like, Peggy Carter went through a really cool story arc in that series (that was cut too short!). Does that mean none of it happened?

I think the show put Tyrion in a place where he’s ready to have a mini-arc, that goes to his overall character arc from the show. Essentially, as the show has gone on, Tyrion has become more of a drunk season by season, and there’s been a loss of his faculties as a result. The best example of this was Tyrion getting

It sounds like you’re more interested in ‘punishing’ for some perception of being overcharged on tips. But I’ll assume, no, it’s really about trying to get people higher wages.

Perhaps the thing to do is to tip people at least 20%, while simultaneously working to get them higher wages?

Please let us know how that

These conversations about Yang’s UBI proposal and how he’ll pay for it are too vague. He’s been pretty clear on a few points about this.

First, it’s not really a Universal Basic Income for every citizen. According to his supporters and his website, it’s for adults in the U.S. (18 and over). Also, if you’re in poverty

I’m not being snarky, but, why not just mix mayo and ketchup yourself?

Who’s this for?

Separate note -- if you have an immersion blender, Mayonnaise is one of the easiest sauces in the world to make. I haven’t bought mayonnaise at the store in years now.
