I assume he was joking.  I’ve seen Nicole Kidman in line at a coffee shop and she had to wait like everyone else.

Does this mean that for a short while, Kevin Bacon was one degree of Kevin Bacon away from Kevin Bacon?

Just pretend the book title is “THE LOTTERY AND OTHER STORIES” with the “AND OTHER STORIES” in really tiny type the the sweatshop Koreans couldn’t drawn into the animation. 

I realize this is missing the point of the joke, but “The Lottery” was a short story only a few pages long. It always annoyed me to see this scene because it makes it look like it was a whole novel that would be an entire book.

The people of Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” didn’t gather in the square between the post office and the bank around ten o’clock on June 27th just for Awkwafina to bastardize their holy tradition 70 years later.

Yup.

Last night. That’s why it’s so hard for people to see. Also, a LOT OF PEOPLE want American democracy to be over. And they’re being less and less coy about it. Now that it’s being used more and more to serve people who aren’t them, they are done with it and want everything burned down. Because people, by and large, are…

There’s a strong scent of nihilism in the current air. Also, people aren’t offered solutions to the many looming and ongoing crises (or rather ones where they don’t have to move out of their comfort zone), so a win for them becomes less about improving the future and more about making it worse for the people they hate.

You’re right that Biden’s biggest selling point is “the alternative to absolute fucking armageddon” and... that’s not much. I held my nose and voted for him. I’ll do it again.

If Trump gets back in to the White House, American democracy is over.

From your lips to the old Democrat guard’s ear. I fear we’re stuck with Biden until he literally keels over.

I hate to say that I feel the same way. Biden had such a low, low bar and missed it. Beyond the delivery, the answers were all over the place even accounting for the stumbles and mistakes (there were many) there was little substance to the answers. trump bloviated like the lying asshole he is, but he at least seemed…

I really, really wanted Biden to show up for this debate. I did tune out right before the final half-hour, so there’s a possibility I missed the point in the debate where he curved his arm in front of him and launched a fireball at Trump while shouting “Hadoken!”, but, from the reporting, I think he just carried on…

That went worse than I even considered, and I’m a pretty negative guy.

I’m late to the party here but I just wanted to say fuck this asshole and fuck all of these ignorant, hate-filled traitors that worship Trump and believe his lies.

No need to worry about the dismal health care, once we deregulate everything more people will just die at work/going about their daily routines so they won’t even need healthcare. Checkmate.

I remember thinking when I saw him on Sarah Silverman that he seemed a little too good at playing a square authoritarian figure for someone who works in comedy.

Still so bummed about this. He was my favorite Mr Show cast member, and I always loved seeing him crop up on shows here and there. MAGA is a helluva drug. 

Was he as good on “The Sarah Silverman Project” as he was on “The Sarah Silverman Program?”
