Two Chryslers, built within one year of each other, both full-size luxury cars, a 2004 Concorde and a 2005 300:

That’s funny, because my dad also criticizes my chosen profession—spending all my money on lottery tickets. He—and a lot of other old, bitter guys who poured all their money into lottery tickets and now have nothing to show for it—said I should do something more likely to yield results, but they just don’t understand…

I never understood the shock that, they say, accompanied Ned Stark’s death. I never read the books, only watched the show, but it just seemed to followed inevitably from the situation they were setting up. By the 8th or 9th episode of season 1, they developed a situation where, if Ned lives, the conflicts are…

So it’s just another way for Trump to sell cheaply-made, overpriced merchandise to his dumb fans. Oh wait, that’s redundant. I meant, “to his fans.”

Democrats are as bad as slavery, and also slavery wasn’t that bad—in fact, it was pretty good, the slaves got taken care of, got food, medical care, etc.—so does that mean Democrats are actually pretty good?

Now the twitters avatars can be this eagle:

It’s a major disappointment that they didn’t go with the results of an internet poll, cuz imagine how great it would be if ships had always been named that way. On your Hawaiian vacation you could stop at the USS Deez Nuts Memorial. If you were in England you’d see Nelson’s flagship, the HMS Silent but Deadly Fart. …

Well of course, this was 1965 self-driving technology. No doubt they’re a lot better at it today. I’m sure we’ll have self-driving cars zipping all over the place in 2016...2017... 2018... 2019. Yes, definitely in 2019, because that’s one greater than the current year.  

If you want more replies, I recommend four simple words:

I was hoping “the power of weak ties” was gonna be about something more like this:

Yeah, but now my public library’s website has user reviews.  Hooray, now there’s even more places where I can read that The Last Jedi is “objectively bad”!  

But was it better or worse than one of the top 20 movies made since 1992, Woody Allen’s “Anything Else,” starring the kid from “American Pie,” according to... *squints at notes* Quentin Tarantino?!?!?!

“Okay, let’s brainstorm. It’s the post-apocalypse, and all of the survivors live on... uh... a train. That has to keep going all the time because... well, it just does. The train has a perpetual-motion machine for an engine, but all its other parts, and the technology that the people have, are modern stuff left…

Tarantino used to make a big deal out of how Hollywood casting agents have a list of the top actors at any given time, not just for the star-parts but basically for every part, and that’s why you often see the same small group of actors repeatedly, but by virtue of his extensive film-viewing experience and memory, he…

Science fiction should be apolitical, like it was back in the good old days, e.g., Starship Troopers, The Sheep Look Up, Pirates of Venus, Looking Backward, The Battle of Dorking, Aelita Queen of Mars. No political ideas in those!

SHS had a dream of an America where people are judged not by the content of their character, but by the color of their skins.  

Can you loan me $10,000?  

The idea that you’ll regret your inactions but not your actions is the product of a cognitive illusion created by fading memories. In the moment, when you’re considering some action, if you ultimately refrain from it, it’s usually because there are good reasons not to refrain. Like, you wanted to ask that girl out,…

When they get rid of the two-party system, are they also going to make it so that more than one person can be president at the same time?  

Yeah, I guess I should go ahead and kill that guy in my office who annoys me, I wouldn’t want to have any regrets over something I didn’t do.
