Thank you for pulling back the curtain (further) on one of the most insidious tentacles of American capitalism. As a military veteran who's extremely fortunate to not be suffering from PTSD (at least as far as I know), I will NEVER bemoan anyone's decision to extricate themselves from a physically and/or mentally…

One of the most traumatic things I have ever experienced/frequently re-experience is walking into Costco, into a seething wall of enormous TVs with motion interpolation turned on. I end up destroying 3 or 4 TVs every single time. I currently owe Costco $350,000. But I’m slowly working off my debt as a member of the…

It, not baseball, is the truly American sport.

Unfortunately, research is showing us that Football is detrimental to your health even before you make a single dime. Like, High School early:

The default, basest fandom for all sports is “I want to win win win and if you do something that makes winning less likely then FUCK YOU!”

I guess you could say Indy's luck has........run out.

Dearest Mother,

Rise of Skywalker better be good. It would look real bad if the TV shows outshined the main movies. So far Mandalorian looks great.

This looks expensive as hell. Disney is spending ALL of the monies!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It’s like Disney has a limitless amount of mics to drop. 

Tench mentioned later it was a “shitty fish sandwich”.
