Oh, geez. I stepped away from comics a few years back but always liked Carlos’ stuff; gutted to hear that about him.

It became a nostalgia account for it's own old tweets

I honestly would have figured it was a bot at this point, pulling from a pre-filled out list of Simpsons quotes and associated pictures drawn from the Frinkiac database. 

I was not into Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher at all. To me, she seemed to have exactly two expressions: simpering and “my dog is openly shitting on my carpet” exasperation.

right wing members of the Liberal Party.

For background for any non-Australian readers who don’t know, our Liberal Party are our conservatives and aren’t liberal; our other party who oppose them are called the Labor who spell it the American way and not ‘labour’ which is how we spell it in just about every other context referring to labour not Labor.

I consider myself a bleeding heart liberal and I think Yellowstone is great. It’s Succession set in the West. Not everything needs to be political.

As an asexual, I really do have to ask: is this really the kind of thing you people want to do all the time? Because stop it, now.

The cycle of being a film fan: “Spielberg is great!” to “Spielberg is overrated blockbuster sentimentality, I only watch art films” to “Spielberg is a talented director”

I have an app courtesy of the Australian government which shows that I’m vaccinated and I had to show my status on the way out of the country recently.

They had no right to make John Major sexy.

A gimmick commentor? In this economy?

For what it’s worth, I donate hundreds of dollars a month to things like Oxfam providing clean drinking water and the Fred Hollows foundation to treat curable blindness.

I liked the first season a lot, but the second was a complete and utter nonsense, and I didn’t even bother with the last two seasons. I heard they were even more nonsensical. It’s another mystery box kind of show that where the creators thought they were much smarter than they actually were.

Now that there’s no more Westworld... time for Questworld!

You didn’t miss much on TNG... Geordi pining after holographic women, Reginald Barclay pining after... holographic women. Captain Picard pining after... you know what, you get it - typical teenage drama tropes.

I’ll drive.
