Even in the world of 2023, that shooting would probably be justified. Even though Mansell didn’t end up pulling, he broke into a home after murdering a bunch of people, was thought to be armed, and then reached for something in his waistband area.

OMITB makes me crave more cross-generational casts that aren’t necessarily familial. Selena Gomez isn’t even the 100th person I would have selected as a perfect scene partner for two boomer comedy legends but it works so damn well. It’s good that people called out the post but it’s pretty clear from Gomez’s collective…

Exactly.  Excellent analogy.

Or maybe changing the license plate to alien letters in comic sans and randomly buy up broken down cars on the side of the road and have them picked up and towed  to the junkyard?

We can look at Donald Trump comparing his indictment for trying to overturn the 2020 election with nine black teenagers wrongfully accused and convicted for raping two white women in 1931. suggesting the death penalty five POC teenagers in a full page ad.

Tell them that he played the same role that the guy who played Elvis is going to play in “Dune 2" when it wss made by the guy who made “Mulholland Drive.” I’m sure that will clear everything right up.

Man, Kinja’s crumbling like the House of Usher the past few days. Guess we have to use manual quote marks like goddamn savages now.

The only thing I would add is that Nixon didn’t have a stranglehold on a majority of the media outlets, as well. Trump has the media running interference for hand to hand with Congress. But yeah, we saw in the debates, the people that are supposed to beat him don’t want to challenge him. It’s insane where they are as…

See, you have VALID REASONS.

There’s a rather large “Florida Memes” group on FB.

It’s better than what we currently do. Most readers of this site are likely well aware of how easy it is to get a license and then how much easier it is to keep it.

So Detroiters name their hot dog creations after Coney Island and their drinks after Boston.  They must really hate being in Detroit.

Doon was okay, but I really liked National Lampoon’s earlier parody, Bored of the Rings. I think both books really influenced the humor of the the 1970s/1980s such as the absurdist humor of the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker movies/shows like Airplane!, Top Secret!, Police Squad, and the Naked Gun series.

The religion was literally created to be co-opted, just by and for the Bene Gesserit. That’s literally the job of the Missionaria Protectiva. That probably makes it worse, not better. It’s really just another thing that they created specifically to gain power and control that backfires on them, like the Kwisatz…

My first thought too. All the faces he practiced and tried for hours and, being a moron, he went with “constipated rhino”.

He tried to explain to the GOP how they had misunderstood the song, but they couldn’t hear him over “YMCA,” “Rockin’ in the Free World,” and “Fortunate Son.”

I’m not sure I’d want to be 10 years old again.

I think CEO pay is worth a talk, but not just for union shops.  The way that CEO pay is made and how they determine bonuses and the like is divorced from reality.  The fact that the board of directors, which are all CEOs of other companies set the pay of the CEO and that that guy/gal votes on the pay of the people…

Sunk cost. They have invested so much time that they feel it will be all for nothing. The joke’s on them because it was always for nothing.
