I guess my purchase of this shirt a few weeks ago was prophetic, and may actually constitute a real world PSA:

You just fundamentally don’t understand the concept of how to act in public. Save the selfies for your bathroom mirror.

I spent 15 years traveling internationally for work, asking people to take pictures on my weekend sightseeing outings, and never once had a device stolen under those circumstances.

Whatever happened to, you know, *asking another nearby human to take a picture of you*?! Every picture I have of me (at the Taj Mahal, at the Pyramids, in the Valley of the Kings, in Jerusalem, in Nice, in Moscow, in Sydney, and another 25 exotic places which are arguably more desirable a locale than some random…

I read a short story thirty years ago with human photosynthesis as its primary premise. Scientist goes to Africa and turns a village into photosynthetic humans (complete with green skin), and world hunger is solved.

Anybody else a charter citizen of The Principality of New Utopia? Just me? Ok, nevermind...

Ironically, bullshit would itself be considered a natural ingredient.

Reagan's foreign policy was designed specifically to starve the USSR of resources and international support, and it was successful. Anybody paying attention at the time would have seen the collapse coming (if not a specific date; I think it probably happened faster than anybody thought, but it was obviously coming).

Gotta give the Castro regime some credit. They've found a way to have somebody else pay for and run an island Internet, and they voluntarily police themselves from any anti-government activity. Brilliant!

You win wars by removing the enemy's will to fight.

Things went to crap after Zahi Hawass was booted from the Ministry of Antiquities.

All of you damn get-off-my-lawners fail to remember the shitstorm that ensued over the original fruit iMacs being shipped without floppy drives. Probably because you were in diapers...

You'll live. It happened in '98 and the world didn't end. It won't this time, either.

I just blew $100 on the complete Calvin & Hobbes in hardcover for Xmas for my kids.
