Nostalgia’s a helluva drug. I’ve done my best to try to avoid it, but we all like that hit from time to time.

I mean, to be fair, the beginnings of most movies with sequels don’t actually start by being titled, say “Back to the Future Part 1.”

The Fellowship of the Ring, for example, wasn’t titled “Lord of the Rings 1: The Fellowship of the Ring” if it mentioned Lord of the Rings at all, it didn’t imply a number, it just stood on its own. People knew sequels were coming, they didn’t need numbers to know that.

So to be fair to Wicked, naming it something like Wicked Part One is dumb anyway. Especially if it flops and they shelve the sequel for a tax break.

Damn, this hits so fucking hard. It’s just a hard truth. Put simply and straightforward, in a way that’s inarguable.

I realized that while I prepared him for Vice President Harris winning, I did not prepare him for her losing. I’m not sure I even prepared myself. It’s like having a doctor telling you to prepare for the death of a loved one. What does that even mean or entail?

I mean, that’s on you, in all brutal honesty. Even the death of a loved one is something you can plan for, despite how difficult it may be.

Sometimes, you can tell when people haven’t faced real hardship, because they’ve made almost no effort to accept that hardship is a thing that is possible to have happen.

The Republicans have been trying to gut Social Security for my entire life, and so I always told my disabled partner she needed to be pursuing education while being on disability to ensure that when they finally succeeded she would have a plan to fall back on, and if in the best case scenario where she kept her disability, she got the bonus of an education. Looks like getting those degrees was the right idea, because there’s a high likelihood of that cut to her disability is coming.

Always hope the best but prepare for the worst. Because “hope” isn’t enough. It’s out there with “thoughts and prayers” in terms of usefulness. Hope is important, but hanging your future on it is a gamble.

Only Weird Al could turn something by Diddy into something good.

100 gigabytes of RAM is still a lot of RAM, well done Al.

He says this and yet jumps to Bluesky, a platform created by Jack Dorsey and now owned and managed by a crypto bro?

It seems so malicious.

I guess he was being honest about all that revenge talk, eh? I mean, it is actively and onerously malicious, but just like last time, everyone’s just gonna let Trump steamroll them, because the federal government has long had hesitance to hold figures like presidents, senators, and supreme court justices to account, and this is just an extension of that.

I mean, we didn’t prosecute Bush and Cheney for war crimes. Hillary Clinton was proud of her friendship with Henry Kissinger. Kamala Harris was proud of her endorsement by Dick Cheney.

“It’s a big club and we ain’t in it,” but Trump and co. don’t feel the need to put up the facade anymore.

Oh poor Frodo.

Some classic internet, that’s what.

Alternately it could be called “Frodo dubbed over”

Not many other shows can count a January 6th rioter as one of their main cast and writers… but Mr. Show can!

“Jay Johnston known for his roles on Mr. Show, Bob’s Burgers, and in the January 6th insurrection…”

They’re literally idiots who want to tear down everything that makes US as a society function at all.

They don’t care because they can just skip to another country when they’re done bleeding us dry. It’s why Musk is stepping up to Europe, he needs somewhere to go when the last American worker falls and he hates black people so he can’t realistically go back to Africa.

Hey y’all, this one is an Apple user!

…but that’s a good thing because Apple is certified UNIX.

George said it before the Joker.

According to Scott Aukerman, this is actually very representative of how Bob looks when he’s reading over your comedy script before telling you it’s not funny.

I think my favorite thing about Bob is how seriously he takes comedy.

Don’t drink green potions.

No Child Left Behind

Thank you for being considerate of your friends mental state. Not enough people stop to think about things like this. Thank you.

Look, they don’t give a damn about actually following their own philosophies so let’s drop the tired gotchas. They don’t give a flying fuck about the gotchas.

We are really letting the right wing dictate the nature of reality with bullshit takes like this.

That you need one single leader to solve it all is a conservative position. That you need many people working together is a leftist position.

When you try to hit them with this gotcha you’re actually affirming their beliefs in singular strongmen and are normalizing it for the left.

Cooperation shouldn’t be vilified. Cooperation isn’t a joke.

Wow, rude.
