I really wish I'd known about Eric Andre when his show was happening. I was completely unaware of him for some reason. He seems like a righteous dude.

I'm cashing you out, Bob.

Now that's pod racing!

Oh, if it's a "longstanding tradition", that must make it a-okay.

The original sketch of the Alien Facehugger, done in an almost comically simple style. First figure is an upright oval with a circle on the upper portion. Second figure the circle has popped off (indicated by an arrow) and a creature is launching out of the hole (indicated by another arrow). The creature looks like a circle with six thick curved legs and a cartoonist toothy frowny face.

I keep coming back to the original first draft Alien facehugger sketch. If you can start with that and end up with one of the most iconic designs in horror movie history, then there's no excuse for AI.

A beat-up looking screenplay with a pale blue cover, triangular sticker that says “the star wars” and a scribbled black signature at bottom near right (Carrie Fisher). Below, text says “Lot 240: 1976 Star Wars A New Hope 4th Draft Signed Script”

Also, where those decision-makers could be found.

trolley problem diagram, with Sisyhpus pushing his boulder as the trolley car, and text that reads: Sisyphus is rolling a boluder towards the Grand Hilbert Hotel. The hotel has an infinite number of rooms, but they are all full, so they may not be able to accomodate him or his boulder. If you choose to divert him, his boulder will destroy the Ship of Theseus. But the ship has had all of its constituent parts replaced, so it may not actually be the same ship. Is Sisyphus happy?

a question for the ages, really.

so, we're keeping our objectives limited to regime change, assassinating their entire gov't, choosing their next leader, destroying their uranium enrichment program, encouraging a popular revolution, encouraging a kurdish insurgency, and blowing up girls schools. got it.

All these Democrats voted to support Trump's pointless war in big part because you all still respect troops. Even a lot of the lefties among you kind of respect a troop. Stop respecting a troop.
