STRONG THIEF: Man, this Hieronymus Bosch is heavy! SAVVY THIEF: That's because he deals with man's inclination towards sin, in defiance of God's will. STRONG THIEF: I didn't mean it like that. SAVVY THIEF: Oh. Volcano (1997), Thief (1981)
Volcano (1997)
A caricature of 80s and 90s pop star Madonna. Whatever else happened later, whatever else Madonna became—and she became many things—Jack remembers her best from Danceteria in 1982. She’d crash the club and convince DJs to play her demos. God she was bad, he remembers, but so good at being bad.

Simpsons screencap. A father, his face overlaid with the box of Silent Service II slaps his son, face overlaid with the box of Codename ICEMAN, and says "Now that's how you make a submarine Sim!"
*slap*
a nice thing about when the internet was a bunch of little sites and servers was that it was a lot harder for governments to pressure "the chat provider everyone uses" to implement age verification.
you wanna pressure 300 separate IRC servers? good luck with that. but one company? easy

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9
This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.
This one was a genuine rabbit hole, very fun to research and write. I did not expect "underwater basket weaving" to connect to basically every social issue of the mid 20th century
Ah yes, "Dueling Banjos" from that greatest of cinematic romances, _Deliverance_

Need a time machine so this guy can be Michael in a live-action Maniac Mansion film
Good times for French sci-fi animated movie.

Superman Raisins (1982-1986): Snack-sized boxes of raisins, bearing the image and likeness of the Man of Steel, who could be seen on every box dumping a presumably gargantuan barrel of football-sized raisins onto a seemingly endless raisin horde, located in an empty, peach-colored void

The Dilbert cartoon was pretty good though, maybe because Adams only worked on it part-time.
This was a really interesting read and not just because I, too, used to obessively re-read Dilbert and Dave Barry hoping to crack the secret code of comedy.
Tweet exchange in which a photo of Anne Hathaway is posted by @TheRoyalSerf, to which user @VvSchweetz24 replies "@grok...do your thing. @Grok replies: Anne Hathaway isn't Jewish; she was raised Catholic but left the church. She married Adam Shulman (who is Jewish) in 2012 and celebrates Jewish holidays with their kids. SHe's played Jewish roles, like in "Armageddon Time."
pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

I'm definitely in the "read and watched a lot of comedy to get a mental picture of what adults, besides my parents, are like" club
not my house, but i know my way around
Not to be confused with Union City Conspiracy, also a 1990s adventure game
accidentally introduced a bug to the game where all the text got replaced with "you"
a man with an axe embedded in his belly is being carried on a stretcher, while two other men watch on. "looks like johnson's been playing adventure during lunchtime again!"

Barely getting away with it until they don't *is* very on-brand...
America really would be unstoppable if the leadership could conceive of anyone hating them for reasons other than ain't-ing them.
