Mister Miracle is my favorite hero because he shows that no matter how awful things get, you could still end up with an absolute baddie.

There's a senator named "Whitehouse"?

So, I guess those monkeys with the typewriters have taken over the scripts for the rest of this season of America, huh?

Sounds like both the best AND worst way to die.

"Police are reporting that the body was recovered from a tunnel of cheese..."

Remember the show Paradise? Its first season just ended in March, but you wouldn't know it. That feels like over a year ago. I already hated streaming season schedules, but it's even worse when we apparently now live in a time dilation field designed to torture us...

Had James Gunn gotten his hands on him, we would have gotten that very scene.

If there's any justice, he'll die in a comedic way in the cold open of Doomsday. But there isn't any justice anywhere anymore...

We can't lose Dolly! I feel like Willie probably has a special strain of something he's been saving for just such an occasion. It's in a baggy, labeled "Jolene II".

It's a tie between What's Happening Now and New WKRP. What's Happening Now didn't end on a cliffhanger, so it narrowly edges out WKRP.

I'm playing music catch-up from the past few years. So, at some point, Coldplay became "Desert Rose" era Sting, while Imagine Dragons became Coldplay.

The TRU shows he went on clearance. So, from a display standpoint, someone unfamiliar might wonder why you're displaying something they couldnt sell. And there's multiple TRU stickers on it. So, I feel you've got to choose between 3 options.

OK, this Monopoly shit is one of the most convoluted app experiences I've ever had.

I spent too much for this, but I had to have it.

Probably not the best opener there, Conway. I mean, we ALL do it, but...

Do they cater to the same audience? Sounds somewhat unsustainable on both ends.

Sleazy Patriot standing in front of customized USA Camaro. Looks like he might have been a defendant in a college lacrosse scandal. Possible former youth pastor.

It should go without saying, but this guy is totally gonna try to fuck you.

In my family, you were a "failure" if you didn't work for the federal government. It's a black DC thing. Anyway, it KILLS me that they're all too sick/senile/dead for me to laugh in their faces as the empire crumbles. I showed them! I'm a failure for a myriad of other reasons lol

That's right. You tell ALL those soldiers they're not getting back pay, and they're gonna have to wait a little longer to buy that Camaro. Lemme know how that works out for ya.

While writing for Marvel Comics, I invented Cabbage, a green version of Carnage who turns his hands into salad spinners instead of cool knives. The company sued me for six years of back pay, and I have security camera footage if editor-in-chief C.B. Cebulski planting a car bomb under my Nissan Leaf.

I mean, they've got her in little shorts, so they clearly spoke to someone on my team

I haven't seen any of the trailers, but I suspect this is the character the furries are gonna wanna fuck this go 'round?

But we got a riveting documentary out of it!

There was this period in the late 00s where sitcoms were like "This show is missing something...How about we bring in Eric McCormick?"

Then, after that Will & Grace revival, networks were finally like "OK, we're good. We've got all the McCormick we need."

IG Subscriptions don't make sense to me. So, folks are paying for "exclusive content", when Meta aint gonna let you show anything good? Is this just market research on whether you should launch an OF?

Hey, I love traditions, but it ain't "Monopoly at McDonalds" on an app. If I'm not struggling against condensation to peel off that little ticket to tell me I won a Sausage Biscuit, it ain't right.

This is dumb, as VJs have been out of work for about 20 years. This is just twisting the knife. Somebody check on Bill Bellamy and Idalis.

The worst part is there's no fly. Ya know, since Woody doesn't have a penis. Which is kinda false advertising, given his name and all.
