A comic strip titled The Amazing World of Tomorrow. A food delivery robot cooler drives down a sidewalk. It crashes into a rental scooter. It backs up. It crashes into the rental scooter again. The scooter wobbles. The scooter falls to the ground as the food delivery robot backs up again. A driverless taxi crashes into both the scooter and the food delivery robot sending them flying.

The Amazing World Of Tomorrow

OK fine there are other absurd baseball games whose broken mechanics make them just as good as Base Wars

Base Wars on the NES remains the only good baseball thing.

If they olay past 2 am we fall back 3 innings

Used to be the FBI had to actually convince someone to buy a box full of used pinball machine parts before they thwarted a terrorist plot.

We watched One Cut of the Dead tonight (second time for me, first for Meg). Tough movie to introduce to people because the first 30 minutes are not great and you have to be like "this gets really really good and I can't tell you how or why, but sitting through this opening bit is part of it"

This HBO Americanization of Derry Girls is NOT what I expected

Our second in back to back Satyajit Ray films, Charulata (1964) is among the most visually stunning films we've seen, so viscerally (and visually) capturing longing.

My atheists / agnostic friend who did not grow up in any form of Christianity just said “A lot of the bible sure seems to read like an obituary for empire” and I almost just hollered in tongues.

“It is not theft, properly speaking, to take secretly and use another's property in a case of extreme need: because that which he takes for the support of his life becomes his own property by reason of that need." - Thomas Aquinas reminds us that if you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.

the video being projected behind all the performers on stage

lmao david byrne showed the video of the ice agents tripping over themselves while trying to run after a biker on wacker drive during the “life during wartime” segment of his chicago show tonight

George I need you to do to these companies what you could never do to your books and finish them.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Can't run for office cause I got people I call Aunt and Uncle who I do not know how or even if we're related.

You can't AI generate conservapedia! You need the human touch for writing like this.

Well, slam on the brakes of my Dragula

I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

So much of "cancel culture" discourse is a re-description of the normal functioning of a democracy and public discourse by people who didn't like the results of one, or both, or how it made them feel.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

What many Christians fail to understand about "turn the other check" is that it is not a command to passive acceptance, but active resistance. When the oppressor, Roman or otherwise, demands submission, turning the other cheek is saying "what are you going to do? Shoot me? I'll die for this shit."

"... Mexico's Tim Burton"
Alright, the guy sitting behind me also decompressing from Frankenstein is going to get me to leave the theater faster.

TIL that Dashiell Hammett taught a detective-story writing class at the Communist Party Workers’ School in New York, and I now have a new answer to, “if you could go anywhere in time, where would you go?”

It is constantly happening here

The Criterion Collection is finally showing us two (or three) more Satyajit Ray films! This week we talk about the beautiful The Big City (1963), and as a bonus get to see the more cynical but equally lyrical The Coward (1965).

OK but how about A Christmas Carol where Scrooge is a real person and everyone else is played by Johnny Depp?

Thank god none of these are facing the camera or you'd have to witness the digital eyes they were given to try to make me less mad at them.
