A few friends of mine and I would refer to this as the "It's On" moment. Logan got one of the best "It's On" Moments in comics and it has made all the difference. All characters should find their moment.

If they thought they were going to get a more conservative readership then they forgot one simple irrefutable fact. Conservatives can't read.

All of this is just objectively right. No hot take detected.

You have a happy birthday, for we are all happy you were born. You might as well fit in.

That's generous, giving them a couple weeks.

Provided humanity survives it will get written, but it won't be written by Americans.

What is a taco ball? Is this the future of taco consumption?

a close up of a cartoon character 's face with a pink sweater on Alt: Rygel the XVI, Dominar to over 600 billion subjects, deposed ruler of the Hynerian Empire from the show Farscape. He looks a bit like a toad around the mouth, with large eyebrows and tiny nose pulled all the way up between his eyes. He has bushy mustach like whiskers across his cheeks. He is winking at you.

Someone already did Pilot, so I'm going with Rygel the XVI, Dominar to over 600 billion subjects, deposed ruler of the Hynerian Empire

Well, I guess ballooning debt is a form of endless growth.

Like my grandpa used to say about my grandma, she kept him warm in the winter and gave him shade in the summer.

To each their own. I just can't stand seafood on anything, or on its own.

Yay! And thank god for your taste in comics, because your taste in pizza is distressing. Anyway, enjoy the countdown to aging day.

I take some small confort in this on the grounds that these men are not brave. They wouldn't be voicing their new found discomfort in even the weakest of terms if they didn't feel the groundswell of their audiences and the general population turning against the fascists.

Just for reference, it's been estimated that the Great Depression whiped out about 30% of the U.S. GDP. I'm sure it's not relevant.

When Oz came back and learned Willow and Tara were a thing he should have lost control and mauled Xander to death. Setting up a man in search or redemption arc where he becomes Willow and Tara's biggest cheerleader, and ultimately he ends up marrying Anya. There, much better show.

Poster for the 1978 porn film Debbie Does Dallas, starring Bambi Woods. The title is in a football shaped object. Debbie is in her cowgirl inspired cheerleading uniform, which is skimpy, bent over to show her cleavage. She has white pom-poms and a cowboy hat. She is framed by a star logo. The tag line is "Everyone on the team scores when her pom-poms fly!".

Why can't it be both? You're versatile.

GDP dropped somewhere in the ballpark of 30% during the Great Depression. Sure looks like this bubble puts us in line for another 1929.

Didn't GDP drop somewhere around 30% during the Great Depression? So I guess 40% shouldn't be problem, right? Right?

I always figured his ultimate celebrity was in the Fallon sense, not really but kinda so long as he performs his sole task of affirming actual celebrities. He's a hanger on, that is afforded the trappings of celebrity in a contingent fashion.

DVD cover for the movie The Great Outdoors, starring Dan Aykroyd and John Candy. It features John Candy caught up in fishing line, lifted off the ground. Looking quite put out by it, as the line is attached to a fishing poll held up by a smarmy looking Dan Aykroyd. They are on the dock with a lake behind them. There are pine trees and hills on the far shore. A raccoon hangs out in the bottom left corner.

Apparently he's been attached to this project for like a decade as it worked its way through development hell. So in this instance it's probably contractual, going back to before most people were on to him.
