Pokey Thee Stallion

Relating to Spider-Man at 19: I too am underemployed, unsure how to pursue girls, and trying to find my place in the adult world.

Relating to Galactus at 42: I am from an unrecognizable previous millennium, hungry all the time, everything hurts and I live with a tiny person who won’t do what I ask.

My partner turned to me and asked, while we watched: "Is he a 'feet guy?' Is-- is that, y'know, canon?"

My reply: "... why would you think they'd spend time specifying that in comics marketed to literal children?"

Agreed, though, Jimmy and Krypto and Mr. Terrific and the Justice Gang. A+.

"Welcome to your Target orientation! This way to the comprachicos, so you'll never disappoint a customer again!"

Should we worry about clawbacks? Is that a thing that's *possible,* although horrifying to consider?

I've got what I assume is November's funds 'on-schedule,' and I live in Washington state, for reference.

As ever, Matthew, your work is invaluable and your counsel much appreciated.

The only thing powering my mood past seasonal affective disorder is "how much worse he looks every successive day."

My sole animating instinct is living to hear and see the worldwide party that pops off after It Happens.

'How can I make things worse for them? Asparagus-and-smoked-fish casserole at the wake?'

If sandwich guy wins, somebody should make a statue of him throwing a sandwich at one of the confederate statues.

Terribly low-key, low-stakes evening I'm afraid. We watched "Fantastic 4," which I enjoyed! I've also got "Thunderbolts," after which I'll be all caught up? I guess?

... was hoping to squeeze in some HeroClix with my boyfriend, but maybe this next weekend.

Tom Hanks! You know, from "Bosom Buddies!"

Paul Lynde, who voiced the gay rat in "Charlotte's Web!"

Is there really a difference in the feeling of "I personally wish to die" and "While I personally would rather not die, my government seems to insist I die by not offering anyone food, affordable medicine, or affordale housing?"

More like the "pro-LAPSE" ticket, amirite?!

We're currently at the "Jesus didn't say we should feed people"
portion of the fall of American Evangelicalism.

Also, if you like crisp shadows and meticulous shot-composition and stellar photography with your German Expressionism, I give you: 'dir. by Fritz Lang.'

Probably "Metropolis" especially, but everything he did is so intentional and beautiful!

"The Golem (How He Came Into The World)," also right at the tip-top of German Expressionist architecture films-- the anti-Semitism is rough, though? It came out the same year as "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari," though, so it's a peer rather than an influence.

Came here to ask this. "You, sir, are an autonomous artificially intelligent machine that can assume the shape of a truck. You include a laser rifle. The axe is for-- what? Scraping ice off your own windshield?!"

This is just to say
I have seen the legs
Vast and trunkless in the desert

And which
I was trying to save
for a more apt parody

Forgive me
It is the empire:
very decline
much fall

I thought it was about a farmer fighting a Monsanto-like corporation who'd patented their specific astronaut-bearing seed varietal. A heartland courtroom epic!

Feels like William Blake.

... oof, that's on the USDA website? That tracks. Not your fault sharing bad information, then. Apologies for the confusion.

Kelly, I will say 'I cherish and respect your contributions and your advocacy,' but the graphic calls pro-LGBTQ+ policy "gender mutilation procedures" and says Democrats want to give healthcare to "illegal aliens," both of which are hurtful stereotypes-- this person's biases and agenda trouble me?

I would've screamed "OH YEAH?! MAYBE I'M BORN WITH IT; MAYBE IT'S MAYBELLIENE." to that literal child. As loud as it were possible to do so.

I definitely believe my parents thought: 'Enh, he wants books. At-- at least it's not drugs?'

The British think the Italians take too much time talking? It isn't "spaghetti bolognese," it's SPAG BOL.

I wondered if I could design a shirt that had a green antlered blob on it and just read: "HOMOSHREKSUAL" without getting sued by (... idk, Dreamworks?)

... I have yet to be so brave, but you know. Watch my etsy store for updates.

You've got to pronounce it like it's short for "pre-kindergarten." Q: Intern, where is my sample of 'shree-kay?'

It was *very clearly* satire in 1st and 2nd editions. It became less obvious in order to progress editions and sell more models, as the satirical content was diluted, Space Marines became the sort of 'recognizable human hero symbol,' and 'oh wait, the Imperium are fascists...' was washed out. For $.

They independently decide, each time, that national healthcare and a robust social safety net is "commie European shit."

HUNTER-THRILLER MISSILE, where the ejected warhead goes paragliding or base-jumping instead of impacting the target. *Whee!*

Cutting SNAP is like, “What if we played Jenga w society itself?”
