Venkman. Spengler. Stantz.

These are names that could belong to the children of rabbis or the children of Nazis.

It is left to us to choose.

People don't like it when you ask whether Peter Venkman is supposed to be Jewish

I agree, it's magic. Jokes and music are magic

I def felt that certain eps were OOC when I originally watched them, but now that I have more mature distance and can see what the team was trying to do, it feels very much like an expansion of what had already been happening in, say, "Fire Ant" or "Warren"

No no no, that's a Seine day and you only get them in Paris. A Prime Day is when you inherit the Matrix of Leadership and become the head Autobot.

No, no, no, you're both wrong. Terraforming involves a *Slime* Day. Common mistake. A Prime Day is when you get a coffee, a croissant, and some fresh-squeezed orange juice in an outdoor café

nope, that's a mime day. a prime day is when you terraform a sim world.

starting to think much of the “how democracies end”/“how autocracies are born” literature could benefit from considering the actual existence of American law enforcement

I don't think there's much in Space Ghost Coast to Coast that can be misunderstood too bad, but if you think Space Ghost really loved Bjork and they didn't just have a loveless Hollywood marriage where he was avoiding her and she had her ex living with them, rewatch Knifing Around 9 more times

No, that’s a Sublime day. A prime day is when you wear white pancake makeup, black kohl eyeliner and a black beret, then pretend you’re walking up a staircase or pulling a rope.
