Political commentators are like cheap AI bots. Their purpose is not in any sense accuracy or prediction. It’s “please generate roughly grammatical noise that contains names of politicians and issues.” They are never “right” or “wrong” and they cannot see why anyone would care. It’s just slop.

We had to stop the break dancing craze and we did it.

It’s not just OK. It’s mandatory.

Plus, and I'm not real sure of this, weren't they failures? Apart from the first (?) when they temporarily captured Jerusalem, the whole idea of them was to reconquer the Mideast, which they .... did not do.

So what's the war cry? "Let's fight for a few generations then lose"?

Y'all are doing this wrong. It's "F, you fools" or "it's a pity Bilbo didn't F Gollum when he had the chance." You have to change the verb to make it weird, not just throw in a generic intensifier!

Any time he asks about the schedule, they can say “we can’t decide about the [irrelevant and possibly fictitious aesthetic element]… which of these 25 choices do you like best?”

He can’t enter your home unless he’s invited in, can he? How else does he get inside?

Please people. Scrooge isn’t real, and he did not order a goose to be killed and cooked for his employee Cratchit, who suspiciously lacks biometric id papers.

I have repeatedly said Trump II and Doge were all part of some elaborate heist scheme and destroying the very concept of time fits in with that. Or will fit in. Or did fit in. We can’t know anymore!

She doesn’t want an empty lot! She wants a wooded parcel whose trees can be made into powerful longbows with which to defeat the French at Agincourt! All she wants is Yew.

Loved Lawrence of Cascadia, starring Omar Serif.

I am often getting beaten out for jobs by Minotaurized people, but to be honest I mostly apply for labyrinth jobs I’m not really qualified for.
