Theseus, His Sails Unfurled

I can't imagine how we get out of this besides going back hat-in-hand after Nuremberging the entire Admin and bringing receipts that they're actually in jail.

More than a few folks (rightfully) pointing out that this is down to everyone in the room now being incredibly stupid, but folks... I just don't understand how so many people could be so fucking stupid, at the same time, about this very specific thing.

That's just that two-prong dude from Battleship

Maybe that was it. I do kind remember being like "I know Charlie Kaufman films, and you, Movie, are no Charlie Kaufman film."

I swear to God, I don't even remember him. This movie bounced off me like rain off Rain-X.

This movie was probably the first time a good friend told me it was one of his favorite movies ever and I watched it and didn't know how to say how much I not only didn't like it, but didn't care even a little bit about it.

People don't still have opinions about I Heart Huckabees, do they? Have we moved on from it as a society?

If the world were a workplace, Iran has been fired, beaten by security and physically thrown out, but is now calling from the parking lot reminding the boss that they'te the only one with the server password, and now it's Your Move.

Wild that one person can decide to throw away billions on wars of choice but it’s like pushing a boulder up a cliff for years to pass policy through congress that actually improves the lives of citizens.

"Some bugs are domestic abusers, but not all domestic abusers are bugs"

I just mean the entire thread. People talking about mammals are bugs out here.

This is the weirdest fucking Bug discourse I've ever seen.

I mean I guess you can move the fries to add it to the side of the tray, but I confess I hadn't thought of that

so i take it the straits are not OK

FUCKING [REDACTED]

Someone I know who definitely thinks a ton of other things are evil scams is beside herself that people believe the Jim Carrey thing -- and it's all over her algorithm because of the other shit.

Lesson learned? I wish.

Like ... On the fries?

I'm good with chili cheese fries as a meal, even, but I think a wild amount of people want like 3k calories in fries for dinner and like, I've eaten some horrendously unhealthy meals, but I just don't want that one lol

For like decades (maybe even now), a throwaway line in Pumping Iron made people think Arnold got huge just by drinking shit tons of beer with his workouts. So I guess this tracks.

Gonna lose some followers, here, but I don't actually want more fries than this. I would like roughly this much potato, but thinner and double-fried and covered in Lowry's, but not like some massive mound of fries.

I just want some chili and liquid cheese, and I'll add mustard. Done.

I mean, I guess I'm being reductive calling them all by the Superman story name, because (for example) the original doesn't involve a psychiatrist telling Superman he's imagining things (IIRC?) but in the end, the protagonist is out of commission believing another life is the real one.

For the uninitiated, this is where the protagonist suddenly believes they are in another reality where everything's Normal (tm) and any memory of having this Crazy Hero Life is a figment of your imagination.

Still rewatching Buffy and I just got to the

FOR THE MAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons

episode.

How many shows have one of these? I've seen the Justice League / Supergirl / all the DC reduxes, but also this Buffy one and the DS9 one (which is probably the best).

I mean they are in one sense but aren't in another. It's just IRL Obi-Wan Kenobi on Vader and it's fine.

I know you're being intentionally self-deprecating here, but lol

Also, your BATS AREN'T BUGS comic is prompting a lot of questions from yourself that are answered by your comic

Who's Poasting to Bluesky, here, you chowderheads or me?

Scientifically, bugs have six legs.

Lexically, bugs are lil crawly folks

KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?

BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing!

K: You don't think it's hyperbolic?

B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up

What the fuck are we doing here
