All I can say is if I walk into a doctor's office and there is a picture of Trump dressed like Jesus helping a doctor do surgery hanging in the lobby I'm out of there.

I'm going to say Father Karras because possession is 9/10ths of the law.

I wish we had a mischievous alien with god-like powers to blame for our situation. It would make it a lot easier than trying to figure out how to deal with the people I know got us here going forward, assuming we actually manage to find our way out of this situation in my lifetime.

Watched those episodes last week and I'm glad that short arc was played more camp than serious. It's scary how much those characters sounded just like certain rantings today.

Are you sure it wasn't a long list of acronyms?

It’s a dark and depressing feeling to have all your closest colleagues get together and decide you should die. - Andy Weir Project Hail Mary

Rodenberry knew if you are orange you are probably a megalomaniac.

I remember a Rousseau picture on the cover of a paperback copy of The Dragon's of Eden my father had when I was very young. I would sometimes clock it moving into the room where it sat on the shelf. It would shock me into alertness as if I had been surprised by someone moving through a jungle.

Danger hugs

I remember slowly turning my head toward the TV on MTV2 the first time I heard it. For the younger people, that was a cable channel that played music videos, and music videos were these often poorly scripted but charmingly quaint skits or "performances" that lasted for the length of a whole song.

Please tell me the person behind the mask impersonates Carol Channing while in character.

I don't think it would even be that hard to trick him into taking a trip to The Hague at this point.
