SPISPOPD stands for ‘Smashing pumpkins into small piles of putrid debris’.

Back in the usenet days I remember someone making a crappy freeware game with that title.

That’s right, a cheat code in a game inspired the creation of another game.

“You see, it actually said ‘No! Taxation without representation!’”

She says when it’s an eye thing, go in to be safe. It can get bad quickly.

My wife is a vet tech, I’ll ask her tonight for an opinion.

Children.

Ublock origin, apparently. I had to check.

Its the Associated Press. I saw no ads at all, but then I am using an ad blocker.

The public response makes this news, honestly. And if you aren’t online and seeing it, the anger might surprise you. Murders aren’t usually celebrated.

That’s also why I can say I didn’t care about the show that episode is a part of.

It stands on its own, and it could have been a footnote, or a few lines. A heartfelt scene, some light sorrow.

I’m so glad they chose to give it a full episode.

I don’t care about The Last of Us at all but I’ve watched that episode a few times.

It’s just such a perfect love story. Regardless of your orientation or views, it should hit home.

I might have suggested that one instead, but I just rewatched Pillows and Blankets last night!

There’s also the Dreamatorium episode but that’s a whole other mess.

Can’t wait for the movie!

Community, season 3, Pillows and Blankets.

It’s a campus wide pillow fight between two friends / armies done as a Ken Burns Civil War documentary.

I was so invested in the OT… and no more movies came, so I accepted there wouldn’t be more movies.

As such when they came out and were shitty, I didn’t mind as much.

That’s made it easier for me to dip in and enjoy some of the new content. I’m not expecting it to be good, and can be surprised when it is.

Hurricane in Florida in the 80s, but I was far enough inland to not be in danger. The eye of the storm is really spooky. Complete and utter silence.

Also the 1991 snowstorm in Duluth MN. Started snowing on Halloween and didn’t stop for three days. We had four feet of snow in the yard.

That was a lot of fun, the town was paralyzed for a couple of days until the plows started to get things in order.

I guess 25ish years?

There’s a comedian I saw on An Evening at the Improv in the late 1980s who was doing a detective schtick.

The joke I remember is “Either this man was stabbed to death with a spoon, or his entire body is breaking out in little smiles.”

I searched and searched for the clip and finally found one link, just one…

That was me having asked the same question a decade prior.

Are you sure about that? Billionaires have a lot of reach in hiding shit they don’t like.

Bear down for jailtime.

Maybe so. But he’s a good example of someone getting ‘close’ nationally.

Ross Perot had a shot in 1992 but blew it by promoting conspiracy theories (that may have even been true, who knows) about Republican infiltration at (iirc) his daughters wedding.

And the split in the vote let Bill Clinton beat the incumbent Bush.

The only way a third party takes a seat is when they capture the attention.

Locally, that’s easier. Less people to win over, you get to focus on local accomplishments, etc. But national you need to become the national conversation or too many voters wouldn’t know who you are.
