A minimum net worth to run for public office.

Good article. And all that talk from the two astronauts about the guidance and control accuracy of the Atlas V isn’t hyperbole. It really is renowned for precision.

Clothes, from the actually-pretty-good Goodwill near me. A few hundred dollars would pay for a lot of gently-worn excellent-condition button-up shirts and jeans.

Yes. And woe to those prematurely celebrating our demise.

Hexbear federation is kind of like a movie.

We’ve had our act one origin story, where we unleash our posting powers upon the world.

We’ve had our act two challenges, where the libs and chuds thought we were on the ropes due to the domain name thing.

Skynet.

Landru.

Maybe more like SMBC. Watterson knows how to draw people that aren’t stick figures.

Do it!

Shutter Love. Just a few chapters long, but a wonderful little universal-appeal story. I also think that it would make for a great indie film set in basically any post 1960ish culture across the world.

The Voynich Hotel. Three volumes of absolute insanity and I love it. Yakuza a la David Lynch.

I’ve had a lot of fun lately with Democrat supporters on other forums by calling them “Beta Republicans”.
