Drama: Mad Men

Comedy: Monty Python’s Flying Circus

Animation: Rick & Morty

Educational: Connections (1970s, with James Burke as host)

Miniseries: tossup between True Detective Season One and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (BBC, 1979, with Alec Guinness)

niktemadur,

With its’ bleak philosophical and metaphysical concerns, True Detective S1 felt to me very much like Tarkovsky and/or Bergman exquisitely done for television.

The ones that I come across nearly every day in one way or another:

Obama FEMA Boncentration Bamps!
He’s coming for yer gunz!

They repeat the same lie over and over and over again, and these one-dimensional simpletons swallow the entire thing, time after time after time.
The problem is, these one-dimensional simpletons vote.

And you know who doesn’t vote? The other type of simpleton who swallows that other cherry-picking lie, over and over and over again: bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe.

niktemadur,

No connection. This breed is native to Mesoamerica and was completely unknown across the Atlantic. And you don’t need to invoke these fellas when you are already THE God Of Jackals - which are carrion eaters, and I believe Xolos are not.

niktemadur,

Fun fact: I once dated a girl who had TWO of these Xolos. They have a vibe all their own, let me tell ya.
The older one didn’t really care too much for me one way or the other, but the younger one… one time I shooed her away from something in my own bedroom, she stared right at me, turned to the floor to throw up, then looked back up to keep staring at me. It was unnerving.

Another fun fact: the professional soccer team from Tijuana are called The Xolos.

niktemadur,

I’m not lazy, it’s society that’s manically hyperactive.

You know… I meant that as a sort of joke, but it actually isn’t too far from the truth. Some manic-obsessive individuals set the tone, and some places are worse than others, South Korea being most famous for it.

niktemadur,

“Granny, do the dog bite?”
“No, child, no.”

niktemadur,

And who was casting the nets that kept on capturing people all the way into the 20th century?

One would imagine Arabs themselves wouldn’t want to “get their hands dirty”, would have the middleman ships full of slaves arrive at their ports and then have the auctions begin.

niktemadur,

Matter / Antimatter?
No… Supersymmetry!

niktemadur,

It’s actually happened.

To help describe the different particle configurations as you go into deeper and deeper layers of neutron stars - the way intense gravity plus pressure clumps the particles together - physicists have started referring to them as Gnocchi, Spaghetti and Lasagna.

Gnocchi are lumps of neutrons bunched together.
Spaghetti are strands of these Gnocchi.
Lasagna are sheets of these Spaghetti.

niktemadur,

This is the future that libruls want WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!

niktemadur,

No, no… what drives you up in the morning?
“Car alarm”

niktemadur,

How many of these weekend warrior party animals would have survived the aftermath of The Great Sparrow Campaign and then The Cultural Revolution, one wonders. Or how their perception of things would be changed if they had lived through anything like that double sucker punch.

niktemadur,

Is that haircut closed, open, or saddle-shaped?

niktemadur,

…so they can tighten the screws even further, making lives even less happy, less prosperous, less rewarding. All they ever do is dig deeper into the mudpit they drag everyone down into.

If a Kolvoord Starburst goes off in The Neutral Zone
and there’s no one there to see it,

Must Wesley still shut up?

niktemadur,

Bet it would also work with cold brew coffee.

niktemadur,

Forces that govern symmemetry, that explain how the conservation of meme-entum cannot be violated. Like the Pauli Inclusion Principle.

niktemadur,

The Fayum portraits are among my favorite things in the entire history of art.
