If you’re looking into safety razors, get a starter pack with an assortment of blades. I was getting one and I thought it couldn’t possibly matter, because for God’s sake, it’s a sharp piece of metal, how could it? And then I tried a few different brands from the assortment pack, and sure enough one of them worked much better for my face than others (it was Shark, btw).

I can easily believe that for some people, one brand of blade is no good, while another is perfect, and I’d hate to think that someone tried shaving with the wrong kind and got turned off the whole project from that one wrong sample.

He looks like an illustration in the border of a medieval manuscript.

Edit:

Reminds me of a story about Randolph Churchill:

In the mid-1950s, surgery revealed that a tumor on his lung was benign. His friend Evelyn Waugh burst into the bar at White’s Club: “They’ve cut out the only part of Randolph that isn’t malignant!”

Also he’s not dead.

What I’m doing is merely swirling the water about! That’s not a crime!

Buy once. Use forever.

Have they considered doing ca-ca-ca-ca-cocaiiine?

Literally the same interaction between religion and reality as The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down. Except without the language and cultural discontinuity.

Sure, but he’s talking to Texas voters. Enough of them think of Republican and Christian as fundamentally bonded parts of their identity that it’s going to be a real job getting them to vote in a way that will actually serve their interests.

If a person thinks “I am a Republican,” it’s not enough to just suggest that maybe they ought to change their allegiance. You’ve got to give them a pathway to consider a compromise so that you can show them a better way.

Of course, if he gets elected and then either he or the Democratic Party don’t actually deliver, they’ll have truly screwed the pooch, even more than they currently have.

One teensy little issue.

Someone hacked the camera in DragonBall Fighter to show that they did this with the models to get them to look cool during particular cinematic angles used during super moves.

Isn’t this basically what Archive of Our Own was founded for? They may focus on fan fiction, but it seems like one could start a conversation with the Organization for Transformative Works to add another wing for this sort of content.

Diogenes has entered the chat

“It was one time!”

He’s trying to build his own monuments while he’s alive because no one will build monuments to him after he’s dead.

There’s like… one percent of one percent of advertising that has ever been created that actually had some kind of artistic or entertainment merit. Those insane Spongmonkies ads for Quiznos. The H&M ad Wes Anderson did. It’s so vanishingly rare as to not meaningfully count, but it does happen once in a blue moon.
