all of the major news outlets collectively deciding they were never going to mention the name Bernie Sanders ever again partway through the 2020 Dem primary, up to and including removing his bar from state polling results and lumping it in with 'Other', even when he was in the lead

Also multiple write-ins for 'COLON POWELL'

the thing with heathcliff is it's really not funny until it is, and then it's hilarious. there are so many random diversions and recurring jokes.

To me, Heathcliff seems more like a minor deity or that kid that controlled the town in that twilight zone episode. I read it every day and it's running gags are kind of a commentary/meta-joke on the repetitive nature of daily comics that span decades.

we joke about stacey abrams and for good reason but capturing the man in the back's expression as he realizes what he thought was serious yang thought was a weird publicity stunt really makes for good photography storytelling

Office Space already debunked this line of reasoning a couple decades ago:

Office Space posted:

Peter Gibbons: Our high school guidance counselor used to ask us what you'd do if you had a million dollars and you didn't have to work. And invariably what you'd say was supposed to be your career. So, if you wanted to fix old cars then you're supposed to be an auto mechanic.

Samir: So what did you say?

Peter Gibbons: I never had an answer. I guess that's why I'm working at Initech.

Michael Bolton: No, you're working at Initech because that question is bullshit to begin with. If everyone listened to her, there'd be no janitors, because no one would clean poo poo up if they had a million dollars.

Ok but the hospital says if I don't pay my bill they won't treat me. It's 200,000 dollars because I didn't have insurance. (to make it a mere 4k, plus they get to set a lein and take any settlement I make with the company that poisoned me)

These motivational pictures are always made by people who didn't follow the same advice. Every single person I know who became a musician or went into tv/film with the same thought left broke and disillusioned. It doesn't make work fun, it makes you hate your passion.

And what about running a yarn shop appeals to someone who enjoys yarning as a hobby?

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Oh absolutely. And there are definitely people who, maybe not LOVE, but are content with cleaning for a living and shouldn't be arbitrarily punished for it because it's been deemed a "no skills" job.
