Comics Humble Bundle has an extremely good comicbook deal going
Ricofoley replied to elbobo's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
I can vouch for Kill or Be Killed being really good, if you wanna go up to that high of a tier. I have Monstress sitting around somewhere that I still have to read. The artwork is incredible in that book, I can say that much about it. -

Looks like she's revealing the prize for 3rd place on a really shitty game show -
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/07/14/postal-service-trump-dejoy-delay-mail/ tl;dr, they're telling carriers to just leave mail at the distribution facilities instead of working any OT to get it all delivered on the day it's supposed to go out. Matt Bors, the guy who drew the "We should improve society somewhat" comic says he's getting shipments of his books abandoned and returned to him And, I have no real way to confirming this dude's identity, but he says he works for the USPS and wrote a long thread detailing what they were told and how he thinks this is going to snowball out of control In unrelated news, more people then ever before will be voting by mail this year, and most of them will be Democrats!

There was a district in update NY that had a special election during their primary last month. I don't know the number offhand. I guess the results were something like R+30 on election night and had shrunk all the way down to about R+5 once the mail-in vote was counted. So if the election night vs. mail-in swing is that dramatic nationwide, that is something that's in the back of my mind--that Republicans would hold up the margin itself as evidence that of course the mail-in vote is rigged.

I could see maybe a mass resigning & replacement of any conservative judges that are near retirement age that haven't already been replaced, since that's one thing that they could do without involving the House. If they controlled both houses of Congress, you're right, they absolutely would run the Wisconsin playbook and try and kneecap the power of the presidency.

Goya Foods Faces Boycott

Because my brain is broken this is all I can think about when I hear Goya -
Illinois cases and positive % are both on the upswing now. It's been exactly two weeks since we reopened partial indoor restaurants and bars. Illinois has handled itself better then some, but I think they fucked up with that. I don't think anything involving prolonged indoor exposure is going to work until the baseline of cases are way, way further down. I honestly don't know what to do with school in the fall. I'd be an absolute mess right now if I had kids.

The Big 10 is expected announce soon that they're cancelling all non-conference games for fall sports. I gotta believe this is gonna be like what happened in the spring where a couple of individual conference tournaments were cancelled but then the dominoes started falling and within a day or two there was no more march madness. I don't think we're getting fall college football.

Movies Ennio Morricone passes away at 91
Ricofoley replied to Amazatron's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
Everybody knows Ecstasy of Gold from Good the Bad and the Ugly, for good reason, but this is one that sticks with me a lot too. The entire score is gorgeous. Also, don't forget about The Thing! Good as hell. -
I'm like -7.0 in my left eye, plus there's some astigmatism correction in there, and I don't know what those numbers mean. My right eye isn't as bad as that.
