And...Robot Manequins that spy on you:
They've got a statue at Yerba Buena (in SF) that had motion sensors and would squat down to get a look at you.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Reminds me of Tim joking about certain Angel implausibilities by chanting "It's a show about a vampire!"
Except -- I think Angel did pretty well, and when you're a fantasy show, you get a bit more leeway than a cop show.
It's an odd article.

Have I been misunderstanding the definition of kosher this whole time?
Ultra-Orthodox Jews are discouraged from eating the Interbunny.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The more out-of-control my life feels, the more I depend on more horoscope to put it in a neat little box.
It might not be fun, and it probably won't go down in your mental scrapbook as the best on record, but once you've made it through this day, you'll feel really good about yourself. Like you've accomplished something. So when it seems as if the universe is throwing everything but the kitchen sink between you and where you need to be, don't give up. Ever heard about testing what you're made of? That's what's going on -- and this is one test you're guaranteed to pass.
My horoscope is far more confident in me than I am. I think today I may very well break.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
'We can't possibly be having this conversation much longer. I'm a blind man with a gun.'"
That reminds me of some cop comedy movie I saw in the '80s. At one point a police officer apprehends a bad guy. The cop pulls a gun on the guy and holds his badge up with the other hand. He says, "Blind officer!" and the bad guy freezes and puts his hands up. Then the cop says, "Am I pointing this at you?" And then, to top it all off, the bad guy nods.

If I only had a brain...
Where is your horoscope, Allyson? I need a cheerful one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Y'all know Oriental Trading, right? They sell lots of assorted crap -- party favors and crafts and like that. I just got their Easter catalog, which is hilarious on so many levels -- I love the '"Jesus Loves You" sucker,' because I can't help but read it as "Jesus loves you? SUCKER!" but that's not the point here. They have chocolate eggs with Jesus messages on them, and good news! They're kosher. WHAT JEW WOULD EAT A JESUS CHOCOLATE EGG ANYWAY???

A Jew for Jesus.

Damn, ita, you got me. Do JfJ keep kosher?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Don't Seventh Day Adventists keep kosher?
