  • I’m a huge long-term fan of the Garfield comics. Lyman basically ditches Jon with Odie. It’s never explained in detail because it’s a 3 frame comic. More optimistically, and “cannon” Jon was enthusiastic about inheriting Odie while Lymon left for unexplained reasons. Jon thought owning a dog would help him meet women.






  • The numbers are close-ish to correct if you are looking only at House/Senate voting. They still needed to be ratified by 3/4ths of states and these numbers clearly ignore what the voting results in each state was. They also did not have 100% Republican support, but close. Democrat support of 0% for the 14th and 15th amendments appears to be accurate.

    Also worth mentioning that all 3 of those amendments passed in just 6 years. It’s a very specific moment in history.










  • Reminds me of Futurama, “we all have commercials in our dreams” scene.

    Leela: Didn’t you have ad’s in the 20th century?

    Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines. And movies. And at ball games and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts and written on the sky. But not in dreams. No siree!
