Wait A Minute, Doc. You Built A Time Machine... Out Of A Tesla?

“Wait a minute, Doc. You built a time machine... out of a Tesla?”

Sandman: The Kindly Ones
This moment just popped into my head, even though I must have read it about two years ago. The panel doesn’t quite say much without the context, but even here, there is something about this presence of resignation that I find particularly moving.

I didn't expect this to be relevant again.

“I like Brutus. I think he’s an honorable guy. You know a lot of people don’t feel that way. People come up to me and say, "this Brutus guy is a mess. He killed Caesar.” Caesar, by the way, that’s the guy that didn’t want to be king. I was there in March of 44, and I watched all the Romans cheering when he turned down that crown. It was a yuuge deal, okay? Classy guy… But Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man. Still, it’s a sad day with Caesar dead. Tragedy. It’s gonna be hard to keep our country winning without him, but we need to, people. We need to make Rome great again.“

Happy Father Ted Day

Down with this sort of thing.

“Bonjour, mein Freund, cómo estás?”

“Très bon, sehr gut, muy bien, grazie! Und tu?
