Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).
There's a trap on your ballot in California. Here's how to get past it.
1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay with they owe so hospitals, schools, and food assistant survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.
2. Props 41 and 42: paid for by billionaires to cancel prop 40. Vote no.
3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.
Yes I'm 40. No on 41 and 42.

I had a Lego version of him. Worst minifigure ever.
An abomination with lil' nubs for arms and what looks like wrenches for legs attached to the top part of a telephone pole. It is wearing a pilot's helmet and glaring at the camera.

Missed it. Lemme know when you get to BaseWars.
BaseWars, an Ultra (that is to say, Konami) game for the NES. It features several different types of robots who play baseball. There are no umpires, instead disputes are settled by battles to the death.

It's in a similar vein. I remember it had quite an effect on my Dad.
I'm not typing it all out, but it's a poem about aliens coming to earth to steal our oceans and atmosphere. At the end the aliens say "we prefer your extinction to the loss of our job."

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

It's vastly more comforting to believe in an imminent robot apocalypse than the truth: the things that will destroy us are extensions of the unsexy but obvious problems all around us. We are not doomed in one grand way, but a thousand petty small ways.
