How to Serve Man.

In case anyone is not aware, this is a reference to an episode of The Twilight Zone[1].

Serve... for dinner!

Perspective is strange. I suspect we're not far from a time when a show such as the Brady Bunch will be as bizarre to the modern mind as the most severe Twilight Zone episode was in its time.

The Twilight Zone is a rebootable property and we have been overdue.

Shit, I just looked and I forgot Jordan Peele took a stab at it. During Covid. He should get a do-over.

It's also riffed on in Treehouse of Horror on the Simpsons, but I am sad to say that episode now happened closer to the Twilight Zone episode than to today. We crossed that bridge in 2018.

Absolute best episode of TZ lmao, top-tier reference right here

Now I'm worried about all of us becoming pawns in a proxy war between them and Cards Against Humanity.

pretty sure the people having their irises scanned are the “tools” and the “humanity” it’s for are the other two thousand five hundred or so billionaires on the earth
