This is good stuff that happened yesterday on the Internets. Yes, the Internets (plural) — the series of tubes in the sky that connect us all.
Former Mayor of Champaign Don Gerard met Patton Oswalt at Ebertfest (there’s even a photo!). They became friends as much as anyone can in this scenario, so it seems. Yesterday, they had a pretty great exchange on Twitter:
Dear Hypothetical Prison Warden: If #MartinShkreli hangs a poster of Ayn Rand in his cell, check behind it for a tunnel.
