The Mars civilization’s greatest expenditure would be rocket fuel for the Mars/orbit ferries.

Thanks for reminding everyone that Jeff Bezos has no plan whatsoever for using his money to make the actual Earth that everyone else has to live on better.

Yes! That’s what humans need! Genetically engineered ubermensch! I’m sure the first thing we’d engineer neo-humans for is the humility not to attempt to subjugate or humiliate everyone else.

...Also for abundant and unlimited resources, an impossibly huge amount of living space, the sheer joy of exploration and discovery, and entertainment.

I want to print this article out and use it to slap tech bros until they decide to invest more in saving Earth instead of trying to escape it in rockets.

They are making a TV series of Lovecraft Country. It’s a Jordan-Peele-esque tale that weaves the inherent racism of Lovecraft’s stories into a plot about a black family on a road trip in the 50s through the monster-infested South.

So I’m channeling the spirit of Alan Moore to tell Alan Moore, ‘F— you, I’m doing it anyway.’ That’s clickbait, guys! Clickbait!

I tried to get into The Witcher through the novels, and just couldn’t. They read like bad anime. The fights are laborously explained, move by move, and the action will stop for literally pages to allow characters to explain their philosophies on life or the current political situation ad nauseum. The first novel…

Both Jerry and Beth voted Trump.

Ron Swanson definitely watches only Fox News. The Trump that gets shown on Fox News is essentially He-Man: Billionaire Genius Sex-God. Ron would see no problem voting for that.

The Avengers:

However, both are ultra law-and-order technocrats who have enough cognitive dissonance to actively flagrantly break the law on a daily basis. They both also own massive corporations (both are defense contractors) which would benefit clearly under Trump’s tax cuts and the obvious military bloat to come.

Well it’s an indie film, Wes Anderson is one of the more popular indie directors, so that’s probably how they cut the trailer.
