Pictures of Shrek are funny, but ineffective because they’re easily weeded out. What you need is to fill the database with the names of everyone who lives in Texas. Start with Aaron Aaronson and don’t stop until you reach Zoe Zuzz.

And one of the Silmarils was ultimately stolen from Morgoth by Beren and Luthien Tinuviel, and ended up in the hands of Earendil, Elrond’s father, and taken up into the sky as the planet Venus (yes, Elrond’s father is a PLANET).

And Fëanor captured some of their light, from which made the Silmarils.

Next week, streamers plan to step away from Twitch for a day in an effort to combat how the platform continually lets it marginalized creators down.

I love this write-up, James!

Why keep so much money in your checking account? I was taught to keep checking account balances to a minimum so if your account is ever compromised there isn’t much to be lost. After I pay my bills, everything left minus a few hundred bucks goes into savings or investments. If I ever suddenly need cash, I can pull it…

It’s about time.

No.

And get off my lawn!

Afghanistan is the Kobayashi Maru of nations.

This is why we are doomed to extinction. Or at the very least a mass die off that will only leave a very few humans behind.

Space doesn’t take resources away from Earth. All the engineers and technicians designing and building the hardware are paid on Earth, feed families here, etc. The technological developments spread to other industries, bringing new materials, better solar energy, better batteries, better medical technology.…

Y`all ever just want to shut down the internet for a few years to slow things like this down? Go back to the time when your batshit crazy aunt/uncle ran off to the woods because no one believes the crazy nonsense they spout off about?

This isn’t even close to doing what he wants, lol. 

It has been said by many and must be said again: Babylon 5 really needs to be on this list. There were some amazing battles on that show, and with a real human element to them. Lots of folks have mentioned “Severed Dreams”, and yeah, that is a real killer of a space battle, really showing the heavy cost of a battle…

I will also mention the final Shadow War battle was terrific (for the technology you had to work with on a show that defied what the network wanted to give it)

Babylon 5 had some great space battles. The CG was a bit rudimentary, but the Earth starfighters actually following physics was such a revelation. And I’m a sucker for energy weapons powerful enough to carve a ship in half in one shot.
