It all went down hill after CJA left.

There is so much manufactured social outrage on the internet these days that’s it’s hard to tell when a real problem arises. It’s challenging finding plain old news and information, too, because the outrage machine is such a click/cash cow.

I remember when io9 was a site that was capable of writing articles like this with nuance and maturity rather than knee jerk pearl clutching. Whilst this might well be considered a topic worthy of discussion, if you’re starting from a point of dictating where and when an individual of minority descent gets to use a…

Damn. I haven’t been remotely interested in Wolverine since the first X-Men movie debuted, and yet. What a solid trailer that was.

Actually, if you read the article instead of shaming some hard working journalist immediately, you’d know that he didn’t endanger his life. Like, not even close. This is a great video to showcase how, in the words of Paracelsus, “The dose makes the poison.” Science on, brother.

I think anyone would be ashamed to have a Conan movie on a science fiction list.

Yeah, weird choice to link, there are plenty like this:

Track: Waterfall (Demo) | Album: The Stone Roses 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition | Artist: The Stone Roses 

Having defended a dissertation, I’m torn between not wanting to wish that on anyone, and delighting with sadistic glee at the idea of subjecting people to it who are manifestly unqualified.

Right?! Not contributing to the shit-show of this election? What an a-hole this guy is. (extreme sarcasm)

“Hey, where’s the most appropriate place to post this now that we don’t have a news site?”.

What? You don’t want to see Nic Cage as Norman Osborn? I think that would be awesome!

please be Norman Osborn, please be Norman Osborn, please be Norman Osborn ...

“Nobody kills Queen Cersei. She lives.”

That’s pretty much the exact explanation given by one of the screenwriters. It boiled down to ‘who are we set to offend the least with this casting?’

“Brolin, of course, plays Thanos, a character who IS STILL SITTING DOWN”

As a writer, just a crafter of words, Evan is by far the strongest contributor here- take a minute to digest the complexity and creativity in sentences like:
“Luke Cage takes the exaggerated, over-affected mannerisms of 1970s blaxploitation movies and 1990s hood flicks, and brings them forward, pulling threads from the…

Evan, your writing continues to be the best thing going at i09, and each article is better than the last. Keep up the good work.

I never heard it described that way, I would use words like “popcorny” and “quality beach entertainment”.

The notion of this happening amuses me in the same way that it amuses me to watch a bug zapper.
