This. Junk food full of chemicals, sodium, and fat, overly packaged in plastic and generating excessive trash (and the excessive materials and energy costs associated with its production). Future generations will see this shit and just shake their heads, amazed that we didn't all die out (unless future generations…

The one item on this list I absolutely take issue with is head-hopping. There are ways to write multiple-pov stories without jumping between the thoughts of multiple characters in the same scene. As a reader, I find that intrusive and distracting, taking me out of the story. As a writer, it makes me shout obscenities…

Dear Congress: There is oil on Europa and no bibles. You know what to do.

Somewhere, a Fox studio exec is giggling into a giant pile of cocaine on a hooker's ass.

Hey, remember that show where Fonzie and the rest of the Happy Days Gang were time travelers? Yeah, that was really great. Really, really great. Eyyyyyy.

Get all the politicians out of science. All of them. I don't care what flavor they are. Then put these guys in charge.

Honestly, though... Is anything?

One where the New 52 never happened. Also, the one where James Cameron reads one of my books and wants to make a movie out of it.

So, to properly balance on these skates, you have to either force your toes upward into an unnatural position or lean back, putting your center of gravity behind them instead of over them? NOTHING CAN GO WRONG HERE!

The biggest problem is the unwillingness to acknowledge problems despite overwhelming evidence of their existence combined with willful ignorance and refusal to commit any funding to solving those problems. Pick any issue you like and this is at the root of why it isn't being solved. We're an ingenious goddamn bunch…

With relevant lyrics as well!

Nice shout-out to veteran comic book writer Gerry Conway as Felicity's assistant in this episode.

"Antisocial Internet billionaire"? *coughPersonofInterestcough*

Obligatory "Aliens"-guy picture post. I'm too tired to bother finding a link.
