I don’t know if this qualifies, but I like it. Mix equal parts cold black coffee and Coca-Cola (also works with Coke Zero but not Diet Coke and I don’t see it being as good with other colas). Add a dollop of cream if desired. Add ice if desired. The Coke and coffee flavors mix beautifully. 

I’m currently reading Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor. Before that this month I read How to Become a Henchman by J Bennett, and early this month finished Bystander 27 by Rik Hoskin.

As a Gen X Dad, please consider this me “actually”-ing you.

Master and Commander is awesome. I was so disappointed it wasn’t made a franchise. It would have held its own, much like the Surprise and her plucky crew and canny officers.

I want a twenty-minute extended cut of Saru outtakes where he tries literally every worst catchphrase ever.
“HIT IT AND QUIT IT”
“YEAAAAHHHHH BOYYYYYYYY”
“LET’S FUCK SHIT UP”
“GO TOP SHELF WHERE MOMMA KEEPS THE GOOD COOKIES”

Linus is Star Trek: Discovery’s Dann from The Orville.

There’s always the MST3K annual Turkey Day marathon, best enjoyed with copious amounts of FRESH, HOT CHEESE.

Tell ya what, chief, why don’t you start one and see how it blows up? Weirder shit than that has taken the internet by storm...

Honestly, I would watch a Genndy Tartakovsky production of The Seven Least Interesting Pages of the English Dictionary, because he would make it fascinating, emotionally complex, and beautiful. With subject material like this, it will undoubtedly be amazing.

I hope there’s an updated poll served up via Twitter (instead of calling a phone number) to vote on whether he lives or dies.

Vin Diesel smells like Doritos, Mountain Dew, pizza farts, and 9 hours of basement DnD gaming.

This is great and I’m really happy about the casting, but how awesome would it have been instead for us to get an Orphan Black spin-off of Alison and Donnie: Suburban Killers For Hire?

What, no love for Muscle Sax Guy Band from The Lost Boys?

I’m going to ACTUALLY you here to let you know Tito & Tarantula is a real band. Good stuff, Maynard!

I came here to say this. You get a star.

She’s young, she’s wild, and she’s free.

I have utterly fallen in love with these shows. Midnight Diner, Samurai Gourmet. Bring them on! They are soothing, like a massage for my soul.

Hey... Remember when they invented Spock’s adopted black human sister for Star Trek Discovery when she’d never before existed in canon?

If you haven't seen it, check out Noises Off for a review of ensemble comedies. Michael Caine, Carol Burnett, John Ritter, Christopher Reeves. It's an absolute riot. 

Speaking as a science fiction author with little to no knowledge of the subject and no inclination to start researching when others smarter than I most certainly already have, would an orbital polarized mesh of some kind be effective at reducing incoming solar radiation without that pesky
