This one is my fault.

No Sidonia? If you can get past the CGI, it’s still deliciously solid space opera.

Seraph is the worst directed show I’ve seen in a long time. There’s weird, stilted pauses between everyone talking, and the animation is either too stiff or too hyperkinetic.

Some fabric stores that teach classes have sergers which you can rent by the hour; I can imagine that they’d let you use it for free for charity. Some maker spaces also have sergers.

They keep holding CPAC at hotels that also host anime conventions. It kind of trips me out to see photos of the attendees. "I recognize that carpet behind you!"

Any studies on helping behaviors (and negative perceptions) with gay men and lesbian women?

I would return the money out of fear of drug dealers coming to my house.

I'm the weird roommate. If I'm living with someone I like, I sit on the couch on the computer I like and leave piles of books and printouts everywhere. If I'm living with someone I don't know well (Craigslist, etc.), I stay in my room all the time. Also, I horde water glasses in my bedroom.

Alabama doesn't have a statewide public defender program, meaning fetuses can get a lawyer appointed with state money, but real live, already-born indigent human beings cannot.

Fafner: Exodus should really be "Parents and children attempt to teach hivemind aliens about humanity, shoot themselves in the foot by teaching it all the worst things about humanity, struggle frantically to teach the aliens about love and hope and stuff."

That's how old Anakin and Padme were when they met.

My family moved from a middle-class California neighborhood to an upper-middle class one when I was five. We always drove to our old neighborhood to trick-or-treat because middle class neighborhoods are the perfect mix of good candy + the lawns aren't huge so walking between houses doesn't take too long.

Wrongful birth cases are so fucked up. I read a Virginia Supreme Court case where the doctor didn't do a particular Down's test, and the mother had a little girl born with Down's, and then sued the doctors claiming that they should have done the test and had she known that she was carrying a kid with Down's, she would…

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."

And now, another four years of not caring about soccer.

desperate to re-enact "never been kissed"

In 2006, a graduate student told me he'd bumped into Lewinsky in London while wearing a Georgetown sweatshirt and they struck up a conversation. He asked if she'd ever been to DC and she said no, never.

Harvard: the Michigan of the East.
