Fun fact: all manned space capsules have emergency Launch Escape Systems (LES), but they’ve been used only once. Soyuz T-10a (1983) caught fire on the pad; the crew escaped via the LES with only two seconds to spare. They pulled some 17 gees for five seconds and were seriously bruised, but survived otherwise uninjured.

...the Tom Cruz*-led movie.

That’s because this article is about things that WON’T be in the movie.

A drug-addled, schizophrenic shitbag who basically invented what Terry Richardson does, then created Terry Richardson through a series of fucked up childhood vignettes, such as 4-year-old Terry finding his dad in the bathtub with his wrists slashed, or 42-year-old Bob loudly fucking 18-year-old Anjelica Huston all day…

Oh, so does this mean we can finally quit pretending that Terry Richardson hasn’t been gross as hell FOREVER? Also, his shitty photography has always been just as much garbage as he is as a human being, and I will never understand his popularity.

This is totally in character for the CofE. They interview everyone who wants to do something in one of their churches — and as a group they have a great sense of humour. I was American.

Since they were willing to bring back Jimmy Smits as Bail Organa they should be willing to bring back Ewan. He’s the best thing to come from the prequels.

Ah, but which is which?

Well, I guess he’s finally ginger.

Anyone else think Tennant looks like a time-traveling Bill Nighy in this pic?

Funny, because being willing to embrace its own long history is precisely why I love this show.

Still before Winds of Winter.

Yeah they don’t count people who are still in prison when they calculate recidivism rates. That’s not how this works.

Yeah, please fuck off forever. I’ve lived through catastrophic natural disasters. People need to eat and drink clean water. Christ, go jerk yourself off with Atlas Shrugged again, you wretched piece of shit.

Holy crap is this a nuclear take. Does it occur to you, oh paragon of the Free Market, that a supermarket has already written off its entire stock? If the power’s out for as long as it has been the entire damn inventory is no longer able to be sold, it would be thrown out either way. But hey someone somewhere is…
