her show got cancelled and she was dropped by her agent. he was fired very publicly over sexual harassment allegations, and had a show released to great fanfare afterwards. they didn’t even announce that the show was in production until less than a month ago, which was well after everything had come out. Netflix could…

I dunno, probably the fact that Netflix submitted him for Emmy consideration?
Even if you ignore the sexual harassment allegations, he admits to verbally abusing and harassing Jessica Walter. That alone should get him fired, and is now as public as Barr’s comments.
Always interesting when people feel like accurately identifying a double standard means you want both people to be held to the lower standard, not the higher. There is a double standard at play here, but the outrage isn’t that Roseanne was cancelled, but that Arrested Development wasn’t.
Jesus, bother to read the rest of the paragraph about that before you come stumping in to defend the innocuousness of that comment. It was clearly sexual:
he went on to say that he wished he were where the baby was, so, no, that wasn’t intended as a gesture of empathy. he was hitting on her.
Lots of fat people have sex, you fatphobic weasel.
yesssss
Shadowrun: Hong Kong took place in Hong Kong. It wasn’t quite as realized as Dragonfall’s Berlin, but it’s still a pretty cool little urban space.
yes, and Strange Brew is Hamlet. adaptations are their own work, gary.
You could always think of it as creating a better timeline. There wouldn’t be a better future to live forward into if they hadn’t done what they did, after all; even if the old timeline is still there, there’s a better one to counterbalance it.
I’m holding out for an all Riot Grrrl soundtrack, personally. Get some Bikini Kill and L7 in there, maybe some Sleater-Kinney.
Not so much “space exploration” as “spending millions of dollars to launch one of my cars into space as an advertising gimmick,” which is pretty infuriating.
Elon Musk is a racist and plutocrat who despises unions and treats his workers like utter shit, and who actively seeks to undermine the social safety net and avoid paying the taxes that would support it, so, you know, there’s that.

I’ve been on food stamps a lot more recently than Moby and I’m here to tell you he’s up his own asshole on this one, and this sort of argument is classist as absolute fuck. The SNAP provision is vanishingly tiny and getting smaller all the time (despite being one of the few federal programs that generates more…
I actually really like FitzSimmons fatalism here: it’s a much more interesting take on time travel than simply insisting that the future is plastic. Mutable futures are a dime a dozen, especially in science fiction; ones that aren’t, and characters that accept that but continue to work *anyway* are much rarer.
Why would any of that have changed their beliefs about the nature of time, though? Beliefs about religion, maybe, or the nature of consciousness, but the idea that time is fixed? Why? None of those experiences dealt with time in any way. And going to the future would only have solidified that belief: Fitz took the…
Hey, man, you asked why they didn’t try other ways of demonstrating that the future isn’t changeable, and I told you. Do I think they’ll change things somehow? I have no idea. I’m just saying that the characters—especially Fitz and Simmons—have established reasons for believing what they do.
