Rather than having a network that connects the world, you’d have several smaller networks that connect regions. There’d be less communication between regions, which hurts the exchange of free ideas. Imagine a researcher at one university in the US trying to communicate with a counterpart in France - how would that…

The EU’s plan is terrible because in practice it would fundamentally upend the way that copyright works, in effect, assuming that a a work isn’t new until the creator can prove otherwise. Someone say, uploading a YouTube video would need to prove that they weren’t infringing (by having it go through filters, possibly…

Sometimes it is. When you’re talking about orders of magnitude, 120 billion and 180 billion are pretty close. Compare that to something like Spotify at 30 billion, which is a fraction of their size, or something like lumber liquidators, which is only 340 million

He's a non-traditional handsome character actor. Del Toro was asking for him to take lead. 

I assume not high profile enough. I love Ron Perlman, but studios likely wanted someone more A-list. Especially given he notes Del Toro was plugging away at getting the film made for years prior that would put Perlman’s career in the mid-1990s where his biggest roles were television guest spots and the industry was…

I’m pretty sure if there were a bunch of high school kids writing for GMG, no one would be reading GMG.

Oh, he’s a big dumb meathead for sure.

I don’t think “planned,” but it’s certainly played up for entertainment’s sake.

Her eyes filled with tears when she realized she was abandoned. I am not sure how so many people missed that obvious sign of emotional impact.

I got a lot of Washuu (Tenchi Muyo!) vibes from her. Definitely one of the best characters by the end of the first season.

Woman’s pain gets in the way of man’s ego; man soldiers on. This story and more on News at 9.

It appears that as he set out to report a story about family, guilt, and a man’s tortured brush with fame, Alexander found evidence of another story that didn’t fit in with the essay about personal salvation he envisioned.

Yeah it's ridiculous how many people feel totally comfortable armchair diagnosing, despite not having any mental health training or credentials or lived experience of the conditions they're bandying about whatsoever.

First, Catra appeals to her emotional side, suggesting that Entrapta should be sad that the princesses “abandoned” her (a nod to Catra’s own insecurity). But that doesn’t work. Because Entrapta doesn’t care.

She doesn’t and probably won’t meet criteria for any mental illnesses, because her quirks haven’t caused clinically significant distress or impairment. Please, please, please don’t play this game where you diagnose fictional villains with all the mental illnesses to illustrate what’s wrong with them. It just…

It’s about time io9 finally started covering She-Ra!

Warning when it does come out End of Eva is a dark trip. I don’t think there is another anime film that is so tied to its creators feelings towards its subject and its viewers. One of its battle scenes is among the most beautiful and heart wrenching scenes in anime.

Yep. The complaints of these politicians, roughly translated:

It’s almost as if levying tariffs on imported steel helps American steel workers in the short term, but hurts all of the American companies who use the steel they make! Who knew! (Lots of people knew.)

The fundamental misreading you’re offering here is that the problem with the game is entirely due to bugs or the newly launched nature of the game.
