You could get a Fairness Doctrine enacted the same way the right sold scrapping Net Neutrality. Tell rubes it’s something it isn’t. You just say that the Fairness Doctrine is about exclusively promoting the opinions of fair-skinned people (even when it is basically the opposite), and you’ll have every Trumpenprole…

Libertarians aren’t that cool.

Just noting something about the Great Firewall of China: It’s not the only internet censorship in China (they spend a lot more resources on shutting down stories on topics they don’t like, killing anything that goes heavily viral, and paying armies of shill posters); but it is the part that has a clear non-political…

You know, I think things like that, but then I think about how deep the blood would run in DC if I were in charge and I think maybe things could be worse.  

Funnier how they do exactly what they accuse their opponents of doing. The moment I first heard a Republican equating Net Neutrality to the Fairness Doctrine and/or out and out censorship, I should have realized they were going to do something like this.

Wait, what do you think net neutrality is?

Hail Trump, friend.

I’m sorry, but you didn’t preface and end that post with praise for our glorious overlord, so your posting license is hereby revoked.

I uh, I’ll not be posting my results here.

Would the end product have been better if it started with better material?

Would it? In Shadowrun Hong Kong one of the main characters was a (set up, disgraced) cop. It’d just be a different take on the same setting. Could even have Shadowrunners in it.

So is there some reason they didn’t just make a Shadowrun movie?

This is everyone involved collectively saying “oh Christ, let’s get this over with.”

You son of a bitch

Tie Fighter’s engine with modern graphics, new-Star-Wars assets, and new missions. That’s all that is required.

. But to give examples? It does sound petty. One time he put the winter coats in storage. See? Petty.Except that it was March in the Midwest. Except that he didn’t tell me and I didn’t know where the coats were when another cold snap hit. Except that I had to send my oldest to school in an insufficient hoodie because…

Yeah. Aside from the physical risks, I’m really not sure how sex work is fundamentally different from emotional labor.
