That's the law that says any story set in Baltimore must require us to confront the existential dread of living in an uncaring world, right?

I said Thomas Paine, because I was thinking of Hobbes and was doubly wrong.

Aside from the uncomfortable politics this just reminds me I'm out of touch with the X-Men status quo.

I find it really endearing how, even though he made a career out of being a 90s Movie Jock, he's an unabashed geek who does pretty good voice work in a bunch of different Sci-Fi universes.

Sometimes they do.

Fark will always have a place in my heart as basically the only site that didn't crash under the heavy load of real-time updates on 9/11.

That sort of journeyman record wouldn't bother me if this were Star Wars. Both have a pretty standard Hero's Journey at their hearts, but what always wow-ed me about Dune is all the wheels that it spins and how it really gets me to believe that those wheels would continue to spin whether I was watching them or not.

I was really excited for this when I after reading the Villenveuve was attached and seeing Arrival.

Is Spider-Island any good? I skipped over it at the time.
Is the C&D tie-in worth it if I haven't read any the main issues?

They seem an odd pair to create a show around.

I honestly thought S-Town was just where they banished S-Club-Seven members to when they aged out.
You know like the The Menudo Menagerie or Destiny's Orphanage.

I really think they missed an opportunity by not including "The Book of the Iron Fist".

It really wasn't worth it.
Just one guy ranting: "You're a cuck" this, and "Leftist roasted!" that.
Then a whole series of non-sequiturs and declaration of winning an argument no one was having with him.

As someone who's a similar age to Finn Jones and went to private school in New York with a few ultra-rich students, that iPod selection is pretty much exactly the same as mine and everyone I knew at the time.

How can an asphyxiated horse scream?

When I was in school, one of my roommates' paper writing ritual involved choosing a track to just keep repeating while he worked. I think the monotony let him get into a groove so he could just sit down and crank out 40 pages.

Eh. This works well enough, but it seems like a bit of a cheat to take something that was directly satirizing our last incompetent Republican president and apply it to our current one.

If your laptop stand is that steep, it was probably intended so you use the laptop screen as a monitor with a separate keyboard.
The high angle keeps the screen perpendicular to your eye-line and the built-in keyboard out of your hands' way.

I'm stuck with an instance of Chrome open just for the AVC, since the option to log in using my AV Club account has gone missing in Safari.

I wish my thermostat had WiFi. I'd could program my own logic that uses more data to set the system.
