I agree - while he was clearly always pretty immoral, he clearly cared about his son. I didn't see how that portrayal connects to the Marty who abandons Finn without a second thought.

Alright, I know this might be a silly thing to be annoyed by, but can we please get rid of these titles that follow the "The ___'s Wife/Daughter" formula? If the movie is about the woman, make it about the woman, not whoever's daughter or wife she is. We never see "The ___'s Husband/Son" (or at least, not nearly as

Eh, he's also anti-Semitic and a white supremacist. He might be closer to Stalin than Hitler, but I don't feel like the Nazi label is inaccurate. Two things, etc… Damn, these sorts of conversations are getting depressing. You know it's bad when "Which of history's greatest monsters is the closest fit for the man

Things like this (promoting a movie) aren't supposed to be stuff where a 10 day delay between the interview and going to press would totally change the meaning of a quote, but I don't think anyone was prepared for the amount of shit that's come out of the white house in such a short amount of time.

I'm with you - maybe it's a side effect of studying how to make computers fail for a living, but I don't see computing becoming stable enough to sustain real life for a looong long time.

I'm also wondering if this is maybe from an interview that predates some of the more controversial executive orders. If not, the "wait to see what he does, not what he says" stuff doesn't make any sense at all.

The trailer for this looked really fun, but when it comes down to it I just don't like horror movies, and it seems like this has too much of that in the mix to work for me.

We're less than 2 weeks into a 4 year term. Give it time. And, frankly, I don't think that Trump is a Nazi. He's bigoted, racist, narcissistic, and not that bright, though, and he's advised by honest-to God Neo-Nazi Steve Bannon, so it's close enough to be damn worried. The real insult to victims of the Nazi

You'd sort of expect that with a small population of mixed ethnicity, they'd all be pretty uniformly multiracial by now, unless the breeding program from the gems is designed to preserve those differences.

It was a side element to the overall novel, but in Summer Prince by Alaya Dawn Johnson, there's an ambassador visiting from Japan (the novel is set off the coast of Brazil, ~400 years in the future). He's still human, but most of the people back home have a post-Singularity, digital existence. There was a bit that

I'd assume you're also a pretty big fan of that sherlock holmes one, then? I forget its name, but also about mice.

The original Hans Christian Andersen version is a lot darker too - since this is a horror movie, presumably it's a lot closer to that story than the Disney version.

Well, aside from everything that's happening in the US right now, my husband had agreed that when we had a kid we'd settle down near our families (free babysitting!) and stop moving every couple years (we've moved 3x now for jobs of his), but now, 2 years later, he's got a job offer across the country that he's really

When my grandmother moved into a small apartment from her home of 40+ years we did the same thing. It's a weird feeling at first, but I actually sort of enjoyed going through the family heirlooms with her. It helped that all of us apparently had different favorite pieces, so no one picked the same things.
I think

I finally got around to doing the big closet cleanout that I'd been putting off (hadn't tried a lot of things on since baby), and I'm pretty much back to the same size. Also, got a great picture of said baby (actually a toddler now) intently studying a diagram in Advanced Programming for the Unix Environment to send

My other things from this week that make me smile (aside from when the kid does something cute) are a video of a hamster doing backflips out of his food dish and the Tom & Lorenzo coverage of the Miss Universe national costumes show (a bit of insanity that I look forward to every year), with all its bird ladies and

My favorite piece of art about the immigrant experience is The Arrival, by Shaun Tan. It's a wordless graphic novel, all in sepia tone illustrations, and perfectly captures how disorienting and alien New York must have seemed to immigrants arriving in the 30s (? not sure exactly when it's supposed to be, but that's

Men are socially conditioned to be more aggressive, so they take bigger risks with their bets, as well as negotiating starting salaries more often, etc. The difference in starting salary then significantly contributes to differences down the road, since raises are frequently percentage-based.

Well, good on that cop for leaving the correction on the sign intact.

I definitely think they should do something about them, but I'd imagine that Eyeball at least would have to be restrained or bubbled, because there's no sign that she's at all open to changing her views regarding the gang. Granted, they managed to redeem Peridot, so there's always a chance, but Ruby's reasons for
