What could possibly go wrong?

Oddly enough, Heimdall is one of my favorite characters in the film series.

It's so fake. As soon as they got connectivity, their Microsoft devices would've wanted to download and install a gazillion updates, which would have made doing anything else on the devices impossible. "Where do you want to go today?" Out from under this d'ohme!

Rarely, rarely, rarely is a product placement done so RIDICULOUSLY blatantly.

"I did it thirty five minutes ago" is the BEST gut-punch. Such an awesome subversion of the "talking villain" trope.

Yes, but it's not that easy for a black guy in Florida to stand his ground.

Shhhhh go back to your bubble it's safe and guns and Fox News are bountiful there.

Looks to me like it's just that one of Mark Strauss' areas of expertise is policy and politics, so he writes stories about that and its relation to science/health issues.

"upsetting trend" = "The implications of this science is at odds with my worldview."

Is that speculation, or do you have numbers?

Oh no! The liberals have taken over Io9 and are now forcing the blog to periodically post statistical and environmental science articles that deal with American politics. How can you possibly handle such an insidious agenda?

Io9 frequently covers articles dealing with various fields of science, including statistics. Shockingly enough, a couple of these might deal with American politics.

JJ Abrams does not own the rights to the phrase "Into darkness".

I do so love the False Equivalence Game. There are two sides on this issue, one is looking to implement science standards based scientific consensus, the other is looking to implement science standards that are in line with the lobbying efforts of the coal industry and the book of Genesis. The notion that this is…

There are not "two sides." There are science educators advocating for national science-based science standards, and there are superstitious nutbags who think a supreme being revealed the secrets of the universe to a bunch of stone-age goatherds in the desert. That those stone-age goatherds and their spiritual…

So we shouldn't have science education guidelines that mandate the teaching of evolution and climate change?

Ideology over reality. Same thing that doomed many a communist nation or theocracy in human history.
