Later birds had teeth, too. Are Sulcavis' teeth more interesting because they show birds' teeth specializing, rather than just atrophying?

I don't think the writer says he's overrated, just that he has a habit of not doing the movies he says he's going to.

It comes from freestyling, when a rapper had to find the beat and keep the crowd going while doing the requisite - really impressive! - mental gymnastics necessary to get started.

I'm wondering if anyone complaining about the lyrics read the song's title.

Confusing enemies with dense prose and bifurcating paths.

So basically - these scientists are on to something? And can go on to apply their findings to further research that will probably seem less intuitive to you? Are we to assume you are also aware of the physiological findings associated with this technique?

Got a link to the recipe you used?

"Accidentally"

"...but you can love something and acknowledge its warts at the same time."

That literally looks like the most delicious desert I've ever seen.

On the whole I agree that's over the top in its presentation, but I can't imagine that pop-culture critique is really the same thing as the KKK having a racist blog.

As a minority reader, Tolkien leaving POCs out didn't bother me quite so much as getting to Return of the King and meeting Tolkien's POCs.

It's more like this, I think. Special effects are special effects so we're suspending disbelief, but in an image like this one from Gone with the Wind, our brains simply aren't processing that it's not possible on its own because we're swept up in the drama of what the image is conveying.

Looper at least goes out of its way to say, "Don't think about it. We try to avoid problems. Things get more complex than we can understand when there are problems. That's why we try to minimize them." Handwaving of the best kind.

We know Ozymandias couldn't kill Dr. Manhattan. It's just that at the end he tries.
