Oh, fine. Just take the damn star.

What’s this “attempting” shit? He’s rocking it.

This is a fascinating issue to me, because it touches on a larger question (for which there is no real definite answer). Does the motivation of an expression of sympathy or an act of charity matter? In other words, if you tweet to this player that you hope he gets well soon, because you’re worried about your fantasy…

The Orlando Sentinel article provides more clarification in response to your concerns (I also live in Central Florida).

My issue is that I don’t know who this spot is for, exactly? To be able to identify all of those settings without any context other than the scenes themselves requires a level of familiarity with King’s works that makes it unlikely you need to be told about the premise of TDT anyway. In other words, if you’re already…

Thank you! I was thinking the exact same thing. At first I thought the wrong video got linked - I was like, is this a gag and some kid made this for a graphics design project? The v/o was fine - kinda cool, actually - but it would have been way cooler if they’d used actual footage from those films or at least physical…

I was trying to read this article, but it was hard to concentrate while shrieking at the top of my lungs.

This has truly been one of my favorite parts of the books so far - George Custer being depicted as a colossal douchebag.

This is a hard situation. I’m an attorney and volunteer as a guardian ad litem and I’ve seen these sorts of cases go a lot of different ways. I’ve seen mentally handicapped individuals who make great parents and are able to do fine with just the occasional check-in from a state agency. But I’ve also seen kids injured…

DAMN. I thought the others were just separate alternate fiction sets and the “Alternate Civil War” series ended with Breakthroughs. Welp, I guess I’ve got my reading through the end of the year taken care of. Thanks for the clarification!

I think this can be explored in a way that’s compelling and thought-provoking, so long as it doesn’t “glamorize” the Confederacy itself. Man in the High Castle is a good example of this - you can tell individual stories while still maintaining the overall perspective of right and wrong. Underground Airlines was one…

I’m actually reading through it now, on the third book (there are four). It basically chronicles an alternate history timeline where the south won the Civil War. The first book involves a fictional “Second Mexican War” which takes place in the 1880's (the Confederacy buys some land from Mexico to give them access to…

The irony that gets forgotten in all this is that if the Electoral College had been left to work as originally intended, Trump would almost certainly not be president. If groups of electors were actually sent by each state to vote and were free to vote as they chose (the way it used to be) noone would have gotten a…

I’m glad I’m not the only one who chuckled upon hearing that line. I’m not even sure if it was deliberate by the screenwriters or not (probably had to be, I suppose) but it came off pretty well.

Presumably doing their jobs and voting. These protests are in Berkeley, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago and NY and those states all went solidly blue.

Great summary of the direction the comics go, and agree with all your points.

Again, I just don’t understand what the NFL’s incentive is to police personal conduct AT ALL. Or at least to not adapt a bright line policy (like the drug policy) - first felony conviction goes to counseling and is private, second conviction is a one-year suspension, third conviction is a ban. Period, done. All the…
