I agree with this except for the fact that R2D2 is the baddest muthafucka in the entire Star Wars story. Nothing would happen without him all the main characters would be dead. He is the only droid I could ever consider to be a Jedi

I do not envy these people. It’s raw and sensitve as hell and no matter what choice they make it’ll be the wrong one to a number of people.

I think there’s a 4th class of people that idolize Trump - there’s a certain wish fulfillment. Take Trump vs Bill Gates. Both men are fantastically wealthy. Joe the Plumber from Scranton does not want to be Bill Gates. He doesn’t fantasize about that. But he DOES want to be Trump. Here’s a guy that talks like…

All of these emails really reinforce my belief that there were three types of Trump voters. 1) The “fuck you” vote, which encompasses the anti-PC sentiments, the “blow up the system” sentiments, and the “he’s not a politician” sentiments. Basically, people who felt, for various reasons, that the system either wasn’t…

Poor Billie Lourd, this has to be the worst week ever...

Thank you for everything, Carrie. For your bravery and charm and your refusal to shut up or give up. For lifting the veil off mental illness. For refusing to be ashamed. And most of all for showing my daughter that being a princess isn’t just about finding a prince. You will be so missed.

Every time I look at the picture of him with his finger pointed in the air, mid-shout, I get chills. It’s horrifying and yet it’s one of the best-composed pictures I’ve ever seen; the tie still ramrod-straight and yet tilted with the raising of his arm, the fact that the gun is almost an after-thought in his moment of…

yessssssss, I’m the queen of this. Or I make my much braver roommate watch it and tell me how it ends.

No offense to Rob or the remaining team at io9 because they generally do good work (except Andrew - keep your sploid crap to yourself), but wow has them being a subsite of Giz made the site measurably worse.

Reading detailed descriptions of horror films is literally my jam (I’m too much of a fainting flower to watch them but I love a good mystery) so I’d love to find out how it ends.

YES!

Thats it... were officially done as a culture folks. Emoji’s are the end.

In particular, his origins scene. That whole thing was awesome, from start to finish.

Yes to the Westworld moment (Ed Harris’s big smile right after that photo was worth every second of the show), the Preacher motel fight, and Superman being unable to heil Hitler. I’m still not sold on Lyanna Mormont, I just can’t get into that character.

I think you’re missing one scene in your “Best” category...

Lyanna Mormont 2020.

Biologist here. We can respond to this. These trees offer more to the planet than younger trees (more CO2 absorption, deeper roots, more biodiversity etc) and it takes hundreds of years to replace them. Make a quick call to your representatives demanding protection for older forests. (Planting new trees in cities is…

I’m sad. Everything about this is just sad. I’m not scared or angry or frustrated (ETA: anymore, at least not right now), just sad and disappointed that we’re stuck with this fucker for 4 or more years and that we’ve validated hatred and anti-intellectualism.

Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps it brains

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real…
