Nobody with any semblance of competence or ethics or ability to perceive an outside world that has a consistent nature independent of your own beliefs would last a single day as the White House Secretary under Donald Trump. That doesn't mean they should. If a sky train's going to fly off a corner and into a crowd of…

There was a conflict of Seans.

If the South had abolished slavery a few decades before the North, and then fought it over their unwillingness to accept slavery at the federal level, it may have been possible that the Confederacy could get enough of a technological head start to overcome their deficiency in numbers. That would be a weird alt-history!

Sure they'd still have slavery today. It's like how women now still can't vote. Societies are completely static outside of specific junctures in history!

Aaand that's the last we'll hear of that.

Are you suggesting that guns aren't the solution to every problem? But they're loud and the thing comes out and then stuff happens! It's the perfect tool!

I think you're talking about that John Carpenter movie. Uh, can't quite recall what it was called.

Hey, Mulholland Drive had things in the groin too!

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Best Music. Deserved it; it's like they boiled funk down to a molasses-like consistency and just poured it all over the audience. It also won the Technical Grand Prize, and that sounds like an award that needs context to understand what they were even prizing (Wikipedia not-so-helpfully tells me that it's an award for…

Looks like it may be neat. Xavier: Renegade Angel, Luxury Comedy, Hausu, Beyond the Black Rainbow, and Liquid Television are all keen to me, but there is also a lot of outre humour dross.

You really don't need to help make science reporting worse than it already is, you know. Science is amazing and rad without lying and exaggerating - for example, Adam Savage toured an MIT lab where they're replicating objects at the molecular level using bacteria that have been genetically-modified to be…

The dumbest Terminator hypothesis is from James Cameron himself, who's said that Skynet regrets killing off humanity and created the resistance to wipe itself from the timeline. So why not upgrade to trying to obliterate terrible films?

Obviously because of Fletch Lives!

They should drop this modern bullshit and really dig into the insane idea that Transformers have been here for a million years. Like, what if the Autobots were the titans, and the Decepticons were the Olympians? It would be so easy to translate any ancient myth into Transformers.

Hm, what's extraordinary about this locomotive that's running miles away from any track is how unsuspicious it is.

Why wouldn't it count for everything?

That name is stupid.

Actually it ends with giant words swimming around the bigger cage reading "FAMILIAL RESPONSIBILITIES" and "YOUR SCUBA EQUIPMENT DEPOSIT". I know, it makes no sense to be hunted by something you're going to lose, but this is a movie where the transceivers don't work if you're one metre under the surface and 47 metres…
