“Until somebody solves the part of the equation that shows me that ten million people in Seoul don’t die in the first 30 minutes from conventional weapons, I don’t know what you’re talking about, there’s no military solution here, they got us,” Bannon continued.

Jurassic Park (the book and movie) is, no joke, one of the biggest driving forces behind my decision to pursue a career in science. I remember hearing that line for the first time and it was like my brain was electrified. DR. SATLER IS THE COOLEST.

Tim was the misunderstood hacker and dinosaur lover, Lex mostly talked about baseball and was annoying. Also, Ellie Sattler was still had action scenes but was less prominent, with no feminist scenes or particular distinguishing characteristics (beyond “Grant’s pretty grad student”). Gennaro the lawyer was younger,…

If I recall correctly (and please correct me if I’m wrong), I think that Tim was both the dinosaur-lover and the hacker, so we were both happy they switched the hacker to Lex.

Yep.

Her job no longer exists because she had the temerity to ask for a raise.

Elon, as intelligent and skilled as he is, didn’t realize her lack of utility in the prior 12 years that she worked for him (and did so in a capacity that she wasn’t fired for the myriad of reasons that an assistant would be fired, the most…

Psh, what did jobs do? Cell phones?

No, because then I look like the asshole.

I am actually a high school humanities teacher. I think that the US history field is going to have to rethink how we teach history.

Thank you for the tip, Cap’n!
