“The things that go worse are guaranteed to get saturation coverage, particularly things where the perpetrator wants to get saturation coverage, such as terrorists or rampage shooters...”

I’m imagining a much better world than the one I’m stuck in. Thanks a lot.

I’m wondering: which Harrison is that supposed to be in the headline picture? By the face shape and not-completely-white hair, it looks like William Henry, but the beard suggests Benjamin.

This is satire, right?

A new startup has a superlative idea to upload your brain to a server, with only two minor flaws: One, they don’t know how, and two, they don’t know how. Now I realize that technically speaking, that’s only one flaw, but I thought it was such a big one, it was worth mentioning twice.

Some would argue that he’s been writing variations of Holst the whole time ;-)

The thing I wasn’t expecting was for this twerp to be the guy who crowned Otto I and started the Holy Roman Empire (unless you count Charlemagne’s empire as the same entity). That makes him actually really important! What the heck?

Having the 1701 show up, and ending with the original theme song, was cheesy as hell. There’s no denying that.

Haha, I’d watch that.

The premise that the US never would have entered WWI without Wilson is... highly suspect.

Zack’s description isn’t even a description, really; it’s just a frenetic listing of plot points (which we could do for many serialized shows; just imagine doing this kind of description for Breaking Bad, for example; it’d be crazy). If you really want a one-liner plot summary, that’s not hard to do: It’s a disgraced…

The third Klingon episode in all of Star Trek featured one who’d been turned into a human.

Ah yes, I totally should have included the Logic Extremists in that list. Dangit Kinja, why don’t you just let me edit >:-(

Yeah, Zack’s kind of missing the point of this series, I think.

I don’t think Millard ever was a non-weird name; our thirteenth president only had it because his parents—Phoebe Millard and Nathaniel Fillmore—apparently couldn’t be bothered to think up a first name, so they just used their last names instead.

I ordered an Aeropress when they went on sale for Black Friday, and I’ve gotta say, after getting spoiled by the coffee that thing makes, all of these coffee places seem disappointing now.

Error! Must Sterilize!

It’s these damn humanoids. They have no sense of order.

Damn thing started buffering just 10 seconds into the video today. Paused it to go make a cup of coffee and let it build its buffer for a while, and it automatically unpaused while I was away (and after 10 minutes, it’d still apparently only made it 2:30 into the video). Rewind it and play from the buffer it’s built,…
