The actual collision, yes, but the “event” starts at about 4:04, since that’s when it starts playing the sounds of the trains heading towards each other. It’s more interesting if you skip to there instead of 4:16, if you’re going to skip :-P

Uncarrier is pretty much obsolete as of today. New T-Mobile will be in the same ballpark as the other two sizewise, so they’ll only need to suck slightly less than VerAT&Trash to be competitive.

So, the first thing I had to on reading this was to look up the Joplin rag, which I’d never heard of before. And here it is for all of your viewing pleasure:

Am I the only one whose first thought upon seeing that headline picture was that it was going to be a retro review of some old Sixth Doctor episode?

“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.

That may be, but your version doesn’t allow me to make outrageous puns whilst simultaneously slipping an F-bomb past the Kinja censor, so I’m going to declare it heresy. HERESY!

He describes his character as a “baddie”, which wouldn’t seem to fit if it’s about the Gunpowder Plot. I may not be British, but I know enough to know that Fawkes is the bad Guy in that story. (Seriously... Fawk that Guy)

Looks like your post fell victim to... Poe’s Law.

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.
