Mike Pence actually scares me more than Trump. Trump is a blustering buffoon, but Pence is a damn anti-abortion zealot.

So Newt is a Ferengi?

Older women assume you’ll kick them to the curb as soon as you see the first stretch-mark or wrinkle on their bodies— because that’s what years & years & years of culture/media conditioning has taught them.

The federal government currently guarantees twelve weeks of unpaid maternity leave

Everyone is replying to you saying that the point of the show is to make us see Westworld as creepy and be uncomfortable with the concept of people letting their inner Caligula out while at the park, but I think the story is being set up pretty clearly in favor of the AI robots gaining their agency over their creators…

I could tell you stories of feces painted on walls, bloody pads left on floors, or even funny stories of empty dvd cases people use to leave in the toilets at my old work... but since this is more focused on disturbing than disgusting I will tell a different story. At the time we were living in Houston- but once a…

And you have restored my faith in humanity.

I don’t know if this really counts as “public” but when I was in the Navy, the aircraft carrier I was on made a port call in Karachi, Pakistan. We had been out to see for something like 45 days, and everyone was a bit stir crazy. On the way in, as they usually do, the public relations department made repeated…

The community’s failure to replicate studies is a big part of this problem, too.
