This is usually where I post my (very rough) rankings and (very brief) reviews of all the Hugo and nebula nominated novels.

Gosh, what also happened in 2021 that could negatively impact the profits of movie theaters, theme parks, vacation resorts, and cruise lines? I just can’t put my finger on it. 

As a Texan, I could see an alliance between the state’s cities and California. Houston, Austin, and even Dallas are diverse, socially liberal areas with cosmopolitan cultures. And in fact, that’s true of most big cities in Red States. You could make a really interesting movie in which they effectively divorced

I can go with trying not to pick a side.

The Founding Fathers insisted on a separation of church and state, but unfortunately, church found its way into state anyway.

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are just that; pieces of paper. They’re a set of rules that applied for the era they were written. To hold ourselves to a standard established two

How I’m missing ya, you’re the doctor of my dreams!
With your crinkly hair, and your glassy stare, and your Machiavellian schemes!
Alright so people say that you don’t care, but you’ve got nicer legs than Hitler and bigger tits than Cher!
Henry Kissinger, how I’m missing ya, and wishing you were here!

Now playing

I believe wholeheartedly that all Godzilla-related trailers should be legally obligated to use BöC.

Who let the idiot troll out of the greys? Neville has nothing of value to say.

None of what you said makes sense, but the thing that makes the least sense is that they are trying to drive the stock price down to sell the company. If you intend to sell, you want the stock price as high as possible because that becomes the minimum bid for the sale.

Once upon a time, Carrie Bradshaw was real.

This is absolutely false and should be deleted by the moderators. Excess deaths is the only meaningful metric given the incomplete availability of tests and understanding of the sequelae of infection, and it’s not even in debate among serious mortality experts — COVID-19 caused more deaths than the official counts

I don’t understand what’s stopping anybody from talking about a great show weeks and months later, either. “Fishes” isn’t going to be any less of a masterpiece when the final season of Reservation Dogs drops, right?

I don’t watch a heck of a lot of TV in general but when there’s something on that I like I will gladly watch 10 hours of it straight.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who was a little flummoxed about the books being portrayed as incredible science fiction. I didn’t dislike them, and I do tend to have trouble getting immersed in translated works anyway, but it still didn’t really seem like there was much there.

Having read the 3 Body Problem trilogy fairly recently, I’m not sure how this is gonna go. Could be great, could be terrible. Doubly so given D&D’s involvement.

“There did come a time where I needed a break and disappeared and went to Mexico for a week and had time on a beach and laid low.”

Look I don't like Making a Murderer.  I think its too pro Avery it cut out important information to make a stronger argument and I don't think anyone cares about the victims.  But there are few people I trust less then Candace "Hitler did good things" Owens.  So yeah.... super hard pass on this.  

Candace is a fool. She almost always embarrasses herself whenever she’s forced out of her bubble.

“I have an interest in the media’s ability to transform villains into heroes via selective reporting.”

I’m sure the Times has regular meetings dedicated solely to figuring out how to get more Twitter followers.
