Were things really better in that regard back in 1970?

Is anti-intellectualism really what’s behind loss of interest in space travel? I doubt most people think of astronauts as intellectuals. Besides, you don’t need to be an egghead to love the idea of space travel. If anything, given how much Americans love escapism I wonder why it’s with space travel that we decide to…

After looking at photos of Apollo-era Lovell I think he looked more like Jimmy Stewart.

I wonder how living German WW2 soldiers were treated in Germany afterwards.

I haven’t played  Kirby game in decades. Also, I just watched season 1 of Heroes but nothing past that.

You know how the place Sylar was defeated in season 1 was called Kirby Plaza? I read it was named after Jack Kirby, but to me it also works as a reference to Kirby, the video game character who acquires the powers of people he eats.

There was a Cinerama in my hometown of Seattle that closed last year.

I hope Stranger Things end with a title drop, like:

From what I’ve read, Lem also didn’t like any sci-fi writers besides Philip K. Dick.

Funny you should mention that since Georgia just elected a Jewish senator.

Funny you should call the f-word “verbal dead wood”, since Deadwood used it over 1.5 times a minute and was known for its eloquent dialogue.

I’m pretty asexual, and was even when I was a teenager, but I think there’s a significant difference between, say, age 17 and age 10(BTW, I actually had to look up the word “ephebophilia”).

Yeah, I never got that logic either. I don’t see how preferring the hometown team is any more illogical than being a sports fan in the first place. I mean, they’re just games.

Is it “bothsidesism” to say that Ted Kennedy’s popularity among liberals/progressives shows that conservatives are hardly the only ones willing to overlook terrible things for political reasons?

As a kid I didn’t know that only the northernmost parts of America got Canadian channels.

I’ve only been to Vancouver once. However, I’ve always been a Canucks fan for lack of a Seattle NHL team until this coming fall.

Ever actually been to the Space Needle? I’ve been there only once even though I’m 34 and have lived in the Seattle area my whole life.

Not to mention the fact that the view from his apartment is impossible.
