Is this the part where we all pretend we didn’t “fly to England” and watch this a year ago?

/just means I’ve been haunted by it for that much longer...

in my comparative religions class in high school we spent 90% of the class watching little mosque on the prairie

What influence does LeBron James have over a prosecutor and a grand jury? Your response makes no sense.

This might be some sort of superstition or old wives tale, but I’ve heard a few people talk about situations in which their loved ones are ill and they know they’re about to die, so they kind of make it a point to “fight” harder to stay alive through the holidays so they can spend those last special days with their…

Descriptors (light, mild, ultra light, low, etc.) have been banned from US tobacco packaging for half a decade now.

OK, he has my vote.

It may be a case of the author knowing the audience, but this article really downplays how awesome Hugh Laurie is. I’m stoked for this series!

Because 20 million people watch it.

I think this episode is supposed to take place in River’s timeline before she goes to the Library. To my recollection, it’s never explicitly said that she’s going to die, just that it’s her “last night with the Doctor.” And I took that to mean that she would have those 24 years on Dillirium and then leave and return…

Charleston has a museum in the very building of the city’s slave mart, which is itself dedicated to the city’s history of human trafficking. And further, a number of the old plantations around the low country have been converted into museum spaces, which include preserved slave huts.

These were probably field-cut trees from the wild, not the heavily fertilized commercial trees that we’re used to.

The amount Kate’s changed the post since the initial publish is staggering - she’s changed her entire “hot take” on the issue.

Yeah, I was going to say, I don’t understand the confusion.

Perhaps they shouldn’t, but people use the “Manhattan Project” as a metaphor in the way Hillary used it all the time. Obama used it in his 2008 campaign in reference to finding new energy solutions. Not sure if you really hadn’t noticed this usage or are just being obtuse.

You are taking this WAYYYY too literally. In general parlance, when politicians propose a new Manhattan Project (which they do literally all the fucking time, google it before posting, sheesh), they are not referring to building a new instrument of mass death. They are using the metaphor to refer to bringing…

Kate Knibbs thinks Hillary is referring to the weapon aspect of the Manhattan project rather than mobilizing the scientific community to solve a difficult socio-political problem with scientific and technological advancement. The fuck?

Yea, this is ridiculous. I’m taking as this is the quality of streaming I can expect from the “Blackberry Priv”. Whatever the hell that is.

Anybody else’s streaming feed on ABC been absolute garbage?

That’s not a “disturbingly real” version of the song, it’s a rather outlandish satire based on how 40s language sounds to modern ears. It’s funny because it’s over-the-top. Frank Loesser wasn’t writing about duct-taping and raping his wife, of course, but the idiom is a little archaic, and lends itself to exaggeration…

Yeah it’s a. It’s a bleak ending for humans. But human children get to go live forever (?) as energy beings! That’s pretty cool right?
