No. But every time there is this death row debate, people point out the crimes the condemned committed, as if people who are anti-death penalty are unaware that the people on death row have been convicted of horrific crimes. We understand that. It’s beside the point, and it says a lot when, to make carrying out the…

You beat the shit out of hat straw man!

Maybe the point is that we as a society should aspire to conduct ourselves better than the most cruel, violent small segment of our population.

The difference being Jack built that stadium with his own money.

In theory, Snyder could pit different jurisdictions in the area against each other, but Maryland isn’t going to pay for another stadium while FedEx Field is still there, there’s no room in Fairfax or Arlington Counties and no one wants to go to Loudoun (nevermind that publicly financing a stadium in Virginia is…

Cleveland could use a pro team.

lololol the best part is that there is nothing “hit piece” about this. It’s literally a report on what happened last night. But I guess it’s not surprising for Trumpers to be offended by reality itself, is it.

“should the US allow the unstable dictatorship to gain the ability to launch a nuclear ballistic missile?”

“His parents grudgingly signed the forms, and McSorley travelled just across the B.C. border to Blaine, Wash., to enlist in the U.S. army, which was accepting anyone who came through the door.”

Counterpoint: don’t throw baseballs at people.

FIBER!

Not to have ideology, not to have funding of research be left to whimsical venture capitalism, to show support for inclusivity and knowledge progress on fronts that benefit more than one class, to show support for young scientists (who are A METRIC FUCKTON MORE DIVERSE than old scientists, which is a good thing in…

“these people” = some organisers but not most of us. It was political and it’s pretty much just some old head-in-sand white guys who deny that. Those of us who actually have skin in this game marched for it. It’s not nebulous if you’re a scientist; the issues are very real, very personal and very global.

So, on the subject of FOIAs, who wants to do a FOIA on the process of getting rights to use that song?

Dude, take your stale, tired-ass alt-right horseshit somewhere else. Your Hillary Hard-On has no relevance. Go to bed.

They’ve addressed this a number of times already. They want the heroes to be memorable. They want people to want to see the title characters. With that in mind, if you spend time building a character up you have to take time from somewhere else. Why have the Marvel Netflix villains: Kingpin, The Purple Man, Punisher,…

No way. Wikileaks is an asset for a candidate running against the establishment, but a liability for any sitting president. Trump has nothing to gain with a pardon, but could wl might prove a huge pain if it turns against him

I don’t. Trump doesn’t strike me as the type of person who ever feels he owes anyone anything. He got what he needed from Assange. Plus if he arrests him he can then say “see I’m not in bed with the Russians” same reason he’s turned on Russia. He got what he needed from them. I hope no one is shocked. Trump doesn’t…

Yeah, this is clearly because io9 favors Marvel over DC and not because io9 favors, rightfully, Jeff Goldblum over everything.

....have you never seen Jeff Goldblum act? Even when it’s bad, it’s entertaining.
