Ultron was a watered-down Thanos. “I’m supposed to create peace, and the only way to do that is by getting rid of humanity... and to do that, I’m going to... float a city or something...” I haven’t seen it since it came out, but that’s what I remember of the plot. Ultron was a better character in the comics. I think…

“Meanwhile, The Daily Star’s story continues to be up on the paper’s site; the organization has been sued for (and settled over) libel charges a number of times over the years, but it’s still baffling that they thought they could get away with allegedly straight-up inventing an interview with one of Earth’s most…

Baseball’s financial system is so badly skewed toward older players; if he were to stay with the A’s and take just two years to reach the majors (which would be pretty fast), he’d then have three seasons making around $500k before seeing anything approaching real money. It’s not just possible, but expected that he…

Hyperbole combined with inaccuracy...as 10 of the players ( on each side ) can use all parts of their bodies except the bits from their shoulders to their hands and the other player can use all of his body.

Took one sentence for me to think, “Yeah, I’d rather just work.”

I love all the people mindlessly fellating the guy who said “Mon Mothma did it” but none of them seem to remember she wasn’t ON THE BRIDGE IN THE MIDDLE OF BATTLE wearing that shit. Formal dress and what you wear on the front line is not the same thing.

Where’s the post where you defended Theranos?

You might recall the opening to a movie called Star Wars, where a ship overtakes a smaller ship and boards it, and a firefight ensues.

You’re using the PREQUELS to justify the outfit?

1. Everyone is wearing a uniform. They all have their fucking tags on their left breast and most of them are brown or they have their red pilot shirt and white vest or whatever. Leia is just wearing a big overcoat thingy over her uniform, the uniform that Akbar and everyone else in the command center is wearing. The…

Uhh, Princess Leia never commanded Death Star attacks in pristine white gowns. At the end, she was wearing the same outfit as she was wearing when she was captured in A New Hope.

You’ve missed the entire point. It has little to do with function, but has everything to do with form.

But seriously, why is she wearing a long dress as a commander on a war ship?

Dredd is such a gem! :)

Because she didn’t tweet “FUCK YOU, CORPORATE CENTRIST THIRD WAY TRASH,” stab her in the heart with Bernie Sanders’ letter opener and then unfurl a DSA flag from the roof of the Capitol Building while blasting We’re Not Gonna Take It from a boombox, as she was supposed to.

Oh please the celebrated wordsmith that is Michael Harriot cannot be expected to actually take into account an entire article to which he links.

So you’re saying that Medicaid inspires you?

Chill, child.

Former President Doesn’t Get It; Wet Behind The Ears Child Blogger Gets Everything

Uh, I was actually going to comment on how Jenkins wasn’t a good example for Rife to make, but without the all caps hyperbole. Jenkins is a bad example though. She was consistently offered movies after Monster and has explicitly said she moved to TV so she had a schedule that was more conducive to her family. When she…
