Yeah, tell me how conservatives don’t try to control people. Really, I need a laugh today.

Cool story. I’m sure that everyone would love to talk about public policy surrounding park closures at another time. Right now, in this thread about the likely death of a widely loved and regarded auto journalist, we’d like to talk about him.

Davey was my best and only friend from k-6th grade and really gave credence to the final words in the movie Stand By Me, “I never had any friends later on like I had when I was 12.” Rather, I am 43 now and I still have never found a friend quite like him later in life. Sadly I will never get to tell him face to face…

fuck off

I had a gg-grandfather who fought on both sides of the CW - he was pressed into the Confederate Army, lied his way out, moved the family to Kentucky and then joined the Union Army. In the process, he changed races - he was of mixed race: white, black and Cherokee. He was later joined in KY by some nephews, who also…

Finally, a video that belongs on Deadspin.

hahahahahahahahaha, holy shit you’re right.

He’s wearing heels... next to the Queen, who is 5'4". Talk about a fra

Mt Everest: Come for the views, stay because you died.

Your talk of an aerialist above a mosh pit reminded me of a gig my friends played about a decade ago. A woman who had all those piercings with the hooks and loops so she could hang from the ceiling hooked herself up to a bunch of chains and was literally swinging above the band’s heads as they played.

It’s a blink and you miss it moment. I caught it during my second viewing but as Tony is grabbing the gauntlet, you can see the Infinity Stones fly out for a brief moment before it shifts scenes.

It’s Tony’s nanotech in the second gauntlet to begin with.  Once he locked hands with it, that’s no more odd than him (or Black Panther) being able to store an entire costume in miniscule pieces that can grow and attach in less than a minute.

at the Stark funeral, who was the youngish kid standing alone in front of Captain Marvel?  My brain totally blanked on who that was

I won’t fight you or anybody else on this, but the way I understood the time travel rules, one only creates a splinter timeline if one changes something that changes the way things happened from ones own perspective. That’s a necessity for one keep existing, his original timeline has to remain, so the splint.

Go fuck yourself.

Last Jedi is the third best Star Wars Movie after Empire and Rogue One and anyone who disagrees can go straight to hell.  Do not pass go.  Do not collect 200 dollars.  

A whole season arc about how fighting for equality is Bad, Actually

Crack a fat an root ‘em buggered.

I used to be theater manager for a theater that hosted screening for various guilds and organizations. The group I dreaded seeing the most was Australians in Film. They combined the narcissistic aloofness of the worst Californian stereotype with the brash redneckness of the worst Texan stereotype with the drinking…

Nothing else to say but 'truly fascinating'. We've come so far in so many fields of science in just the past 10 years. And a study like this helps me recognize how much further we have to go to understand our world.
