Here’s my take: your vocabulary should often reflect the context and community you’re using it in. Talking among to a classroom full of first-graders, then you shouldn’t use these. Talking to colleagues, maybe some are okay depending on your field (curate, utilization are used daily in this field). Talking among…

Children are human beings and not, you know, animals, but whatever. 

Can you not bring your dog to the fucking restaurant? I was in a upscale-ish place for lunch about a year ago, and a woman brought a dog into the restaurant *literally strapped to her chest in a harness* and then proceeded to eat her $18 hamburger *while the dog sat on pink a stool she specifically brought for it to…

The last several weeks I have had The Expanse, Legion and Westworld, and although all have their pleasures, The Expanse was easily the best of the three. It may not be as experimental or philosophical as the other two but it also knows how to tell a good story without disappearing up it’s own ass.

If the show makes it past Cibola Burn you will get your wish.

Back when the show was cancelled (but before it was un-cancelled) the producers had said that this season didn’t have a big cliffhanger, and that it would even provide some reasonable closure.

I don’t think they could drag out rising tension for that long. They did a lot of cues that things were bad. No medicine, stressed shots of officers, repeated callbacks to how much the different factions hate and distrust each other. Only really with Ashford did it feel rushed, but they worked pretty hard to set that…

Abaddon’s Gate is one of my favorite books of the past couple of decades, and while slicing out a ridiculous chunk of the meat, I can still barely comprehend how the hell The Expanse’s team got the message through as thoroughly as they managed to. Hopeful SF…

There’s that old Gawker feeling.

good thing your opinion literally doesn’t matter.

Somewhere at Yum! brands headquarters in Louisville there are staffers taking furious phone calls from executives demanding to know how in God’s name this Kevin Pang character came up with this idea before they did.

I just hate Fallon because he’s unfunny and smug, but to each their own.

You’ve got to be right there at the oven at the 9 minute mark, after that, they can go at any time.

why did i wait like 10 minutes before eating them?

Growing up in the 80's as a disabled kid who was really really into science, I cannot overstate how much of an inspiration Hawking was to me.
