The remaking of the judiciary may mean that our democracy depended on the 2016 election, and we’re already screwed

It’s insane that the future of our democracy... for at least the next two years, is dependent on two runoff elections in Georgia.

That’s exactly correct. If you hold websites accountable for what users post, every website will stop allowing users to post anything at all. The upshot is that it would pretty much kill all social media.

If the platforms were to become liable for the content users post his ass and his followers would be the first accounts they’d have to kick off as they are so full of blatant easily disproven lies. Even though they are also responsible for what they delete if what they’re deleting is utter bullshit I don’t see it going…

Last I heard they were getting close.  I’m waiting for it as well.

Great...now get HBO Max on roku you cowards.

It’s refreshing to read a review that doesn’t play Timecop and pretend they didn’t love the first book when it originally came out, especially since the editorial opinion has shifted so starkly (you can do a search for posts about RP1 and watch the tone of the headlines go from positive to negative; it’s fun).

This fucking book. This piece of trash. I read it to fully participate in the podcast 372 Pages We’ll Never Get Back and holy crap was it awful. I mean, yes, there’s some promise and there’s probably a good book in there, but we never see it because Wade has become a James Bond villain as written by Mark Millar,…

I don’t see how people born after 2000 or so can read these books without experiencing some degree of cognitive dissonance.

can’t fault Nintendo for their unwillingness to enter 2020

While I did like the ability to have multiple story lines at once when the companions and Doctor split up, I never felt like I really learned much about the companions themselves. With Rose, Martha, Donna and even Clara, I felt like I knew their strengths, weaknesses and personality. I can’t say the same for these…

I skipped the whole Timeless Child nonsense. Is that a new old TARDIS or at least a better console room than the ugly black and orange crystal one they’ve had for two series?

“EXTERMINATE...high prices!”

That’s the Repetition of the Daleks.

It’s not necessarily even worst instincts. It’s sort of like how everyone admits how much harder comedy is than drama, but comedies seldom win an Oscar because they don’t give people unpleasant feelings.

Well put.

But I also feel that an optimistic, resilient take on the future of humanity seems even more relevant now.

That cynical superhero thing is how I feel about Star Trek. I find cynical Starfleet incredibly uninteresting, and much prefer the utopian version. 

Yeah, I was really disappointed when Ashoka said, “Go to another planet and do another thing.” Blah. We are now at a point where the story could get really meaty. No.
