Oh, and also Ghost Rider 2099 does have a motorcycle.  Just, you know. FYI.

OH MY GOD YES MORE GHOST RIDER 2099!!!

As a West Virginian white kid the tale of John Henry had a profound impact on me. To put it short and sweet, it was one of the earliest introductions in my experience, something that began the process of me integrating my experiences as an Appalachian and my understanding of disadvantage and privilege, exploitation…

I am so glad everyone here is commenting on this. It makes me feel so much better about my immediate thought which, of course, was who the hell wastes pizza like that? Surely not them. Surely.

Surely.

Rick and Morty makes me cry. Legitimately cry. Why? Because it is tragic and horrible and wonderful.

No. It is physically impossible to stop talking about it. Because it is so totally rad. Now excuse me, I need to finish my Pepsi Perfect and debate which Nike products to wear. Seriously. Nike gaudy rules us now. Example? Oregon football:

Niemeyer's body of work is beautiful - on paper. I am reminded of the futuristic architecture portrayed in Disney comics, world's fairs, and communist propaganda - sweeping, swirling, organic concrete. But it is not only irrational when actually constructed, but it loses its beauty as well - the imaginary portrayal…

And, to a substantial degree, this is what anthropologists and sociologists still do! Huzzah!

This reminds me of my reading of Robert T. Bakker's The Dinosaur Heresies. I read it the first time when I was in my early teens and it forever has function is not always obvious camp of science, which I think has been critical for me being the social scientist I am today.

Best possible response. You win the internet today.

THIS IS BULL$#@&! WE ALL KNOW THAT IT WAS MR.PIBB THAT INITIATED THE EVOLUTIONARY DIMORPHISM BETWEEN HUMANS AND OTHER HIGHER PRIMATES!! SONUFA......

I think we'd all prefer to see David Bowie try to bite someone's head off.

I'd say a couple of things - first, historians typically aren't the ones looking for laws of human behavior - that is up to the social scientists (e.g. political scientists, economists, sociologists, anthropologists, and psychologists) - in fact, a large proportion of historians don't believe that we can meaningfully…

Deadpool - just as his complete insanity and tendency to improvise constantly has allowed him to keep up with Spidey and the Taskmaster, so it would prevent Vader from having any Force-based predictive advantage. Zap.

Couldn't say it better myself. So I won't.

Fantastic.

Clearly it is the emergence of huge, migratory, serpentine plants, following the canals in a 1950s glorious, joyous, little boy dream of mine.

First, awesome. Secondly, isn't it possible that we should quit saying X creatures evolved Y characteristic for Z purpose? Purpose requires intention and, of course, has to take place at the individual level. Thirdly, can we not say that feathers might have survived as anatomical characteristics because they were…

I see a lot of talk about Maya, Mayans, empires, civilizations, and all sorts of other such have yous, but I think we're clearly skirting the issue - what. about. the. zombies?

I simply enjoyed the fact that in this series of books we had Appalachian characters who were human, not stereotypes - they were people in the round with all the failings and admirable attributes a normal human being who grew up in an area being exploited for the support of a distant urban metropole might have.
