I’m also a heterosexual white male, but I don’t have this problem?

I’m finding it hard to get excited. I got excited about Sense8, which I enjoyed more. Then Netflix cancelled it. I hate losing a story part-way through.

Another one? The studios start telling a story and, all too often, don’t bother to finish it. I know it’s a commercial decision, but it’s still artistically bankrupt. I’m deeply disappointed.

I agree. It’s a popular pet. It can, however, produce up to 1200 eggs a year and, along with several related species (see, for example: http://www.iucngisd.org/gisd/species.php?sc=64) is considered a serious pest outside its range.

I’m finding it hard to get overexcited. For every production I’ve enjoyed (eg Westworld) there have been several more spoiled by gross insults to my intelligence (Star Wars VII; the Star Trek films). I even have a term for it: Abrams Physics.

I love my VPN. The Expanse is not one I plan to miss.

Not to forget that the current exhibition at the NLS is “You are here: A Journey Through Maps”.

Rapp will play Lieutenant Stamets, a science officer on the U.S.S. Discovery that specializes in an astromycology

Apart from that hulking great oil rig, the area is more or less typical of much of the west coast of the Outer Hebrides, with nice people, great wildlife (and almost unique habitats) and some excellent hiking, as well as some of the longest more or less deserted beaches in Europe.

Whatever your opinions of PETA, the notions that there are parallels between the objectification of woman and the objectification of nonhumans, and that intersectionality has to include all oppressed groups are not exactly news. Just as one example: http://everydayfeminism.com/2014/12/animal…

I tend to agree, or if not Ritalin (used to “treat” ADHD), look at the autistic spectrum. There is a prevalent theory, known as the Intense World Theory) that autism results effectively from the brain overclocking. If you put at least some autistics in the right environment you get a high-performance brain. The…

Unlikely. The dole rules are so strict that anyone who can’t prove they’re looking for work is kicked off it and made destitute. Even a one-way ticket through the Channel Tunnel would pretty much wipe out a week’s payment, and that’s before getting to London, getting from Paris to Marseilles, food and so on. No, this…

the economic arguments are totally sound. And I know I was being reductive. I just hate the mainstream anti-GMO arguments which are wrong.

Food has been genetically modified for hundreds of years

“He’s gone,” Davos says, as if to ram the point home.

...but the majority of the human race are mindless zombies, controlled by a handful of psychopaths who are in danger of destroying the world.

To be fair, in Australia those are mostly the descendants of (alleged) petty criminals, along with the odd prostitute. The murderers and rapists were mostly hanged.
