I just think there needs to be more room for all different kinds of men — and not just men! Non-binary genders!

If we’re allowed to stretch to prequels, I’d actually give it to the Hobbit movies.
Seconded so hard. I’m usually capable of keeping my dislike of crappy movies pretty lighthearted— after all, no matter what they do in a reboot, I’ll always have the original, right?
I can’t see this picture and NOT post the corresponding video...
Must... not... get... hyped.... over this extremely minimal Trek reveal... m-must resist....
You’re both completely right. “Trials and Tribble-ations” is therefore only true, pure, concentrated Star Trek episode. Accept no substitutes!
Fun game for people who read a lot of fic: click through until you find a tag which you CAN’T apply to any fic you’ve read. Count the number of clicks it takes and the one that stumps you.
What you’re saying is actually kind of the point of this paper, isn’t it? We shouldn’t assume our universe is special or that it’s ideally suited for life, and the proof is that a universe with different parameters could be “better.” To quote the authors’ conclusion (emphasis mine):
My serious answer is that I’m holding out hope for Star Trek, still.
She likes Spike and Buffy and she shows you a list of all the times the two characters looked at each other for a significant amount of time, and which episodes they did it in. Then she shows you a list of the times Joss Whedon talked about the two in interviews, and what he said, and if it was a recorded interview,…
Searched the comments for Chien-Shiung Wu, found nothing. WHAT???
Oddly enough, when I first glanced at the header image I thought they were all women and went, “oh, that’s a nice change.” Yet more proof that gender assignment is a mysterious vortex of subjectivity, I guess.
Boy, I sure hate the phrase “say physicists.”
People are often surprised to learn that the whole eastern half of the state is arid/desert and that 99% of what they think of as “Oregon” is west of the Cascades. Well, I mean, 90% of what people think of as “Oregon” is Portland, but the other 9% is usually still of the lush-and-green variety. Eastern Oregon has some…
Wow... I didn’t even go to this con or know that it existed, but I’m tearing up over it. True story (not that this is my diary or anything): I’m on io9 right now to de-stress after telling my mom I’m transmasculine. We finished that conversation 5 minutes ago. It went fine, but it was difficult.
Wow, there are some weird replies in this thread. Dumbing down science? A harbinger of anti-intellectualism? Seriously? Smells to me like that nasty little thread of science elitism: the belief that recognizing jargon is a sign of understanding, and that anything without jargon is automatically worthless.
Crap, double-posted. Sorry.
Oh god, Lin’s comments are rekindling a little flame of hope for Star Trek in my icy, despairing heart. But... it’s so dangerous to hope! What if we get burned again?
