Aside from agreeing that Gizmodo should never ever ever do a slideshow again, and certainly not for a review of a TV program, the One Simple Trick to overcome “With a nudge from the Prime Radiant, who whispers to him where to meet her next (just quietly enough so that we can’t make out her words)...” is to watch with…

You mean when they leaned REALLY HARD into primitive society tropes, Native American stereotypes, and the white savior narrative?

This is way late outrage given that in the first episode, we find that the statue of IG-11, honoring a hero, isn’t actually a statue, but the droid’s body, placed on display, and that the only thing keeping it from being brought back to life is the lack of a spare part. The morally repugnant behavior of not finding…

sorry, wrong post location

That is irrelevant to this issue. Most small businesses don’t have the spare cash to defend against a multinational corporation, so they’re going to lose by default. Used to see this with small vineyards in California as well.  One of the huge conglomerates would decide that something innocuous, like an image of bare…

“police chief Steve Drew said that the boy brought the weapon to the school in his backpack and that the shooting was intentional.”

It’s ok because it was derivative, but young people don’t remember what it’s swiped its themes from?

So he’s going to be racist as hell, and refer to a lot of people as “degenerate”?

You know, it’s fine to argue that you don’t like the metaphor, but between Russia about to invade Ukraine, China getting antsy about Taiwan, and the DPRK with nukes and testing hypersonic weapons, you’ve picked a weird time to decide that the threat of global war is no big deal.

You know that you seem to have missed the point of the X-29 entirely. It being aerodynamically unstable wasn’t a design flaw or mistake, it is a feature. The canards were moved multiple times per second to keep the flight stable and controllable, but the inherent instability leads to extreme maneuverability.

So, I haven’t seen this one yet, but do they ever address the fact that the bridge officers all were once lower ranks themselves? Lower Decks seems to consistently forget that captains and commanders weren’t hatched full-grown into command positions, so they actually would remember having had the shit jobs before and…

I think the paperweight infinity stones were powerless because they were outside not just their universe, but all the universes. The TVA is separate from everything. 

Seriously, Giz? “But if your definition of “gain of function” includes a much more broad idea, such as developing drought-resistant crops, then the U.S. government has certainly funded this type of research.”

It was entirely clear from the original WaPo article that he had somehow interfered with the procurement of the contract. Whether he provided source selection sensitive information to a bidder, or interfered with the independent source selection process, he knew the consequences. Now, if we follow the law, he is…

The most banal of sci-fi dragons

Avatar?  You mean Dancing with Space Dragons?

Well, I know now that Jon went off in an escape pod, and Lois ended up with Earth-38's Supes.  The rest I’m still betting will be right.  

I think it looks great, but I suspect a lot of people are going to be disappointed in the cameos, as they are most likely going to be for a few seconds and then their earth will be destroyed

Twas brillig and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe

With wranglings, and the twa hungrily fought.

Gimli stood at his door, the bairn lay nigh,

And the morn was breaking; and when the sun was down

Gimli knew that it was now or never he must go.

He took his fiddle out of his pocket, and with it he sang:

“There…
