And they say that now in Paris, france, even as we speak, Louis Pasteur has devised a new vaccine that will obliterate anthrax once and for all.

I see your point, thank you, and I misused the word aesthetic. My colloquial application had a broader sense of “selfish guidance”, i.e. The will of the breeder, not intended to be strictly in the realm of the breed’s outward appearance. I meant more as in “it fits my aesthetic”, but definitely not the Oxford…

Dog breeding is probably the last great thing mankind has done. (Great meaning large scale and enduring within this context, not universally good) All other livestock breeding is almost exclusively for maximizing agricultural efficiency. Canine breeding is exclusively aesthetic and only paralleled in scope by hobby…

Aaaand cue all the racist comments on asians eating them “for research” or harvesting them for phoney medicinal purposes! Followed quickly by “its not racist if it’s true” remarks. Which is the highest order defense of culturally insensitive stereotype propagation.

Thank you for not using an image of someone pissing into the wind, although it's pretty much the same thing.

I know nothing of comic books, but I enjoy the Marvel Cinematic Universe a little too much. All I know about captain marvel is a contraversy over her costume having a “boob window.” I had no idea who Brie Larson was, and this came up early in the google image search, so I guess the controversy is kind of a selling…

You are thinking of the wrong roles. They will be reprising THESE roles. Can’t wait to see Kevin’s big red butt again.

Here’s my take away: “better than expected” does not mean selling WELL. I hope they ARE selling well, but if the company is saying “better than expected”, that could be placation speech to the share holders: “We knew this would be a loss leader, but it didn’t do as poorly as we expected. Despite initial loses during…

The first Aftermath AUDIOBOOK was a-fing-mazing! It made me want to redouble my efforts to get into voice over work. The story isn’t Darth Plagieus, but frankly, I think Disney is trying hard to be more “General audience”—ALL the new canon stories seem to be small in scope and written for young adults. But the…

Bonus points for Red Green

-5 points for lack of Wil Wheaton

To be clear, this is NOT the 9th planet that the CalTech team claims they will find http://m.caltech.edu/news/caltech-r…

Good point! I retract my prior over arching statement. But there's still rumors of GoG coming to MGM (but since they just announced a new bar inside the attraction, I'm not buying it)

I loved my Diz Cruise. I’d never cruised before, it was *relaxing*. I can’t say that about any other Disney trip I’ve taken. Running from show to attraction, juggling hungry family in the hot hot sun while watching that freaking rat run off with all my money. At least on the boat, I could just say “F-it, I’m on…

Contract issue. Marvel sold the film rights to Spider-Man to Sony before Disney bought it, and Universal got the Us theme park rights (there were no overseas rights on the table at the time, so there’s going to be some Disney/Iron Man action in the Disney Asia parks). There’s some speculation that Disney made the…

I’m very worried about Star Tours at Disneyland. I get that a simulator ride isn’t as glossy now as it was in the 1990s, but the update really spoke “Future of theme park rides” with the random scene changes. I rode it three times in May, and only one scene repeated itself. I’d have gotten on a fourth but the park was…

Obligatory

That’s the funniest thing I read all day. That’s like the classic “Sir, we are losing $1 on every unit we sell.” “Don’t worry, we’ll make it up in volume!”
