The very label “popular” implies a hierarchy, and hierarchy are intrinsically political. So yeah, sorry, but fiction is inherently political. You can blind yourself to it, but every book you ever read was political in some way. You just didn’t notice because the politics fit your default worldview.

If you enjoyed books by people who don’t share your political view then what difference does knowing make?

I’m not sure what any author’s personal politics have to do with this particular controversy.  Hugo voters nominated certain works and people, and the award admins removed them for no explained reason.  Might it have been about politics those people had regarding China?  It’s a reasonable hypothesis, but your comment…

On top of that, while the ineligibility questions are the easier ones to make a story about, the math in the nomination data makes no sense. At best, a ton of errors were made, but far more likely is some form of tampering occurred.

That’s where the controversy started. Its now significantly worse.

as long as there are videogames there will always be 13 year olds processing heavy trauma through them.

Gatwa’s Doctor comes across as more empathetic and more in touch with his humanity and kindness.

For once, a suit made a good call; by the end of this scene I was fully reassured Gatwa was going to crush this role. 

The weird-ass Amico cult is stilla around, I guess.

I was born in 1977. (We had an Atari 2600, not an Intellivision, as the latter didn’t come out until 1981 in the UK). I’m pretty sure I don’t fit your “children” stereotype.

The OG intellivision hit after the Atari not before. As for the caretakers of intellivision they were the blue sky rangers and after a few died I believe they sold the rites to the current guys running it. Who couldn't have done a worse job of trying to do something with the licenses.

The Intellivision released in 1979 - 44 years ago. So even assuming this hypothetical ideal journalist played it as a young child during its “heyday”, they would be at or over 50 years old. How many in that age bracket are even around or left in the volatile tech journalism field? Between that and the fact that 2/3 of…

I figured the logic here was that it would be available on smart TVs so you could install it there and then use your phone as a controller Jackbox-style.

Nah he’s a full jagoff. We can go there with him.

Except he ratted everyone out when he was caught because he’s kind of a jagoff.

It would be interesting to do a Home Improvement reboot focusing on the modern trend of reality home improvement shows.

I can’t wait for Allen to blame Hollywood liberal elites when this doesn’t take off.

I feel like this is just an elaborate ploy for Tim Allen to work with hot 20-something models.

The show ends in the first scene when Tim is unable to afford a home in today’s market and can’t qualify for a mortgage.

I think this is part of why the DCEU failed. They started with his origin, he was barely just starting, which could have been fine, but they wanted Justice League so they rushed it, completely skipping over him actually becoming the guy we know. We needed a post-MoS movie (Man of Tomorrow, come on!) with him…
