Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.

You might be right, but I hope not. Who is the more dangerous villain, Bane or The Joker? Bane caused much more damage to Gotham, but at least his motives were somewhat comprehensible. The Joker’s only true motivation is the suffering of others. He’s sadistic, nihilistic, and unpredictably volatile. He’s pure evil.…

Hackman’s Luthor was great, but a serious departure from the comics. But I think you’re right, as far as real-life models go, his version is pretty accurate.

Of course I meant figuratively, but he actually has literally been used as a comic book villain, even pre-2016. From New Avengers Vol. 1, No. 47, (2008):

I’ve been saying for months that Trump is literally a comic book villain.

Yep. I remember reading a quote from them in an article about them seeking immunity from an anti-abortion measure based on religious objection that kind of made me want to join The Satanic Temple.

To be fair

It’s pretty bad when even the WSJ and AEI have debunked this idea:

Case and point: Look at how many channels there are on TV. And computers and the internet are largely to blame for this.

Way to take a principled stand. I’m talking strictly about the political calculus involved. Mass shootings are tragic, but not the majority of the 2,500 dead children annually due to gun violence. You know what else contributes to gun violence? Inequality, segregation, poverty, and lack of mental health resources. Do…

When the dozens of Democrats, led by the unflappable John Lewis of Georgia, sat down in protest over a vote on the very important issue of gun control

Still, it doesn’t seem like a case that would have scientists completely baffled.

No problem, my sister and brother-in-law and I just had this same discussion after we got back from seeing the film last night, so you’re not alone in your observations. I definitely noticed the uncanny valley issues, I guess I just consciously ignored it because I was fully immersed in the movie. My nerdjoy at…

Maybe it’s because I watch a lot of animation and CGI and I’m somewhat desensitized to it, I don’t know. Regardless, I thought that any flaws were outweighed by the importance of including the characters for the sake of continuity. One of the main things I liked about the film is that it filled in a gap in the Star…

I thought they were fairly well-done. They weren’t “seamless,” but the tech is almost there and their inclusion worked well in the context of the story. I thought Tarkin was done better, but that’s probably because he is a less iconic figure so the facial details aren’t burned into our memory.

What do you mean “scientists have no idea why?” Ant mimicry is actually fairly common, including by wingless parasitoid wasps. Ants and bees both belong to order Hymenoptera and suborder suborder Apocrita., so they are already fairly close biologically.

The fact that this is not a unique occurrence somehow doesn’t make me feel any better, since we are already in the midst of the sixth mass extinction event, this feels a bit like a blackbird in a coalmine.

I suggest you read what the SPLC has to say about it:

Oh wait, Kenshn was Japan made and this is Hollywood...

I think I would look to 4Chan, Breitbart, and the Daily Stormer rather than the History Channel to trace the rise of Trump and the alt right.
